Backpack Safety?

Backpack safety is not about making sure your child's backpack fits properly to prevent neck or back pain.

The moment your child leaves your site their going to unstrap and sling that backpack every which way but lose.

I know because we have 5 children and they never listened to us about wearing it properly and they did just fine. They also benefited from regular chiropractic checkups to make sure they had a healthy spine and nervous system to adapt to the physical, chemical and emotional stress of everyday life.

We were more concerned about the torque and tension the heavy backpack placed on our child's brain-stem and spinal cord versus the muscles of their back and neck because we knew that an uncorrected problem over time could alter body function.

What's alarming is that parents may not realize that their child may already have an underlying spinal problem before the child started carrying a backpack.

We don't ask the parents in our office to bring in their child's backpack so we may fit it properly. We ask the parent to bring in their child to make sure their body is working properly and able to adapt to all the stresses they put upon it everyday.

It's not about the backpack its about their life. Please get your child checked.

Frustrated with my child being sick so much

I ran into a friend and her son in West Cobb  (The Avenues) the other day and we began chatting about the weather and the pollen.  She was telling me how she was in the pediatrician office yet again for his allergies and the medication is he on again. I am sorry but something is not right. Yes the pollen is bad but why if you truly think about it, I mean truly think about it, why does he have allergies and another child does not. 

I spent the first 2 1/2 years of my daughter's life in the pediatrician's office with one ailment after another. Ear infections were the favorite. Finally after my husband getting furious at the doctor for giving us a pill versus a liquid medication (he literally had to crush the pill into a powder to hide in the food), we both said something has got to change. We had done everything right how could she be sick so much. 

We decided to try chiropractic. We immediately saw a change in our daughter. No more health problems. We survived the public school years with no challenges. Yes she would get a cold just like everyone but her body was able to handle it within a day or two. If she missed school, it was because we chose to miss not because she was ill. I never worried about the germs and who had what. Her body was now able to fight off anything coming at her because her immune system was stronger. She no longer needed to see the pediatrician or needed medication. YES I said it no pediatrician visits no medications. That is prescribed or over-the-counter. Because of her health, we have raised all five kids with chiropractic. 

YES five children under only chiropractic care. WOW. Chiropractic care is my families health care.
