Five Ways Your Child’s Body Will Communicate Spinal Blockages

Like adults, children can experience stress that manifests in their bodies, potentially leading to spinal blockages. These blockages can impact their overall well-being and behaviour. While it's natural for parents to worry about their children's health, understanding the signs of spinal blockages and knowing how to address them can make a significant difference in supporting their development and happiness.

As parents, it's essential not to blame ourselves for moments of less-than-ideal parenting. We're all doing our best in a world filled with stressors. Instead, we can focus on supporting our children in managing and reducing stress in their lives and bodies by being vigilant for signs of spinal blockages.

A child's nervous system often communicates when something isn't right, potentially indicating the presence of spinal blockages. Knowing what signs to watch for depends on the child's age and stage of development.

Here are some common indicators:

1. Physical Symptoms: Look out for complaints of headaches, shoulder and neck pain, digestive issues like constipation or diarrhoea, sleep disturbances, frequent earaches, sore throat, or recurring infections.  A breastfed baby may only want to feed off one side.
2. Emotional Cues: Be mindful of unusual expressions of sadness, irritability, overwhelm, fear, worry, mood swings, crying spells without apparent cause, sudden bursts of anger, or overall emotional sensitivity.
3. Repetitive Thoughts: Notice if your child exhibits self-doubt, engages in hyper-negative self-talk, obsessively replays events, or struggles to stop thinking about specific issues.
4. Impulsive Habits: Pay attention to habits like obsessive counting, nail-biting, skin-picking, or impulsive behaviours that may indicate underlying stress.
5. Behaviours: Watch for signs of social anxiety, frequent zoning out, procrastination, restlessness, or changes in behaviour that deviate from their usual patterns.

Regularly checking your child's spine for blockages with the help of a spinal flow practitioner can play a vital role in maintaining their overall well-being. By addressing spinal blockages early on, you can support your child in achieving optimal health, both physically and emotionally, and help them thrive in their daily lives. Remember, the more prolonged blockages are in the system and the more layers the body builds up, the longer it takes for the body to decrease them. Being proactive in caring for and paying attention to their spinal health can make the world of difference in your child's journey towards wellness.
