Inspiring Articles
Few newspaper articles have moved me in the way the following two have. If you are in need of inspiration, please take the time to read these powerful articles telling drastically different stories of people triumphing through adversity.
Three Months After Massive Tornado, Town Begins to Feel Like Home Again
This one hits close to home. Amazing account of the epic disaster Parkersburg, IA has battled through this summer
Maverick Vancouver, B.C., Mayor Faces Olympic-size Challenge
This article was extremely inspiring to me, and will help you view the upcoming Olympics in a new light. As many of you know, before moving to Des Moines I spent two years in a community an hour south of Vancouver, and had the opportunity to drive over the bridge mentioned in the article. It's intriguing to think that I might have driven past the mayor of Vancouver as he headed to work.
Condition of the Month Kids and Chiropractic
The top three conditions adults visit chiropractors for are back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, many parents are surprised to learn that the reasons children visit a chiropractor are quite different.
A recent event in my family reminded me of the need to educate the community on reasons children visit chiropractors. I was talking to my mother about a month ago when she mentioned that my brother and his wife were going to be bringing my nephew, Elijah, for a medical doctor appointment concerning ongoing congestion in his ears and that they were expecting to have tubes inserted into Elijah's ears. "Have they taken him to a chiropractor?" I asked? "No," stated my mother, "Does chiropractic help with that?" I went on to share that ear infections and congestion were actually the top reason for pediatric chiropractic visits. After hanging up with my mother I quickly called my brother to share the information with him.
Since that time, Elijah has visited Dr. Roger Edkin in Cedar Rapids a few times for adjustments. Over Labor Day weekend my brother and his wife thanked me for sharing with them how chiropractic might help, as his ears are significantly better and surgery is now looking extremely unlikely for little Elijah.
Below are the top 10 reasons children visit chiropractors
1. 11.3% of visits - Earache The take home message: If your child or the child of someone you know is suffering from these conditions, consider giving safe and effective chiropractic care a chance before trying higher risk drugs and surgery. Would you like your child to be examined to see if there are any problems. Take advantage of an upcoming Kid's Day the first Tuesday of each month. On this day children under 13 receive any needed services at no charge!
