What are the benefits of pediatric spinal manipulation?

Compared with medicine, mothers are more keen to use massage to treat their babies' diseases because it is a new green treatment method with many benefits. For example, spinal massage can help babies with poor gastrointestinal function recover slowly and no longer suffer from symptoms such as indigestion frequently; for babies with recurrent colds, the fever and cough symptoms will be eliminated after a period of persistence.

1. What are the benefits of pediatric spinal massage?

1. Gastrointestinal diseases: Children with weak spleen and stomach, and who do not know when they are hungry or full, eat too much high-energy food, such as fried food, sweet and greasy food, and high-protein food. These foods cannot be fully digested and absorbed, which can affect the spleen and stomach functions, causing stagnation and anorexia. Indigestion can also cause diarrhea. Other infectious diarrhea can lead to spleen and stomach weakness. These spleen and stomach diseases can be treated with spinal massage therapy.

2. Pediatric spinal massage therapy is very suitable for treating chronic diseases such as malnutrition, indigestion, anorexia, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, constipation caused by weak spleen and stomach in children, or chronic cough and asthma remission caused by lung qi deficiency.

3. Children with lung diseases suffer from repeated colds and coughs, which Western medicine calls low immune function, while Chinese medicine believes is caused by weak children’s external defense function and imbalance of yin and yang. Pinching the spine can harmonize yin and yang, strengthen the spleen and regulate the lungs by stimulating the Du meridian and the bladder meridian, thereby improving immunity and reducing respiratory infections.

4. For healthy children, pinching the spine can also improve their intelligence. Pinching the spine can make the functions of the child's internal organs become more perfect more quickly, and indirectly achieve the effect of increasing intelligence by improving the function of their internal organs and strengthening the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body.

2. What are the precautions for pediatric spinal massage?

1. It is best to pinch the spine after the baby wakes up in the morning or before going to bed at night. The effect is better and the baby's cooperation is also higher. Before pinching the spine, you should first take off the baby's clothes to expose the entire back, let the baby keep a flat position, and strive to make the back flat and straight, with muscles relaxed.

2. The room temperature should be moderate when pinching the spine, and the nails of the person pinching the spine should be trimmed smooth to avoid scratching the baby's delicate skin. The person who is doing the spinal massage should warm up their hands first. Do not use cold hands to massage the baby's spine, so as to avoid irritating the baby and making him unable to lie flat, or causing the baby to get cold and become sick. The technique of pinching the spine should be gentle and agile, with equal force and speed, and it is best not to stop in the middle of pinching the spine.

3. The time for pinching the spine each time should not be too long, 3-5 minutes is appropriate, so as to avoid the baby's body being exposed for too long and causing cold. The technique should be light at the beginning and then gradually increase in strength to allow the child to adapt slowly. Pinch and twist, don't twist. When twisting and pushing forward, move straight forward and not tilt.

What are the benefits of pediatric spinal massage? That’s all for the introduction. As children grow up, they should never play with mobile phones while lying on the bed. This is not only bad for their eyesight, but also adds burden to the spine, so parents must not let their babies play like this. When a child's spine is developing, if the posture is improper, it will cause the baby to have a hunchback, so parents must pay attention to it.
