The ICPA has initiated a ground breaking study on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. The preliminary results are outstanding and show that chiropractic care is safe for children. Even more significant is that parents reported three unexpected improvements with their child’s care:
- Improved sleeping
- Improved behavior and attitude
- Improved immune system function
This research was presented in 2007 at the 14th Annual Symposium on Complimentary Health Care in Exeter, UK. Read the abstracts below:
