Children and Chiropractic
Throughout this book we find many case studies involving
children. In this section we show that various researchers
have documented and reported on the intimate relationship
between spinal health and overall health in children.
As mentioned in the ICA Review Sept/Oct 1995 p.5.
The Journal of Pediatrics reports that 'Alternative Medicine (AM) is an aspect
of child health care that no longer can be ignored' in a study that determined
that 11% of those surveyed had taken their child to an AM provider. The most
used was chiropractic. The mothers who chose AM were better educated than those
who chose conventional medicine.
The medical reasons for seeking alternative care were for respiratory (27%),
ENT (24%), musculoskeletal (15%), skin (6%), gastrointestinal (6%), allergies
(6%), and prevention (5%). The factors influencing choice of AM were word of
mouth (32%), fear of drug side-effects (21%), chronic medical problems (19%),
dissatisfaction with conventional medicine (14%), and more personalized attention
(9%).
Upper cervical chiropractic care of the pediatric patient: A review of the literature
Prax, JC Journal Of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics Volume 4, No. 1 1999
This is a review of the literature on upper cervical adjustments in the pediatric
patient (infants and small children). The author extracted data from indexed
and non-indexed sources with four computer-based systems: Mantis, Medline, Index
to the Chiropractic Literature, and Chirolars. Non-indexed literature was reviewed
manually utilizing references from journals and textbooks.
Approximately 58 articles on chiropractic care of the pediatric patient in relation
to upper cervical adjustments (full spine chiropractic techniques may have been
used as well) were found. This review summarizes 25 studies documenting the positive
outcomes on over one thousand children under chiropractic care.
Characteristics of 217 children attending a chiropractic college teaching clinic.
Nyiendo J. Olsen E.J Manipulative Physiol Ther, 1988; 11(2):78084.
The authors found that pediatric patients at Western States Chiropractic College
public clinic commonly had ordinary complaints of ear-infection, sinus problems,
allergy, bedwetting, respiratory problems, and gastro-intestinal problems.
Complete or substantial improvement had been noted in 61.6% of pediatric patients
of their chief complaint, 60.6% received "maximum" level of improvement. Only
56.7% of adult patients received "maximum" level of improvement.
Cumulative incidence of lumbar disc diseases leading to hospitalization up to
the age of 28 years. Zitting, P, Rantakallio P, Vanharanta H. Spine 1998;23(21):

disease in subjects 28 years of age or less revealed that disc disease may begin

Back pain reporting pattern in a Danish population-based sample of children and
adolescents. Wedderkopp N,Leboeuf-Yde C, Andersen LB, Froberg K, Hansen HS Spine
2001; 26(17): 1879-83
Researchers surveyed 481 children, 8-10 years old and 325 adolescents 14-16 years
old. Within a one month period, 39% stated they had experienced back pain - the
thoracic (mid-back) area being the most common area of complaint in childhood;
thoracic and lumbar (low back) pain is more common among adolescents. Neck pain
was rare in those surveyed.
