When Children Fall It Affects Their Pelvic Stability and Pelvic Instability Affects Their Health and Well-Being
Common Subluxation Pattern Identified in 96% of Children
A new study examines a subluxation pattern common in children called the Pelvic Distortion Subluxation Complex (PDSC). The study’s researchers believe that “PDSC is responsible, partially, or fully, for a number of adaptive neurological patterns and kinesiopathological reflexes that can propagate a myriad of conditions”.
To test their hypothesis, 6 chiropractors with pediatric certification from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association examined 327 boys and girls.
The study’s authors explain that “the preponderance of PDSC is to present with a left pelvic fixation and a corresponding right hypermobility. We have found that 96% of all children seem to possess, and be subjected to the effects of the Pelvic Distortion Subluxation Complex. The PDSC was a common denominator in complaints plaguing our sample of children. These…complaints of children in our study are mainly of a somatic nature with some visceral and immune components.
“Our study revealed a pattern of pelvic dysfunction correlated with numerous somatic, visceral and immune complaints. These dysfunctions should be discovered as early as possible in a child’s development to effect a correction and the relationship between these dysfunctions and ill health should be further studied.”

Many times parents are told that their child has “growing pains”. It doesn’t hurt to grow, and is usually referred pain from the PDSC. So, if you know a child with “growing pains”, please let them know that chiropractic can help.
