A good source of information on Chiropractic and children is the website of
the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Their web
address is www.icpa4kids.com. This
site contains articles, information and research on health related issues
concerning children.
Their
mission statement reads, "The mission of the International Chiropractic
Pediatric Association is to bring the life saving benefits of chiropractic
care to all children."
Their website contains information for the general public about the
benefits of chiropractic care. In one section, entitled, "Why chiropractic
for children", the ICPA discusses such issues as "Why should children have
chiropractic care" and "Is chiropractic safe for my child". The articles on
this site are well referenced and thorough.
In addition to articles and information about chiropractic for infants
and children the ICPA website also contains a vast resource of information
on subjects that relate to child health and well being in general. Subjects
such as ADHD, Asthma, Child safety, Scoliosis, Speech disorders, and many
other topics are presented in articles and research in language that is
easily understood. Additionally their website contains links to other
health related sites on such subjects as natural child birth and
vaccinations.
Two other sections that are well laid out and informative are the
sections on family wellness and research. Each of these sections has large
numbers of pages of pediatric health related information. If you are making
critical decisions about the health and well being of your children or
family, you should consider the website of the ICPA for valuable
information.
