Childrens' Health: Forcast by Federal Concensus

Taking care of a child’s well-being is at the heart of every parent, guardian, relative or friend. In the midst of a national recession with no end in sight, people are more conscious where they spend their dollars.

And as unemployment continues to hit historic highs, parents, out of work and no health insurance benefits, are desperate and forced to cut back keeping their children healthy. University of Miami pediatric and psychology professor Daniel Armstrong thinks children's overall health will deteriorate in this economy.

Here are a few predictions for leading forecasts:
  • Less prenatal checkups leading to complications
  • Increase in pre-term births and low weight infants
  • A rise in SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
  • Infant and child hospital stays lengthened due to less pediatric checkups
  • Increase in dental decay with parents unable to pay for dental care
  • Children development failing because they are unable to attend special therapies or attain medications for asthma, ADHD, diabetes, etc.
  • Rise in Type II Juvenile Diabetes
  • Decrease mental health of children suffering from depression, migraines and the Stress the economy has put on the American Family
  • Heavier teenage drinking
  • Increasing teen age pregnancies
  • Rising teen age suicide

The most concerning statistic regarding Childrens Health:
‘First time in history a generation of children has a LOWER LIFE EXPECTANCY than their parents.’

    Wow! Didn't realize it has become such an epidemic for unhealthy children. I hope part 2 gives me as a parent some nuggets of how to help my child beat these statistics. I want to do whatever I can to keep them healthy for the future.

Top 3 Chiropractic CONCERNS

These concerns, or as I call them anxieties , usually prevent someone from seeing a Chiropractor. And sometimes, stops the person from starting Chiropractic care after they realize they need it. Let’s see what they are and how our office has been able to ease these fears over the years. #1: “I don’t want you to break my neck.” Who hasn’t seen an action movie that involves the twisting of a neck and instantaneous eternal sleep (death)? Scary, right? ONLY in the Movies !!! Approximately 2-5 new patients per year have this permanently scared in their brain and refuse to at least give it a try. With the use of x-ray , exam and health history you have a better probability of getting a stroke from a scary movie than a chiropractic adjustment. The “ popping sound ” of the adjustment is the release of joint pressure similar to the feel and sound of your knuckle popping. The initial muscle relaxation alone after your first neck adjustment is usually enough to break this anxiety . #2: “...

THERE IS A RADICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICINE AND CHIROPRACTIC!

This article was written by Herman Dunn, on our behalf to avoid bias. We have all been indoctrinated into the medical model, and few of us have much understanding of chiropractic procedures.  Each is distinct, and it is important to know the difference if you wish to make intelligent health care choices. Allow me to explain further. First of all, let me make it clear that Chiropractic is not better than Medicine nor vice versa – they are just different.  The practice of medicine saves lives!  We need to know the truth about it, however, in order to use it appropriately. If we view the scale of our state of health as a range from perfect health to extreme sickness, we can distinguish the focus of Chiropractic from the focus of Medicine and clearly see the difference between the two.  Medicine is primarily concerned with the sickness end of the scale, and the Medical Doctors are expert at identifying and treating illness.   Chiropractic Doctors foc...
