How many times do you wish you could do more for your children? How many times do you wish you could make them feel better, heal faster, improve their function? How many times do you feel that there are no answers, that the normal routine isn't working? We know that eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, and drinking water help lead to healthy children. We want to help. Your child deserves a better class of healthcare and a better version of wellness and prevention.

We live in a society that tells us how to feed, clothe, and heal our children. We are told how to treat them, how to raise them, how to help them grow and become strong adults. Unfortunately we are also seeing exponential increases in developmental disorders, psychological disorders, autoimmune diseases, and a decrease in health overall. These negative effects on our children are in spite of an ever growing medical system that is led by the latest in technology and chemistry.

Our society tells us that fevers are bad, over-expressive children are bad, and symptoms are bad. All of these are normal functions of the human body, normal expression that allows the body to thrive and heal itself.

Since when did we begin to believe that health comes from a bottle, and that taking pieces out of the body can truly help it function better. Every child is created perfectly. Who are we to say we know the way the body works, better than the body. It is time to take a step back and review what health truly is.

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - World Health Organization

"'The ability to adapt and self manage' in the face of social, physical, and emotional challenges." - British Medical Journal

"A condition of optimum physical, social, mental and spiritual well being - not merely the absence of disease or infirmities." - Dorland's Medical Dictionary

We spend so much of our time worrying about how our children feel that we often forget about function. How our children function is the most important aspect of their health.

In our world, when we don't feel well, we take medicine. To prevent disease we inject a chemically altered disease into our bodies in order to develop artificial immunity. To maintain and grow our body we eat foods that have been genetically modified, not to benefit our health, but to benefit the company who sells it. We are so far away from health that we have lost track of how to keep and maintain it. True health can be expressed by the body only when it is functioning at its optimal level. True health is expressed through the body as a wholeness.

All that comes from within.

There is one control mechanism of the body, one way that the body maintains itself as a self regulating, self healing organism. That is the nervous system. A lack of brain function leads to an inability to adapt, an inability to thrive, an inability for full expression, and most importantly an inability to be who you were truly meant to be.

Chiropractors work with that subtle substance of the body that allows everything else to function at its best. We work with the nervous system and recognize that we cannot give anything that will improve the body's own ability to heal. We simply aid the body in expressing that full health potential.

Your children were born into a society which believes that, from birth, we are ill adapted to survive. I am here to say that is wrong. Your children were meant to thrive, they were meant to prosper and they were meant to live long and healthy lives. I would like to help.

Chiropractic care can benefit healthy children as well as those who are suffering from a variety of symptoms. We see children with ear infections, asthma, autism, cerebral palsy, bed wetting, inability to sleep, attitude problems, psychological problems, coordination problems, poor posture, ADD, ADHD, and anything that may interfere with the true expression of the body. We do this through an inside-out approach. By allowing the body to work at its best we can heal from all of these symptoms.

We care about your children, and we want them to thrive, not just survive. Allow us to help. Your children will thank you and they will be healthier for it.
