Research from 25 years ago had significant findings of subluxations in children:

Children
are generally extremely active and their bodies absorb stress during movement.
A child may fall, be pushed or jolted, twist or turn, outside the normal range
of motion. These forceful activities can produce vertebral subluxations disturb
the normal nerve reflex pathways, causing what is termed traditionally in
chiropractic as “nerve interference”. Too little attention is paid to tramatic
incidents which fixate or decrease normal movement of spinal segments, causing
the typical hypomobile subluxation or creating excessive spinal joint play with
the resulting hypermobile subluxation. It is important here to note that some
authorities feel that this trauma need only be “MICRO” (minor, ie., slips and
falls, bad posture) trauma, as distinct from”MACRO” (major, ie., car accidents,
falls down the stairs, off beds and changing tables) trauma.
