Our kida are enjoying these sports and activities in ever increasing numbers. They're great fuis and good for physical development. They teach cooperative effort and tht sense Of belonging to a productive group, while keeping kids occupied and ont of mitchief. But do they have their DOWN side (pun intended). What parent of an active kid hasn't wiissessed their child take a serions fall or joit resnlting in a bruise, sprain or even a fracture of a bone? Doesn't il make sense that a joi serions enough to sprain or sep- arate a shonider could also ctise whiplash to thse neck? lsn't lit possible that a falI on tIse bntt or a siani against tIse buards of a hockey rink conld jolt the lower back or - pelvi ont of aliga ment?

That is a condition call VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION.

In other words, your current high blood pressure, stomach ulcer, shortnets of breath, balance probleni, etc., conld be tht long term result of a joît or strain that yon snffered as a child or teenager and have long forgotten.
