Why does chiropractic help so many people in so many ways? Because it is not for conditions or diseases but for the whole body. When the body functions closer to optimum, self-healing is maximized. Chiropractors remove interference to body function by correcting subluxations so the body can function closer to its optimal potential.
Otitis Media (Ear Infection)
A nine-month-old boy with a history of recurring ear infections was presented by his mother for chiropractic care. The child had antibiotic therapy and the MDs were suggesting ear surgery and tubes.
Chiropractic care was actually initiated during an episode of otitis media. Cranial adjusting and sinus work along with vertebral subluxation correction was utilized and within one week both ears were reported clear. No ear infections have been reported since and the child is no longer on antibiotics
and will not have surgery. (1)
Autism
A 6-year-old boy was brought to the chiropractor's office with reduced social interaction, altered behavioral patterns, language deficits and learning difficulties. He was diagnosed with autism by a neurologist. The child was fully vaccinated.
Chiropractic analysis determined the presence of vertebral subluxations in the child. Chiropractic adjustments along with dietary and supplementation recommendations were advised. Over the 16-week period improvements in learning abilities, social interactions, language skills and behavioral patterns were noted. (2)
Bipolar, Seizure, Sleep Disorders and Migraine Headaches
A 23-year-
old man was suffering from bipolar disorder, sleep disorder, seizures, migraine headaches, and neck and back pain following a head-first fall at age 17 while pole vaulting. Evidence of an upper cervical (neck) subluxation was found and corrected with chiropractic adjustments. All of the patient's conditions had completely resolved by the seventh month of care and remained absent at the conclusion of care at 18 months. (3)
