Ear Infections Clinically, ear infections are one of the most common presenting complaints in children. Fortunately, chiropractic has proven effective in helping with ear infec- tions. Examples include: 2 and 4-year old sisters with chronic ear infections who had received numerous courses of antibiotics over at least two years with no improve- ment. After adjustments, the mother re- ported that both children were “doing much better” and the children had no more ear infections. Other case studies include: a baby boy 6-months-old who was scheduled for ear tubes. His ear infec- tion completely cleared after one adjust- ment and tubes were never inserted. Also, two girls ages 3 and 4 with chronic ear infections and upper respiratory dysfunc- tion received adjustments and no more ear infections occurred since their first visit.


Attitude, Sleep, Immunity Preliminary results from a study by the


ICPA show that chiropractic care is safe for children. Even more significant is that parents reported three unexpected im- provements with their child's care: 1) improved sleep, 2) improved behavior and attitude, and 3) improved immune system function.


Scoliosis Scoliosis predominantly affects pre-


pubescent children during adolescent development of the spine and its proper curvature. As children begin to experience growth spurts, the spine is driven out of alignment via translation of discs. Because the body is growing at such a rapid pace, these translations become cemented, set- ting the tone for long-term spinal dysfunc- tion. The good news is that scoliosis is common and well understood. There are numerous treatment options available, including bracing, which serve to correct scoliosis before it can fully set in a devel- oping child. Today, chiropractic is also highly recognized as a non-invasive, cor- rective approach to scoliosis.


ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Anxi- ety


Clinicians and parents have observed


often dramatic improvements in the physical, neurological and emotional health of children following chiropractic spinal care. This includes children with learning disabilities, anxiety, concentra- tion and attention problems, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder (ADD), dyslexia, discipline problems, low IQ and low grades.

Is Chiropractic care safe? Chiropractic treats over 35 million


(adults and children) in the United States alone. A growing list of research studies and reviews demonstrate that the services provided by chiropractors are clinically effective, safe and cost effective. Chiro- practic treatments for children are gentle and not aggressive. Treatments may involve a gentle hands-on approach, an adjust- ment instrument, or a combination. Chil- dren respond best when comfortable in the office and with the doctor. Having the parents in the treatment room and active in the child’s care is important. To keep this article brief, please visit the Interna- tional Chiropractic Association, Interna- tional Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and the American Chiropractic Association websites to read the research into the ef- ficacy and effectiveness of chiropractic. Your local chiropractor should be more than willing to sit down with you and ad- dress any concerns you may have in re- gards to care for your child.


When should my child be evaluated? Have your child’s spine checked by a


chiropractor before symptoms present themselves. An evaluation through health history, a physical exam, and spinal xrays (only if necessary) is a great place to begin. Any age can be evaluated. Pediatric trained chiropractors can thoroughly evaluate a new born infant, especially after concerns of traumatic birth. Having your child’s spine checked by a chiroprac- tor does not mean that they need a treat- ment. Recommended number of visits and frequency vary based on the desired out- come.


Maintaining spinal health should be


on your family’s health priority list. Check- ing in on the system that controls the body is a good thing to do for all ages.


We are proud to offer the


19 channel LORETA brain training, which is able to target more precise regions in the brain than traditional surface neurofeedback. This method is so superior that it is currently being used by the US Army at 2 of its


Wounded Warrior clinics to treat head injury and PTSD.
