Dr. Abrams Asks some important questions of interest to Seattle residents - Chiropractor Seattle Dr. Abrams Asks...

What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Seattle chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Seattle adults.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Seattle chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
