Sometimes we believe that children are rubber and that it is not possible for them to cause back damage.
But it is not true. Yes we must be very careful to avoid problems in the spine in the future.
For starters, there is not much awareness about chiropractic checkups, which performed on time can prevent future injuries such as scoliosis, lumbago, poor postures or hernias.
To give us an idea, at birth, the baby undergoes a delicate pressure in his spine weighing up to 40 kilos.
Taking the baby badly, transporting it improperly, both in backpacks and in the various systems that are available today to carry the baby, or by lifting it from the cradle inappropriately we can damage its spine.
Even a daily gesture such as raising your legs to change the diaper can contribute to colic by stressing the spine.
Just like cradling the baby in arms with the head misplaced or lifting the child from the arms can cause tension in his spine or injure his vertebrae.
So also the baby falls when they are learning to sit and walk.
There are some very important things that parents can do for the health of our children's spine.
A good mattress is essential, as are regular check-ups with a specialized doctor.
Load the baby in arms properly, check that the head and neck do not hang.
Be very careful when playing games so that the child does not suffer whiplash or neck and back injuries.
And above all, teach him to adopt a good posture since childhood.
