By age 3, two-thirds of all children will have suffered from at least one ear infection. Next to the common cold, a childhood ear infection is the most commonly diagnosed condition in the United States. Antibiotics are usually the preferred remedy for healing, but a lot of the time, prescriptions are written without a certainty that an ear infection even exists. This precautionary treatment has raised a growing cause for concern.

Do you know what you are really giving to your child?

Though it may feel natural to relieve your child’s ear infection pain with an antibiotic, you may be giving them something more harmful then helpful. Antibiotic therapy is extremely serious and may be life threatening if an allergic reaction occurs. Blatant misuse of antibiotic prescriptions have allowed for “super-strains” of bacteria to develop. These “super-strains” often times become resilient to antibiotic treatment. The strains are making it more and more difficult for advanced surgical procedures to be performed. If medicine does not have an effective antibiotic, then bacteria will not allow any life-changing surgery to occur. (more…)

One of the most common concerns that we hear in the office are from mothers who are wanting to bring their children in for chiropractic adjustments but are being told by someone else not to have their child adjusted. Many times the mother is trying to solve the puzzle of their child’s health problems and/or excessive medications. They are looking for safe, natural approaches to a growing problem of ADHD, Ear Infection, Autism, Asthma, Allergies and similar ailments.

It is quite understandable how a father would think chiropractic adjustments could not possibly help their child with any of the problems mentioned above. It is a well know fact that only nine percent of Americans actually use chiropractic. Out of that nine percent, there are many that are not even sure how it works and are only there for pain relief or to help with a headache because it has helped them before or someone they know.

If you have been suffering with headaches then you are not alone. Presently headaches are the #1 rated health complaint in America, surpassing even the common cold. There are an estimated 50 million chronic headache sufferers in the United States this year.

Every year, headaches roughly generate 80 million visits to the doctor’s office, 157 million lost workdays, over 50 billion dollars in medical bills, and over four billion dollars in over-the-counter medications. (more…)

Today’s world is changing. Pregnancy has slowly been converted into a sickness that requires medical intervention and surgical treatment. Women have blindly accepted this propaganda and many are now opting for Cesarean birth instead of natural childbirth.

The Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington, D.C. has estimated that half of the nearly 1 million Cesareans performed every year are medically unnecessary. That means that 500,000 women per year are having severe medically unnecessary surgery! (more…)

The word “chiropractor” is a familiar one but not everyone understands what a Chiropractor does or how their treatments benefit others. Who are Chiropractors? How are they helpful to the people who seek their treatment? What kind of treatment do Chiropractors offer to their patients? Read this article to find out!

A Chiropractor is a medical professional who focuses on the treating and diagnosing of illnesses and injuries that could be related to the spinal system and a person’s joints. Chiropractors treat people via a “hands on” therapeutic approach to help patients work through their injuries and reduce a person’s pain. Chiropractors treat their patients by moving and manipulating a person’s spinal column, joints and the muscles associated with them.

If you live in the United Kingdom and you want to be a Chiropractor, you must first get your degree in Chiropractics from one of the four accredited educational institutions in the country. Your coursework must either be a four year degree or take thirty six hours to complete. Once you have completed your coursework you will apply to the British Chiropractic Association and/or the McTimoney Chiropractic Association. Both associations require Chiropractors to complete an extra year of supervised field experience before their licenses are finalized and they are allowed to practice professionally.
