Alternative care for kids becoming more popular

 

Have you ever taken your children to an alternative care provider, such as a chiropractor or a acupuntureist?  According to data analyzed by Dr. Michael Aldous from the University of Arizona nearly one quarter (22%) of 1,501 parents surveyed used some form of alternative care for their children.  Of these parents who took their children to alternative providers, 86% were satisfied with the results and considered it to be helpful and 90% said they would be willing to use alternative measures for their children in the future.  

 

What is most interesting about this study was the fact that nearly one-third of the

Parents did not tell their medical doctor about the alternative care.  I find this upsetting.

As a alternative /  complimentary care provider I feel the medical profession should know

that children are getting healthier under our care.  Most parents seem to be afraid of a

negative reaction from their doctor.  I often find this to be quit the contrary.  Many

doctors have had positve things to say about alternative / complimentary care and I feel

this will be the case more so if parents tell them about the positive results they have

experienced.

 

In our chiropractic office, we love to take care of children from little tiny infants up

Through teenage athletes.  We have found that children under regular chiropractic care

From a young age will in a sense grow up straighter with less likely hood of spinal

problems when they become adults.  In addition they grow up much healthier with

stonger immune systems, less sickness, less allergies, less behavioral problems in school,

they are often advanced in sports, and many other benefits. 

 

I recommend that if you have not tried alternative measures for your children, even if

they appear healthy, get them checked by a chiropractor, or take them to an osteopath,

homeopath or acupunturist for an evaluation to determine if there is any underlying

unseen problem that can be fixed without medications or sugery!!!
