Most people don't understand why children of all ages would see a Chiropractor. The standard comment is, "My child doesn't have a back problem." While that may be true, all children have spines which protect their nervous systems. And this nervous system controls every cell and organ in their bodies. So if there is even the slightest interference with this very important system, it can result in a child experiencing headaches, earaches, asthma, bedwetting, and "growing pains" just to name a few. The list is endless.
If you place a dime in the palm of your hand, the weight of that dime can reduce the function of a nerve by over 50%. Now, imagine the weight of a vertebra that has moved onto a nerve that is going to a child's lungs. If that nerve is functioning at less than 50%, it could be the reason why that child is experiencing difficulty breathing or even having symptoms of asthma.
It is our wish that parents realize they do have a choice when it comes to their children's health. We live in a society that constantly advertises the use of medication to treat symptoms. On top of this, most parents get their information from their pediatrician who has no knowledge of the science behind chiropractic. Therefore, parents never have the opportunity to gather all of the information regarding their child's health and/or health challenge and make the only choice available to them which is to give their child medication and live with the symptoms. We have made different choices for our children because we had the opportunity to learn about the power of the body to heal from the inside out without the use of drugs. We want you to know it IS POSSIBLE to not give your child over-the-counter drugs or even prescription drugs. Even if they have been diagnosed with some ailment. We know this is true because we are living proof as are hundreds of other families who see chiropractors.
I've seen the body heal itself over and over, regardless of the age or condition of the individual. The choice in our house is truly to "just say NO!" We would be honored to give you more information so you too can make an educated choice. If you would like to come to our free, but priceless, Wednesday Night class to get some very valuable information and have your questions answered, please call our office at (619) 294-9342 and we will be happy to help you.
