Why we're doing this:
Kids are important ... and their health and welfare is
a major concern for all health care practitioners and advocates.
Unfortunately,
children in all nations are at risk from a staggering number of infectious
diseases and conditions. Making things worse is the frightening increase in
iatrogenic incidents.
Parents are alarmed by news of possible links between
vaccines and autism, the overuse and abuse of antibiotics for otitis media,
the shameful misuse of Ritalin and growth hormones, and the lack of proper
testing of drugs given to children. They are aware that medical errors
needlessly kill as many as 98,000 Americans annually – more than from
highway accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS.
They are looking for something better, and many of them
are finding chiropractic to be a safe and effective alternative.
The World Chiropractic Alliance strongly supports the
right of parents to seek and obtain chiropractic care for all their
children, regardless of age or presence or absence of symptoms.
The care of children is consistent with recommended
chiropractic guidelines, as set forth in the Council on Chiropractic
Practice “Clinical Practice Guideline Number 1, Vertebral Subluxation in
Chiropractic Practice,” included in the National Guideline Clearinghouse.
This document, which has been widely embraced by the chiropractic
profession, states: “Since Vertebral Subluxation may affect individuals at
any age, Chiropractic care may by indicated at any time after birth As
with any age group, however, care must be taken to select adjustment methods
most appropriate to the patient’s stage of development and overall spinal
integrity. Parental education by the Subluxation-centered Chiropractor
concerning the importance of evaluating children for the presence of
vertebral Subluxation is encouraged.”
Ample
documented evidence is available that chiropractic care is safe for children
and can have beneficial effects on health and fitness from newborn to adult
stages. But, too many people don't know how chiropractic can benefit their
children (or have been led to believe chiropractic is for adults with back
pain only!).
WCA Children’s Health Day International wants to change
that!

FREE for all WCA members (non-members may obtain the program
