Children Need Care Too...

I came across some very interesting research articles (which I have included for your reading) which explain why it is important for your children to get adjusted.  I'm a firm believer children, including infants, need care more than adults.

Why?  We are aware of what we do to our bodies.  We make the decisions that lead us to dis-ease.  As parents we have an obligation to raise our children, giving them support and making decisions for them until they can make their own.

Below I have included some facts coming from the research.  Please feel free to leave comments, or contact me for more information.  My goal is to give you enough information to help you make an informed decision.  Regardless if I ever see you in my office, I hope this will make you start thinking.  Everyone is unique making every case unique, give us a call if you would like to discuss more about keeping your children healthy.

According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, antibiotics and vaccines are the medicines that most often cause adverse reactions in children.

• the leading problem was from Amoxicillin and "general" vaccines

Asthma accounts for more childhood hospitalizations than any other childhood disease.  Nearly all suffering from asthma are under the age of 18.

• strong links are noted between people who suffer from asthma and nerve interference from subluxations

Chiropractic care is thought to prevent infractions by correcting misalignments and allowing normal fluid drainage from the middle ear.  In one study, 80% of the children who received chiropractic care were free of infections 6 months following care.

I have also included some information about vaccines and medication errors within the United States.

The number of compulsory vaccines has increased from 10 to 36 in the past quarter-century.  Attention Deficit Disorder has doubled in the past 25 years, while Autism has increased by as much as an incredible 500% across United States in the past 10 years.

If you choose to vaccinate your children, ask for mercury-free versions.  Most vaccines now have a mercury-free version.  Avoid "triple-threat" vaccines if possible.  Vaccines such as the MMR have been linked to autoimmune disease, insulin-dependent diabetes, asthma, MS, Crohn's, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Why Children Must Get Adjusted (PART I)

Today chiropractic is the #1 choice in alternative healthcare. Chiropractic is very effective and completely safe for ALL ages.  At Wasinger Chiropractic & Acupuncture, LLC we are trained to treat your entire family; whether it's the newest addition to your family of only a couple hours old or the great-grandfather waiting to hear if it's a girl or boy.

Some of you may not understand or realize why your child needs to be adjusted.  As a child devlops it is estimated by age 5 a child falls over 2,00 times.  If this doesn't get your attention, I will soon explain why thesefalls, evein if minor, can be significant.

I have acquired several small articles (which will be uploaded and explained thorughout this next week) explaing how chiropractic can help even your newest addition to yhe family when other professions state, "he/she will evenetally grow out of it."

PART I
Children Suffering from "Nocturnal Enuresis" aka Bed-Wetting...
Most chilren wet the bed for the first few years of life, but by the age of 5 most children should be able to establish proper bladder control.  There are actually two types of enuresis:

• Primary Enuresis - Occurs in a child over 5 years of age, who has never been able to establish proper control
• Secondary Enuresis - Occurs in a child who has been able to establish proprer bladder control, but who has since lapsed back to wetting the bed.

Unfortunately outside treatment is not often sought for a child wetting the bed. The nerves, which control the bladder, originate in the lower back and sacrum (tailbone).  As a child, the sacrum consists of five separate segments (they begin to fuse around puberty) that move similar to the rest of the spine.  If you remember it is estimated a child falls over 2000 times by age 5.  These falls can lead to misalignments.

          Misalignments --> Nerve Irritation --> Impaired Function To The Body

It has been shown some patients suffering from bed-wetting ceases after the spine is adjusted.  While bed-wetting may not be due to misalignments in your child, it would be advantageous for you to have your child be evaluated for the possibility of spinal problems (misalignments) if he/she is suffering from nocturnal enuresis.

In one specific study, 171 children suffering with enuresis averaged 7 nights of bed-wetting per week prior to the study.  After the children were given some initial chiropractic care the average child reduced the number of "wet" nights to 4 nights per week.  After the study concluded 15% of the children were considered "dry"!
