Atlas & Axis finally arrive and head to Nashville, TN

They arrived!! The ChiroKiddos are here now. Click on the website and go to the ChiroKiddos tab and order a pair.
Last week Atlas and Axis made their first trip south of the Mason-Dixon line to Music City, USA. It was a lovely occasion to see the greenest state in the land of the free, relax at the Opryland resort, and eat breakfast at Waffle House.
The "Tribute to BJ Palmer" weekend was another fantastic event for me and my family. The ChiroKiddos were very well received by students and doctors alike. Several dolls were purchased and many contacts were made. Thanks to Dr. Ray Drury, Dr. Thad Vuagniaux, Billy Doherty, and all the people at UCHCA for an incredible conference.
I learned a ton of info. from the speakers. My wife and I were especially impressed with Dr. Julie Mayer Hunt from Clearwater, Florida. Her presentation was a moving and extremely emotional experience for the whole audience. I was deeply impressed (even more than before) about children's need for specific scientific chiropractic care. Thanks Dr. Hunt for your interest in ChiroKiddos, but we are even more grateful for your commitment to bringing health and hope to children! If you live anywhere near Clearwater, Florida you must make the effort to get to know Dr. Julie and her father. Their clinic's website has a great mission statement, which ends like this:
"...Mayer Chiropractic is dedicated to spreading health and wellness throughout our community ... beginning with children."

Healthy Spines + Healthy Habits = Healthy Kids

-- ChiroKiddos exists to help Chiropractors bring the BIG IDEA of health and wellness to children and their families. We believe that every child deserves to live a full and healthy life.
-- Since the brain and nerves control every function of the body (immune system, endocrine and hormone activity, tissue growth, repair and wound healing, strength and coordination, learning and memory development, special senses, plus all the internal organ systems), it is imperative to maintain a healthy nervous system. This is especially important during the rapid growth periods children experience...from birth through the teenage years.
-- The spinal column houses and protects the brain stem and spinal cord. When the spine is not properly aligned it will often impair nervous system function, leading to reduced nerve signals, loss of health, diminished immune function, and decreased ability to adapt to stress. Traumas, toxins, poor posture, emotional stress, and "just being a kid" can injure the supporting tissues of the spine allowing misalignments to occur. A child often develops a vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) without the parents even knowing it.
-- The VSC is commonly understood as a structural misalignment and/or malfunction of the spine which compromises the flow of nerve impulses and reduces the body's innate ability to adapt and function properly. The physiologic effects of a VSC (disruption of homeostasis) often go unnoticed for years until the long term neural deficit contributes to pain or some other known pathology.
-- Normal playing, simple falls, and even birth trauma all can cause vertebral subluxation. The resultant nerve interference diminishes the body's ability to adapt to its environment. This subluxation process can explain the lingering health problems, infections, allergies, deficits, diseases, and other named disorders many children suffer from every day.
-- The good news is that VSC is a reversible condition! Each child needs to have his spine checked for subluxation by a Doctor of Chiropractic. Even if the child appears normal and healthy, Chiropractors are the only health care practitioners in the world trained to detect and remove vertebral subluxation by adjusting the spine. True health and wellness is achievable if the body can function as designed, free of nerve interference.
-- I invite you to join with ChiroKiddos by helping us promote "Healthy Kids" so this generation of children can live up to their maximum potential. We need to teach them "Healthy Habits" (avoid all drugs & toxins, eat lots of fruit & veggies, and exercise regularly). We also need to provide chiropractic care and "Healthy Spines" for all ages, especially children. Read more in my Healthy Kids blog posts.
