Unless a child has an obvious problem, it can be difficult for parents to recognize when a child has vertebral subluxations. It is not always easy for someone other than a chiropractor, highly trained in the art of analyzing the spine, to determine if the child has a problem, just as it is difficult for someone other than a dentist to determine if a child has any cavities. Both cases take the skill of a trained specialist to perform a thorough evaluation.

There are some signs however which parents look for, which can be an indicator of a child with a challenge in their spine. Common indicators of vertebral subluxation may include the child’s head consistently being tilted to one side, restricted head or neck motion to one side, disturbed sleeping patterns where the child sleeps for only an hour or two at a time, and feeding difficulties where the infant may have difficulty nursing at the breast on one particular side.

Common childhood disorders can also sometimes indicate a spinal problem. Persistent earaches, sore throats, colic, headaches, bed wetting, and growing pains are but some of the more common problems for which parents bring their children to the chiropractor.
