We have seen more EDS, POTS & PANS cases this year than ever before...here is a primer on what they are and what brain-based pediatric chiropractic can do about them

The human brain is lateralized so that it can have incredible specialization but that also makes it somewhat vulnerable . That is why it is important to look at hemisphericity during patient care...

Can you see the future? I don't predict the future. I mean, when a patient walks in with a particular problem, can you see them better? Train yourself to see each patient, no matter what they presented with, as doing better. Then you just need to lead them to that future!

What's the one thing you would do differently if you started over? What are the best and worst things you've done in practice? What should you reinvest in your office as your office grows? These are just some of the dozens of questions answered during our quarterly Q & A talk.

"Chiropractic is a radical science" is a great description from Stephenson's classic Chiropractic Textbook...even though it was written in 1927, it still holds true today. Chiropractic runs "contrary to the methods of healing used in the world." That's exactly what makes chiropractic so special!

What do Newton's Laws of Motion have to do with Chiropractic? Well...everything! Motion, inertia, acceleration, equal and opposite forces...all of it relates to chiropractic. He thought of this in 1686 almost 250 years before Stephenson wrote the 33 principles and about 200 years before the birth of chiropractic in 1895.

Scientists increasingly are studying things that have potentially ethical or moral paradoxes associated with them. How ethical is it to take human brain cells and combine them with computer chips? What is the moral stance on growing human brain orgainoids? Where should the line be drawn about AI creating new human viruses? The question isn't can they...it is should they!

The number trees in an acorn varies from how you look at that acorn...is it just an acorn seed, or does the tree that's in the acorn have significant possibilities?

Been in practice for 37+ years! Thinking about what it was like when I first started and where things have changed, and how children have become the centerpiece of everything I do...what a wild ride it's been.

Have you read "The Anxious Generation"? Great book illustrating the issues that phones have caused our world and especially our youth. A new study further cements this problem in real time, showing that the younger a child starts on social media, the worse their school performance is!

So many times children & adults with Autism level 3 are assumed to not understand directions simply because they don't follow them. Maybe it is a combination of apraxia and sensory processing disorder and we should presume competence EVEN IF that person cannot demonstrate it!

Chiropractic philosophy is deep with concepts of inside out healing potential. When you cut your finger, you need do nothing but clean (and maybe cover) the wound,...the body does all the work itself! That is a small example of the ADIO thinking

Adjusting kids using brain-based concepts is very different than the standard idea which is, "adjusting kids is like adjusting little adults." You take into account the child's nerve system before you decide what sort of adjustment you will do.

There is a neuro ring that surrounds the head that can be a ring of incredible sensory acuity or a ring of fire, depending on what's happening with that child or adult.

1 in 2! What does that mean? One in two kids in Australia have a chronic disease. If it's like that there, it's most likely similar in the USA. Wow!
