I'm not a professional chiro however I just recently had this conversation with Matthew's alternative therapy providers.
1) So, what role did chiropractic play with the recovery of each child?
Child maintains good posture, spine is in alignment, when children compensate and have bad posture it presses on other good nerves reducing good conductivity.
(2) What EXACTLY does chiropractic help with?
Posture, balance, Matthew's would walk with his right foot out, after treatment this stopped - his knee was out of alignment
(3) What EXACT techniques are used to achieve this?
(4) Can you tell us what a session would consist of and how long it should last?
Matthew's sessions include adjustments and reikki energy. We go twice a week right now and they last about 5-10 minutes. They used to last longer but things are staying where they should now.
(5) How often should chiropratic adjustments be done ?
Varies by person/child
(6) How does one find a chiropractor to work on a child with a bpi ?
Call and ask questions, see if anyone you know is going and ask if they are pleased with treatments.
