Parents who often appreciate the importance of checkups for their child's teeth, hearing, eyes, ears, nose, and throat draw a blank when it comes to the spine.

| Spinal Checkup |
|
A spinal checkup is the most important of your child's life! Why? The jumping, falling , running and bumping of a normal childhood often cause vertebral subluxations, with serious health consequences if uncorrected. I addition, the birth process puts tremendous stress on the newborn's spine that could lead to many health problems.

Dramatic Responses After
Drugs And Surgery Had No Effect |
For over a century doctors of chiropractic have reported dramatic responses of infants and children under chiropractic care, often after drugs and surgery had no effect.
Today we find more parents bringing their children to doctors of chiropractic for spinal checkups. Without chiropractic care some children will live in continued sickness, condemned to a life of medications and perhaps even surgery. With a healthy spinal column, a child’s body can better deal with the sore throats, ear infections, stomachaches, fevers, measles, mumps and the hundred-and-one other problems that often make up young life.

| Emotionally Healthy Children |
Clinicians and parents have observed often dramatic improvements in the physical, neurological and emotional heath of children following chiropractic spinal care. This includes children with learning disabilities, anxiety, concentration and attention problems, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder (ADD), dyslexia, discipline problems, low IQ and low grades.
For many of the millions of school children in the United States who suffer from a learning impairment, chiropractic holds promise as a non-drug alternative. All children with learning disabilities and similar problems need a chiropractic spinal checkup.

| Ear Infections |
By the age of three, over two-thirds of all children have had one or more ear infections. There are numerous problems with antibiotic usage for children with ear infections such as allergic reactions, GI upset, antibiotic resistance and destruction of the gut's intestinal flora leading to yeast proliferation. Tubes in the ears are mostly antibiotic/medical failures with infections returning within two months and the tubes can cause hearing loss years later.
Children with ear infections need chiropractic adjustments. In many cases ear infections are observed to disappear after spinal care, saving children from ear-tube surgery and antibiotics.

| Some Common Examples |
|
A common example is that of 2 and 4-year-old sisters with chronic ear infections who had received numerous courses of antibiotics over at least two years with no improvement. After adjustments the mother reported 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 has scheduled for ear tubes. His ear infection completely cleared after one adjustment and tubes were never inserted. Also, two girls aged 3 and 4 with chronic ear infections and upper respiratory dysfunction received adjustments and no more ear infections occurred since their first visit.
