Chiropractic and Kids
In a study to determine if there were differences between children under
chiropractic care and those not, significant findings were reported.
In fact, this study showed that “children raised under chiropractic care
are less prone to infectious processes such as otitis media and
tonsillitis, and that their immune system's are better able to cope with
allergens, such as pollen, weeds, grasses, etc. compared to children
raised under allopathic care. There is also a significant decreased
history of antibiotic use among the “chiropractic” children, indicating
a lower susceptibility to bacterial infections, as a result of their
greater immune system response. “
