" Every child, no
matter their special needs or differing abilities, deserves complete
health care and hope that Dr. Clary brings!"
Chiropractic is
concerned with the enhancement, promotion, preservation and restoration
of health and focuses particular attention on the subluxation. A
chiropractic vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) is a complex of
functional and/ or structural and/or pathological articular changes that
compromise neural integrity and may influence the homeostasis of
multiple organ systems and the body as a whole. The chiropractic
vertebral subluxation complex can only be evaluated by chiropractors
utilizing profession specific procedures based on the best available
rational, scientific, empirical evidence. Over 100 years of
chiropractic care for children has shown in the scientific literature to
be the safest interventional health care modality available to the
public.

The role of the
chiropractor, though trained and educated in the function of disease
labeling and therapy, is to identify and correct vertebral subluxation
complexes that have a profound negative impact on the physiological
development of the child. Health promotion through well child
maintenance care as well as VSC corrective care is an invaluable
contribution the chiropractor can make to the health and well being of
the child. Since human function and innate homeostasis is
neurologically integrated, Doctors of Chiropractic evaluate and
facilitate biomechanical and neuro-biological function though the
appropriate application of the chiropractic adjustment and diagnostic
procedures. When the pediatric patient’s homeostasis is overwhelmed and
produces an identifiable disease, the pediatric patient moved from
wellness into the interventionist medical paradigm, the chiropractic
focus on the location and adjustment of the VSC remains unchanged. This
dedicated therapeutic focus does not exempt the chiropractor from the
responsibilities of practicing the art and science of whole body
diagnosis.
Even in the most severe
disease states, chiropractic has a critical role to play in the
management of the pediatric patient who clearly belongs within the
allopathic interventionist model. Disease is a struggle to maintain
homeostatic balance of the body despite tissue damage and chiropractic
adjustments move the child closer to wellness and away from pathologic
dysfunction of tissues and organ systems. By contrast, allopathy has
little role to play in the management of the patient who fits within the
chiropractic wellness paradigm because of the lack of an identifiable
pathology. Even preventive measures such as prophylaxis for asthma are
dependent for their implementation upon the manifestation of the disease
in the first place. Chiropractic care has been proven effective in
positively effecting children with various “named” disease
manifestations and empirically has blamed for the increased general
health status of chiropractically treated children versus the general
allopathic population.
Therefore, direct
access and widespread utilization of chiropractic care is an integral
part of the pediatric patient’s healthy development. Chiropractic
should be included first in the health care planning of every child. |
