Asthma
Asthma is the #1 cause of hospitalization in children. Chiropractic care can help prevent and reduce asthma related issues without medication.

Ear Infections
Non-drug alternative, doctors of chiropractic correct vertebral misalignment with safe and gentle maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments. Researchers state the spinal adjustments resulted in fewer episodes of otitis media (ear infections) and fewer surgical procedures compared to children who received usual care. In a study of 46 children, all under the age of 5, 93% recovered with chiropractic intervention alone. Chiropractors believe the blockage of the Eustachian tube occurs when a tiny muscle called tensor veli palatini dysfunctions. Vertebral misalignment’s interfere with the nerve flow to the muscle. The dysfunction is cause by impingement of the nerve that comes from the spinal cord. Correcting the misalignment allows for proper nerve flow to the muscle and allows the Eustachian tube to drain properly. Click here to see the study.
ADHD
Today an increasing amount of ADHD kids are receiving additional mediations, such as anti-anxiety and anti-depressants, which can be extremely dangerous to combine. Chiropractors work directly with the nervous system and the alignment of vertebra around it. A recent study on the positive changes with ADHD with chiropractic care showed behavior improvement, decrease in temper tantrums, enhanced speech quality and better short-term memory and best of all increased attention duration.
