Why see a Pediatric Chiropractor?

It is extremely scary to see and realize what kids in today’s world are up against.  Illnesses and diagnoses that were very rare a long time ago are now being diagnosed at an alarming rate.  Why is this?  Is it because we have better diagnostic tools to identify these illnesses?  Is it because our genes are changing or these illnesses are hereditary?  Is it because these kids just have bad luck?  I think we all know the answer to all those questions is a very emphatic NO. 

These issues that we are seeing in our youth are issues that can be avoided, treated, and prevented with combining Pediatric Chiropractic Care, the right lifestyle path, and without compounding the problem with the side effects of some of the very powerful medications prescribed to treat them.  We are seeing more and more kids on methylphenidates, which is the generic brand-name of ADHD drugs such as Ritalin, Concera, and Daytrana.  Accompanying those medications is a list of side effects ranging from headache and mild joint pain to sudden, unexplained death.  A recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry suggests that certain stimulant medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may cause sudden, unexplained death,1 adding to previous reports emphasizing the potential dangers of such medications.1-2  In their conclusion, the study authors state: "This study reports a significant association or 'signal' between sudden unexplained death and the use of stimulant medication, specifically methylphenidate. While the data does have limitations that preclude a definitive conclusion, our findings draw attention to the potential risks of stimulant medications for children and adolescents." They add: "Although sudden unexplained death is a rare event, this finding should be considered in the context of other data about the risk and benefit of stimulants in medical treatment."1  That is a scary association. 

Luckily we have groups out there, such as the ICPA (International Pediatric Chiropractic Association) who train and certify Pediatric Chiropractors and do studies to prove that you do have a choice in the treatment of these types of conditions for your kids.  Pediatric Chiropractic care is very safe and effective at promoting and improving the overall health of out children.  The ICPA in its release referencing a recent study titled "The Chiropractic Care of Patients With Attention Deficit Disorder: A Retrospective Analysis." According to the ICPA, the study, which has been accepted for publication, "shows promising results for children under chiropractic care."  There are safe alternative choices for dealing with these conditions and seeing a Pediatric Chiropractor is one of them.

Thrive Chiropractic Wellness Center is committed to being your Pediatric Chiropractor in Milton, GA serving the surrounding communities of Alpharetta, Cumming, Canton, Roswell, and Crabapple.

For the third straight year in a row Dr. Jeremy was chairman of the Golf Committee for the Foglia YMCA Charity Golf Outing.  This outing is one of two major fund raisers for the Chicago Area YMCA.  The funds generated from this outing are used to supply local kids and families with financial help for camps, sports, after school functions, memberships, scholarships, and other family YMCA functions. This year the outing was on Monday, May 21, 2012 and was held at the prestigious Wynstone Country Club in Barrington, IL.   The weather was beautiful and the event was a huge success.  As a matter of fact, the event was the most successful Golf Outing that the YMCA has ever hosted and raised over $40,000 in scholarship money!
