Montreal Kids Benefit from Chiropractic & Nutritional Care

June 13, 2017

Kids and nutrition. Montreal kids don’t think about it. Montreal parents don’t always think about it. But Montreal nutrition is critical in Montreal kids’ spinal development and growth and Montreal chiropractic care. Good nutrition also boosts good spine and bone development which your Montreal chiropractor thinks about! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic talks nutrition whenever the opportunity presents itself. A good Montreal nutritional foundation as a youth potentially contributes to a healthier spinal life.

WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?

So what prevents Montreal young people and their Montreal parents from thinking about their nutritional status? Likely the same things that hold young adults back - belief their diet is correct, no symptomatology, and confusion over nutrient sources. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows that a life experience draws notice.

WAKE-UP CALLS

When do young people think about their nutritional status? At the same time it would get the attention of an adult - when there is pain. Amazingly, 71% of schoolchildren aged 12-17 years say that they had at least one episode of low back pain. (2) 17.4% of students report cervical spine pain. 18% state low back pain. Older adolescents (24.4%) are affected more by cervical spine pain than younger ones (11.9%). Older adolescents (25.1%) feel more lumbar spine pain than younger ones (12.4%), too. (3) More girls than boys report back pain. (4) As researchers share, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic sees that Montreal kids with spine pain share some risk factors for Montreal back pain and neck pain.

RISKS FOR Montreal BACK PAIN

What puts kids at risk of spine pain? Lots of things like limited sun exposure, inadequate vitamin d diets, adiposity, lower physical activity, sedentary lifestyles, vitamin 25 (oh) d deficiency, and lower levels of calcium, creatine kinase, and lactic dehydrogenase. (2) Being inactive increases the odds of having neck and back pain in adolescents. (3) In an 8-month study period, 52.2% of schoolchildren had low back pain. 34% had moderate and 18% had severe back pain. More girls (36%) than boys (24%) report back pain. These moderate and severe pain schoolchildren had higher body mass indices, waist, hip and waist-to-hip ratios. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic evaluates Montreal back pain kids and adults to check for risks and set a treatment plan to thwart them from turning out to be painful realities.
