Obviously you don’t want the curvature to progress to the point that internal organs are affected, or even to the point that your child’s posture is noticeably skewed. Scoliosis surgery (http://www.choosenatural.com/%5b#103358%23]) is often prescribed, but is it right for your child? We believe surgery is never the best alternative. By using protocols established by CLEAR institute and/or Spine Corp we have been able to successfully treat the condition of scoliosis through non-invasive means.

Per-Olof Eriksson, Hamayun Zafar, Birgitta Haggman-Henrikson FROM ABSTRACT Recent findings of simultaneous and well coordinated head–neck movements during single as well as rhythmic jaw opening–closing tasks has led to the conclusion that “functional jaw movements” are the result of activation of jaw as well as neck muscles, leading to simultaneous movements in the temporomandibular, atlantooccipital and cervical spine joints. It can therefore be assumed that disease or injury to any of these joint systems would disturb natural jaw function.

Fletcher, MD, MSc; Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH These authors are from Harvard’s Medical School FROM ABSTRACT Vitamin deficiency syndromes such as scurvy and beriberi are uncommon in Western societies. However, suboptimal intake of some vitamins, above levels causing classic vitamin deficiency, is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population, especially the elderly. Suboptimal folic acid levels, along with suboptimal levels of vitamins B6 and B12, are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, neural tube defects, and colon and breast cancer; low levels of vitamin D contribute to osteopenia and fractures; and low levels of the antioxidant vitamins (vitamins A, E, and C) may increase risk for several chronic diseases.

FROM ABSTRACT Background: Mothers selectively transfer docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to their fetuses to support optimal neurological development during pregnancy. Without sufficient dietary intake, mothers become depleted of DHA and may increase their risk of suffering major depressive symptoms in the postpartum period.

A seven-year-old girl with cerebellar ataxia of the right cerebellum was placed under chiropractic care. Cerebellar ataxia is a disorder that results in balance and coordination problems. Subluxations in the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and pelvic region were corrected. Within 4 visits there was marked improvement in walking and resolution of the ataxia. Disorders such as ADHD, pervasive developmental disorder, Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders are believed to have their root in abnormal spinal development. (4) Ear infection and hearing. A three-year-old girl had bilateral ear pain, ear infections and hearing loss after three unsuccessful implantations of ear (tympanostomy) tubes and multiple medications. The child was given chiropractic care where upper cervical vertebral subluxations were located and corrected. The patient reported an increase in hearing and the child's mother reported the child had less ear pain, was less irritable and had better speech after the initiation of chiropractic. Medical audiology reports documented speech and hearing improvements after the implementation of chiropractic care. (1) Pubic pain in pregnancy.

It causes more time lost from school than any other pediatric disorder. Asthma was almost never a fatal disease, but now it’s attributed to up to 5,000 deaths a year. Childhood vaccination is increasingly implicated as the reason asthma is increasing. (1) For over a hundred years sufferers of all types of respiratory conditions have sung the praises of chiropractic care. Typical among case histories is that of a 6-year-old girl with three years of uncontrolled asthma. She was on several different drugs daily. In 30 days of chiropractic care she was off all medications, and upon subsequent visits to the pediatrician she demonstrated a marked increase in lung volume. (2) A study involving 385 chiropractors in seven countries found significant improvement in those patients with asthma and other diseases. The longer the patients stayed...
