MRI Shows 10% of Kids Have Disc Degeneration!
August 10, 2009
We often associate disc breakdown with aging, but studies like this are giving us valuable clues to figuring out how this process begins. Why does this degeneration occur in children? Backpacks, musical instruments, sports,
excessive sitting can all cause micro-injuries to the spine that if left uncorrected cause degenerative change that may not be felt for YEARS to come.
Have you ever been to the dentist and she says, “You have a cavity that has been there for some time” even though you haven’t felt a thing? Just like cavities, spinal decay can start early and progress without you feeling anything!
A healthy spine is NECESSARY for your kids to be successful in school, which is why, for the month of August you can bring in your child for a spinal exam to check for signs of spinal stress and spinal curvature for only $30. Get your kids “back” on track!
