Children that receive chiropractic adjustments get sick
less often.
200 pediatricians and 200 chiropractors were surveyed to
determine differences
found in the health status of their respective children
raised under the different health care models.
The 'chiropractic' children showed a 69% otitis media (ear
infection) free
response, while the 'medical' children only had a 20% otitis
media free response.

New research indicates chiropractic could be beneficial
for some individuals suffering from either allergies or
Crohn's Disease. According to Japanese researcher
Dr. Yasuhiko Takeda, president of the Information and Blood
Circulation Research Institute in Osaka, disorders of the
mid-to-lower back could have a significant effect on the
immune function of certain allergy and Crohn`s disease
patients.

Chiropractic adjustments are often beneficial for
hyperactivity. In a study done by J. Martin Giesen
PHD., David B Center, PHD., and Robert A. Leach, DC., it was
stated that,"…the majority of the children in this study
did, in fact, improve under specific chiropractic care. The
results… suggest that chiropractic manipulation has the
potential to become an important non-drug intervention for
children with hyperactivity".

Can SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) be prevented?
A new book offers compelling theories that connect many
unexplained infant deaths to brain stem malfunction caused
by vertebral subluxation, or spinal misalignment. Each
year, approximately 3,000 children die of SIDS...which is
more than than all children who die of cancer, heart
disease, pneumonia, child abuse, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and
muscular dystrophy combined. The brain stem is the
control center for respiration and cardiac function and
there are in excess of 100 medical research papers pointing
to brain stem abnormalities as the cause of SIDS. When
the top vertebrae (called the atlas) subluxates, the brain
stem malfunctions, causing the infant to stop breathing and
die. The authors suggest that chiropractors
should examine and correct the spines of infants to increase
their health potential and decrease their risk of SIDS.

Childhood Asthma improved with chiropractic treatments.
In a clinic study of 47 children with medically-diagnosed
asthma, 100% showed "a marked improvement ranging from 87 to
100 percent." Another study published in the Journal
of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics showed that
manual therapy (aka chiropractic adjustment) increased
respiratory function.

care has helped my little girl. With all the
relief and joy we have experienced through this
