Chiropractic care for the entire family
Chiropractic for infants? They have low back pain? Hardly – yet infants need chiropractic care to ensure that the stress of labor and delivery hasn’t damaged their spine and delicate structural system. Other stresses can involve falls – statistics tell us that nearly half of all babies have had a fall from a height (off the changing table, off the bed, etc.). Chiropractic care will help ensure a healthy baby. Also, correcting subluxations may help a baby who is ill return to health quicker and more comfortably.
How do children benefit from chiropractic care? Childhood is a rough time, full of falls, trips and stumbles. Chiropractic helps keep children naturally healthy. Just like babies and infants every child needs periodic chiropractic checkups.
Chiropractic care, by releasing stress from the brain and nervous system, may improve concentration, attention span, grades and interpersonal behavior. Chiropractic has been shown to increase IQ, to help coordination and self-esteem and to improve body function. No matter what health problem a child may have, chiropractic will help improve their chances of healing naturally.
How do adults benefit from chiropractic care? Physical, emotional and chemical stresses accumulate as we age. For more energy and for improved function of the immune system, digestive system, eliminative system, cardiovascular system and other systems your body needs unobstructed communications. Chiropractic care removes obstructions caused by subluxations - structural distortions that interfere with internal (nerve) communication.
How does chiropractic help women? The pelvic area receives an intense amount of nerve communications. The ovaries, uterus, tubes, kidneys, adrenal glands and other internal organs all need a healthy nerve supply to function properly. Clinical studies show chiropractic helps women with menstrual pain and discomfort, menstrual irregularities, sexual function and fertility. How does chiropractic help pregnancy and post-pregnancy? If there’s any class of patients that need chiropractic care the most its pregnant women. Pregnancy changes a woman’s balance and can make distortions more severe which can cause pain and exhaustion. Chiropractic can help ensure that body structure is balanced and that the pelvis is relaxed and open so the developing baby has the maximum amount of room in which to develop. Clinical research reveals that breech presentations have been corrected with the fetus turning into a healthy position as a result of chiropractic pelvic-balancing procedures. Clinical reports show chiropractic helping with breastfeeding and the return to a pre-pregnancy figure.
Many top athletes from all over the world rely on chiropractic to keep their body structure balanced, their nerve system healthy and their muscles functioning at their peak. Chiropractic can prevent sports injuries but can also help an injured player return to the game or competition faster. Of course you don’t need to be an Olympian to go to a chiropractor; anyone who uses his/her body needs it to function at its peak.
How do the elderly benefit from chiropractic care?
In conclusion, infants, the elderly and everyone in between all need a healthy structural system, free from subluxations and nerve stress. Chiropractors are specially trained in locating and correcting subluxations, which is necessary for a long, healthy, happy life. Is your “organic” product toxic?
www.cosmeticsdatabase.com is a great database to look up products that you use on yourself to see if it is toxic or not...makeup, shampoo, conditioners, sunscreen, etc. It's actually incredible!

Chiropractic and Spinal Research
Autism. A 2½-year-old girl was diagnosed with autism (reduced social interaction and language skills and learning difficulties). One year later she was brought in for chiropractic care. Both the chiropractor and the parents noticed improvements in social interactions, language skills and increased symmetry in surface EMG and thermal scanning over the 10 weeks of care. (2)
The importance of parentsA 36-year study that followed approximately 1,000 individuals revealed: Having a warm and affectionate father or mother was significantly associated with adult social accomplishment: having a long, happy marriage, children, and relationships with close friends at midlife…more socially accomplished…work accomplishment, psychological well-being….(3) As parents we have tremendous power over our children. I know we know that, but it’s important to be reminded of it often (very often). Life distractions should never distract us from that understanding. Words of wisdom Voltaire quotes: I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
The art of government is to make two-thirds of a nation pay all it possibly can pay for the benefit of the other third.
The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream that this watch exists and has no watchmaker.
The best way to become boring is to say everything. Humor

How do infants benefit from chiropractic care? 
How do students benefit from chiropractic care? 
How does chiropractic help sports performance? 
The elderly are among our most drugged citizens. It is not unusual for someone to be taking many different medications and suffering from serious reactions to them. Many times people are taking drugs that interact in ways that are more damaging than if they took them individually. Chiropractic offers a drug-free alternative to an over-drugged population.
Scoliosis. A nine-year-old boy with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (and intermittent back pain) began chiropractic care. His posture began to balance immediately after the first adjustment. He had an 88% overall reduction in the scoliosis after five months of chiropractic care. (1)
