To my surprise, the percentage of children they served was very low. The answer is the lack of education and communication with parents and other adults that receive care in these clinics. The clinic's staff is not spreading the knowledge about the benefits of chiropractic care within our practices and communities. CAs, it is our responsibility to serve our profession, and I believe it is a true disservice to keep quiet and not spread the word. We must speak out and educate.
Children have spines, too.
While working as an obstetrics nurse years ago, I witnessed firsthand the trauma placed on a newborn's cervical spine during delivery. I think it is possible that infants develop their first subluxations at this time. The only way this condition can be detected is to have the children evaluated by chiropractic physicians. For CAs and doctors know chiropractic care for our children's spines is every bit as important as caring for adult spines, I am here to help. Yes, children have spines, too, and they need to be maintained so the child can experience optimal health.
