How to Tell if Your Child has Been Injured in A Car Accident!
posted: Dec 25, 2019.
The basic rule is if an Adult in the accident has been injured the child in the same accident has been injured worse! Signs that your child should be checked by a chiropractor that specializes in pediatric auto injury treatment include:
Changes in sleep patterns
The child begins to perform poorly in school
The child begins to feel tired all the time
Behavior changes
Child complains of pain or headaches
Child no longer plays normally
You were in the accident and sustained injuries
Clumsiness
Relationship problems with friends and family
Child holding their head often
A child begins hitting their head against anything
Idiopathic Pains
Child Hospitalized, doctors can’t find the cause.
Gradual onset of digestive disorders
Ear infections
Muscular-skeletal pain of any kind such as neck, shoulder, arm, leg, knee, hand or lower back pain.
During an automobile accident, your child’s head is whipped back and forth at great speed. When this happens to a child’s young developing brain and spine it causes more injuries than the same forces would inflict on an adult. Auto Injuries often cause decreased blood flow to a child’s brain this can result in impairment until the situation is corrected by chiropractic adjustment. Not getting your child checked following an auto injury can result in a lifetime of health problems and learning difficulties.
BUT MY PEDIATRICIAN SAID OUR CHILD WAS FINE!
Most Pediatricians have little experience detecting or treating auto injuries or the subluxations that can result from trauma. Subluxations are misalignments in the spine that impinge nerves and compromise the function of the nervous system and cause a myriad of health problems.
Your car insurance covers up to 10,000 in medical treatment for injuries to yourself and your child each.

The chiropractic profession is over 100 years old. It was “discovered” when a maintenance man, Harvey Lillard, who had fallen and gone deaf as a result, noticed that a bone in his spine was also noticeably out of place since the injury. D.D. Palmer, a magnetic healer at the time, was able to put the bone back in place and Harvey Lillard’s hearing was restored. Likewise, our patients in Downtown Miami and Brickell who are looking for holistic health care usually experience many health benefits beyond pain relief...
