Over the past several decades, a host of empirical studies have demonstrated the benefits of cranial and spinal chiropractic adjustments for infants and children.

These adjustments are painless to the infant and provide immediate benefits, even to infants who may appear perfectly healthy. Reflex actions such as sucking, swallowing and elimination are improved. Overall sleeping is also improved. Colic may be prevented.

Additional studies have shown the reduction and/or elimination of ear infections, strep throat, bronchitis, and asthma. Recovery from injuries is also more rapid.

Experts in this field recommend infants be checked as soon as possible after birth as possible to treat birth trauma and/or intrauterine constraint. Pediatric chiropactors are trained to do this. Dr. Nunno checked her own children within hours of their birth.

Additional research shows chiropractic treatment for childen prevents not only scoliosis, but also knee, foot and hip problems, especially during the teen years.

Other studies indicate that children with learning, speech or behavior problems have improved thhrough the use of chiropractic adjustments. Not only is this a simpler, more practical method than complicated medical intervention, but there is also less cost associated with it!
