The Failing Health of Our Children

Despite technological advances and proper hygiene, today’s children are suffering from an escalating host of infections, degenerative and immune/autoimmune disorders. For example, preschool children in the last decade have had recurrent ear infections at more than 50% higher. Today’s children experience the highest incidence of asthma in the history of mankind. It is not normal for child after child to be taking prescription drugs just to be able to breathe.

Causes of Poor Health

This downward health trend can be attributed to the increasing levels of physical and mental/emotional stress as well as improper nutrition. Stress creates abnormal nerve function, which creates altered function of our organs and systems, especially the immune system.

Because life is experienced and expressed through the nervous system, it is paramount that it functions at an optimal level. Our children should have an optimal chance to express health, love and enjoyment of life through an optimal functioning body.

Chiropractic Role

In modern medicine, children are already in a state of disease when symptoms develop and they seek help. This reactive type of health care will never be able to increase the overall health of our children; it will only fight crises. What we need now is a more proactive approach to health. Spinal and nerve system checks by a Chiropractor is a needed part of health care for all people, especially children.

How It Works

Ten years ago in the scientific world, it was widely accepted that the immune system acted independently. Now we know that the nervous system plays a large role in controlling the immune system.
