I'm often surprised myself at how well children respond to even a single adjustment.  We've seen remarkable restorations of health with everything from "failure to thrive" to asthma, from bedwetting to adhd.  I think the reason so few parents take their children to a chiropractor is because they see chiropractic as a treatment for neck and back pain, rather than as a way to increase and sustain optimal health.  

I often ask new patients 'what animal is unhealthy in it's natural environment?'  The answer, of course, is none.  No species of animal is generally unhealthy in it's natural environment.. but move them to the zoo, and what happens?  Gorillas routinely get high blood pressure and die of heart disease, snakes and lions get cancer, monkeys get diabetes, elephants live half as long in captivity as they do in the wild. 

If you were the zookeeper and you wanted to help these animals be healthy, what would be the best and fastest way?  To return them to their natural environment of course.. but that isn't possible.  So you must try to approximate their current environment as closely as possible to what would be natural for them.. good luck.

The same is true of us.  Our genetics go back a long way in time, to when our environment was very different than it is today.  We're just like the animals living in the zoo.  Whatever you can do to help restore a child's environment to what it would have been naturally, the better their health will be.  That includes how they move, how they eat, even how they think.

Environment includes everything about your life other than genetics.  The closer your environment to what would be natural for us, the better your health.  With a single spinal adjustment, a child's internal neurologic environmment is restored closer to what it would be in nature, and whatever symptoms they're having often disappear very quickly.
