A Chiro Kid is a child that receives a chiropractic adjustment to allow his or her body to be as healthy as it can be.
"The birth process, even under normal and controlled conditions, is potentially traumatic," according to Abraham Towbin, MD.(1) Current research suggests that over 80% of all children may be subluxated at birth.(2) It has also been reported that before the age of three years of age your child will fall over 3,000 times. Within a two-week time period, permanent injury may occur due to the poor healing, caused by nerve interference, decreased blood flow and misaligned bone.
An adjustment corrects the subluxation allowing your child's nervous system to function closer to 100%, at every waking and sleeping moment.
Chiro Kids that get adjustment on a regular basis as needed are reported as being sick less often and less severely. They are less prone to infectious processes like Otitis Media (ear infection) and tonsilitis and had fewer allergies. They also had a decreased history of antibiotic use indicating a lower susceptibility to bacterial infections as a result of greater immune response.(3) These Chiro Kids also miss less days of school. They also have fewer emotional, learning, and neurological difficulties associated with childhood.
