This weekend we celebrate our children under chiropractic care with our annual Kid’s Practice Member Appreciation Day held at Krazy Kids indoor party center. We love how healthy and alive our chiropractic kids are, and there is no better place to run, jump, slide and bounce during a cold snap in March than Krazy Kids.
In the spirit of celebrating pediatric wellness through chiropractic care, I want to share a research article with it. It chronicles wellness chiropractic care given to correct subluxations in a 9 year old girl medically diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism experiencing hypoglycemic episodes and sleep disturbance. She was evaluated by a chiropractor who located and corrected several areas of vertebral subluxation using specific, high velocity and low amplitude chiropractic adjustments on a frequent basis, much like our corrective care schedule here at Crossroads. After a total of 52 adjustments her re-evaulation showed improvements in her posture findings, palpation findings and overall wellbeing. The patient’s mother reported an improvement in quality of sleep, behavior, and stabilization of glucose levels. The mother also reported that her daughter used a decreased amount of insulin on a daily basis compared to prior to starting chiropractic care.
For those interested, follow the link below to read the research full article. It is fascinating to explore the possible biological changes evoked by her wellness adjustments. From decreasing the stress response, to improving immune system and thyroid function and epigenetic factors, the positive effects of the chiropractic adjustment are discussed.
