Why adjust kids?
Parents of children coming into the Whole Child Wellness program are sometimes surprised by the fact that chiropractic treatment is a part of the program. How can spinal manipulation help with symptoms of ADHD, Asperger's, Autism or Opisitional Disorder?
Spinal joints that are improperly positioned, or subluxated, can cause irritation or pressure to the nerves exiting the spinal column. This leads to poor nerve signal transmission from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain. The brain is dependant upon this "super-highway" of nerve signals to control all bodily functions (respiration, digestion, blood pressure, etc.), for proprioception and coordination, and to make sense out of all the sensory input our bodies are constantly receiving from the world around us.
Spinal subluxations are common in children due to falls, rough play and birth trauma. It is so important to remove these sources of interference in their internal communication system and allow their "information super-highway" to function at it's best.

Why Mineral Tissue Analysis is so important.
A tissue mineral analysis is one of the first tests we do on children entering the Whole Child Wellness program. Using a small sample of hair from the child, an independent lab tests the amount of heavy metals and other toxins present in the child's system. The majority of kids we test come back with unhealthy levels of toxic metals accumulated in their system. It's not just lead parents have to worry about. There is also aluminum, mercury, cadmium and arsenic- all found in the foods we eat, the materials we cook with, the air we breath, the medicine we take. What are we putting into our kids!?!?
Parents who have been very diligent in providing healthy, nutritious foods and clean home environment are especially surprised by the levels of toxins found in their child's system. They say "no wonder my child is having problems" and "how did this happen?".
This is why if your child is having difficulty with focus, attention, communication or behavior, a mineral tissue analysis should be one of the first diagnostic tests performed. The Whole Child Wellness program works first to remove these toxic substances creating interference in the brain, then to strengthen the weakened areas created by the interference.
