Are Your Kids in Need of Chiropractic?
Most people are surprised to find out that the first stress placed on a child’s neck and back is during the birthing process. An estimated 60-90 lbs. of force is used on an infant’s neck during “normal” delivery. Do you think this could cause damage to your child’s spine and nervous system? Fact: The nervous system controls every cell and organ (heart, lungs, brain, stomach) in your body. Equally surprising is the fact that 26% of children surveyed at school reported a history of back pain.
Have you watched your child play outside or with their friends? They run, jump, fall, roll, and tackle every day. Many adults that come to a chiropractor’s office show evidence of childhood injuries that can be the cause for their pain today. Do you think it is too early to teach your kids to take care of their teeth? When do you think it is a good time to have your child’s spine checked for serious signs of spinal imbalances or misalignments?
Fortunately, Chiropractic has had many positive results in children with common childhood problems. Problems like headache, scoliosis, asthma, colic, ear infections, asthma, and even some cases of behavioral problems respond well with chiropractic care. In fact, a recent study showed that children under chiropractic care suffered fewer ear infections than those whose parent took them to medical care alone.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe for children? Absolutely! Because a child’s skeletal system is still developing, only light pressure is needed to adjust a child’s spine. The few minutes you invest in your child’s spinal checkup may save them needless suffering now and in the future.
How can I tell if my child has spinal imbalances?
Just as it is important that you have your children’s teeth checked by a dentist, it is also important to have their spine checked regularly for proper development. Use the following list to check for spinal imbalances:
-Have your child bend over with arms dangling forward. When you run your hand over his or her spine, does it curve from side to side?
-Look at your child from the rear, does one shoulder blade stick out or appear to be higher than the other?
-When looking at your child from the rear, is one ear higher than the other?
-Does your child’s back appear to be humped or rounded?
-Do your child’s clothes fit properly; are hems and waistbands of skirts or pants even?
These “home evaluations” are just a few indicators why your child may need chiropractic care.
How about my infant?
You can also observe your baby to check for spinal imbalances:
-When your baby is lying on his back, does his head seem to tilt to one side?
-Does your baby prefer breastfeeding on one side?
-Does your baby arch her back when crying?
-Is your baby slow to develop adequate neck strength to hold his head up?
-An estimated 60-90 lbs. of force is used on an infant’s neck during “normal” delivery. Do you think this could cause damage to your child's spine and nervous system?

"I could not be more happy with my experience at The Drugless Doctors. Our whole family attends and I love that they are all very patient with our kids. I started seeing Dr. Casen toward the beginning of my pregnancy. This is my fifth pregnancy and I feel amazing! I am sleeping better than before and have way more energy than any of my other pregnancies. There are so many things I appreciate about these great doctors. They care about whole body health and want to educate you as much as possible on how to feel your best. Every time you come in they make you feel so good and every doctor greets you by name. It is really hard to find this quality of people in the medical industry and you always feel great after your visit. If you haven't guessed yet I highly recommend The Drugless Doctors!"

We love being able to help people everyday, and this week's #NoMeds story (practice member testimonial) comes from Gay:
“I first saw Dr Bob at a Mustard Seed seminar and was so impressed that I now drive 45 minutes each way to get my adjustments and nutritional help. I have several issues that the doctors are helping me with. My main reason for coming to see Dr Bob was for help to lose weight and little did I know that he would help me with my scoliosis and arthritis problems as well as keeping my blood pressure within a normal range. It all has to work together for the best results and I have been moving forward. I have learned so much and hope to continue to learn. And I truly enjoy seeing all three doctors as I feel that I can relate to each of them. What a joy to receive and learn so much from these great and knowledgeable people.” - Gay
We love responses like this and would love to help you, too! If you are interested in chiropractic and natural care, please contact us here for our Westlake and Elyria practices.

We know your health can be a personal issue, but we also know hearing stories from those who have benefited from chiropractic and drugless care can be an incentive for you to consider coming to see us. This is why we will be highlighting practice member's testimonials each week through 2016 from our Westlake and Elyria chiropractic practices. This week we have Monika:
"Taking drugs or surgery was not an option I wanted to take. The Doctors spent time listening to my concerns, and taking digital images to map out a plant just for me. After a few adjustments, I felt more centered in mind and body. The discomfort in my shoulder, wrists and feet are no longer an issue.
With their office workshops (informative health issues, recipes, etc.) we learn how our food choices and exercise (-11 lbs.) help complete the journey to our best, healthy life. Thanks to their enthusiasm and knowledge, I'm looking forward to an even better 2016."
We would love to help you too! Please visit our contact page for our hours and address.
One of the top questions we receive daily at our practice is, "How do I detoxify my body?". Many of us also want to cleanse our body the right way when beginning a new year, and we recently taped a "The Drugless Doctor" episode on detoxification. You can also view and download Dr. Bob's "Cleanse & Purify" devotional, now on YouVersion. If you have any questions, or would like to visit our chiropractic practice in Westlake, please go here. We would love to help you!
Each new year brings about intent to start fresh. That might mean doing your best to become healthier and to lose weight. Our office over the past few years has started each year with "The Drugless Diet" and we are now offering it on our website for the first time.
The diet provides you with the accountability of knowing one of our doctors will be reviewing your diet and fitness journals each week, helping you to make the appropriate changes to promote a healthier you. Currently, this program is only offered on-site at our Westlake and Elyria practice. Here is a run-down of what The Drugless Diet includes:
1. Initial Assessment: We develop an outline and strategy for you. This includes weight, pictures, tracking devices or halc pre and post test, BMI, waist measurement, and fat body analyzer.
2. Weekly diet and fitness journal reviews: This allows us to track your progress.
3. Welcome Packet: Includes information on what to eat, when to exercise, and helpful troubleshooting points for your weight loss.
4. Ending Assessment & Consultation: Weight, picture, BMI, waist measurement, and fat-body analyzer.
Benefits
We have seen multiple benefits to our practice members who have participated in this program besides the weight loss element. Some of these include increased energy, more self-esteen, regular bowel movements, increased libido, and more.
The retail value for The Drugless Diet is over $1500, but the importance of changing your life is also important to us, which is why we are offering the program at only $250 to our current practice members and $450 to non-practice members.
Please contact us for more information, so we can help you have your healthiest year yet!
