Michael Rivers – In His 50’s
RESULTS Without DRUGS
Michael came to a principled Chiropractor in March 2007 with low back pain, acid reflux, high blood pressure, and trouble sleeping. He had been treated by his family medical doctor with prescription drugs which didn't help him at all. Since starting principled chiropractic care, he no longer takes his sleep medication or his blood pressure medication and his acid reflux is now under control. And of course his lower back is better as well. Michael followed his Chiropractic corrective care plan and never missed an appointment. He continues to maintain his progress and overall health with his recommended maintenance care appointments.
Michael says, "I really like my Chiropractors and their Team. They really seem to care for your health. I would advise anyone to visit a principled Chiropractor. You will see results without drugs. I appreciate all their help."

Testimonial - child with dramatic changes...
Austin Umstattd -
IMPROVED REPORT CARD & GRADES
Austin first presented with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Auditory Processing Delay, and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. These diagnoses' required speech, feeding, and occupational therapy three times per week along with special education placement. He was being treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. His mom says his treatment was on how to "deal" with his disorders not on how to "heal" his disorders.
After Austin's first few specific, scientific, chiropractic adjustments, his attention span improved and he was able to sleep through the night. He also said to his mother, "That the loud noise in my head is gone. I can hear at school now."
Austin's mom says, "Austin's report card showed amazing improvement, and he is now doing well in a regular education setting. Austin can also tell me when he needs an adjustment because the "noise" in his head starts to return."
Austin's entire family is now under principled chiropractic care. Austin's mom, Veronica, realizes that not only do her son's spine and nervous system need to be in optimal health, but that the rest of the family deserves the same as well.

Testimonial - 9 and 12 yrs old, no more allergies...
Kaitlyn & Kaira McKinnon - 9 and 12 Years old
2 Allergy Shots A Day - No More!!
Kaitlyn and Kaira found Principled Chiropractic in November 2003. At ages 9 and 12. they suffered with allergies, asthma, and migraine headaches for many years. Each received two allergy shots daily and migraine medication was a lifestyle. Both had been to numerous allergy specialists and neurologists where they were treated with medication after medication, but their symptoms never went away. Since beginning specific scientific chiropractic care, both Kaitlyn and Kaira have been able to reduce and/or eliminate Imitrex, Zyrtec, Relpac, and allergy shots. Mrs. McKinnon says, "Principled Chiropractic has been very gentle and loving for my children. It has helped our family realize how great we could feel."

Testimonial - 3 yrs old, off 6+ meds...
Anthony Umstattd - 3 Years Old
Off Of 6+ Medications!!
Anthony suffered with severe asthma and allergies. These diagnoses caused hives, shortness of breath, and eczema. His condition was considered to be life-threatening. His allergist recommended limited physical activity and anywhere from 6-10 medications at one time. At his next appointment with his allergist, Anthony was supposed to begin weekly allergy shots. Since starting principled chiropractic care, he has been able to eliminate Proventil, Zyrtec, Singulair, Nasonex, Albuteral, and Pulmicort- all of which were taken on a daily basis. He has also been able to reduce Mometasone Cream and Benadryl cream.
Veronica, Anthony's mom, says, "I worked in the medicial field where chiropractic care was discouraged and sometimes described as dangerous. I was very uneasy during our first visit. I never would have imagined that specific chiropractic adjustments could help with asthma and allergies. "The entire Umstattd family is now under chiropractic care. Veronica "Mom" says, "Coming to a princvipled chiropractor has really changed our lives. My little boy can now run and play outside with his brother. To me, that's Priceless!"

A Word About Sudden Infant Death Syndrome...
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome – Related To The Spine
In a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders noted that SIDS is the leading cause of mortality in the United States of infants aged one month to one year, with 5000 to 600 deaths being attributed to SIDS. In encouraging parents to have infants sleep on their backs, Elders states that SIDS infants exhibit "...a pattern of delayed development of cardiorespiratory and central nervous system structures." However, Elders also notes that "...no specific diagnostic criteria, either when an infant is alive or after it has died, distinguish a SIDS infant from any other." [12]
Every seasoned chiropractor who has adjusted infants knows the dramatic responses which often follow the correction of a subluxation. Chiropractic care for newborns is immensely rich in clinical promise. Besides the possible link between subluxation and SIDS, the lifelong health benefits which may follow adjustment shortly after birth should be the subject of additional research. As chiropractors, we have a public health responsibility to further explore the relationship between SIDS and subluxation. www.worldchiropracticalliance.org
Peer Reviewed Journals:
Latent spinal cord and brain stem injury in newborn infants. Towbin, A, Dev Med Child Neurol. 1969 (Feb);11 (1): 54-68
• Autopsy of infants who died of SIDS revealed blood in the spinal cord, which the author hypothesized, was due to obstetrical trauma. "Spinal cord and brain stem injuries often occur during the process of birth but frequently escape diagnosis. Respiratory depression in the neonate is a cardinal sign of much injury. In infants, there may be lasting neurological defects reflecting the primary injury." Towbin further states: "mechanical stress imposed by obstetric manipulation-even the application of standard orthodox procedures may prove intolerable to the fetus. Difficult breathing in the newborn is a classic indication of such injury" He goes on to say," Survival of the newborn is governed mainly by the integrity and function of the vital centers in the brain stem. Yet paradoxically, the importance of injury at birth to the brain stem and spinal cord are matters which have generally escaped lasting attention."
Birth injury to the cervical spine and spinal cord. Reid H. Acta Neurochir Suppl (Wien). 1983; 32: 87-90
• Mechanical trauma to the cervical spine still occurs at birth. In 2 of 48 perinatal postmortems traumatic damage to the cervical spinal cord was found. Also in this series at least 12% of cases from one hospital showed some degree of trauma to the cervical spine but this was of a lesser degree in individual cases than 20 years ago.
Infantile atlantooccipital instability. The potential danger of extreme extension. Giles FH, Bina M, Sotrel A. Am J Dis Child. 1979 Jan;133(1):30-37
• During early infancy, adventitious sliding and slipping movements between the vertebral column and skull are possible in the cadaver. In ten of 17 infants, the posterior arch of the atlas inverted through the foramen magnum during extension of the head on the atlas, resulting in the anatomic potential of bilateral vertebral artery compression. These anatomic conditions may be the basis for a chain of events that contributes to death in some neonates and infants with conventioanl diseases and may be one source of unanticipated death.

Are You Free From Subluxation?...
A subluxation occurs when a spinal bone (vertebrae) becomes misaligned, causing compression or irritation of a spinal nerve. This results in damage and interference to the nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It controls every organ, tissue and cell in the body. It is because of this fact that subluxations cause dysfunction of organs and muscles and decreases the body’s ability to heal.
How do we get subluxations?
TRAUMAS
Falling off a ladder or getting in a car accident are sure to cause spinal misalignment that results in interference to the nervous system. Most everyone has slipped on the ice or tripped down a step. These have the potential to cause a spinal subluxation. Constant and/or minor physical forces may also result in subluxation. Things such as carrying a heavy purse or backpack, the birthing process, participating in sports, or typing at a computer at work every day. Prolonged sitting, standing or sleeping positions and repetitive motions could also be causes.
TOXINS
The body is exposed to numerous chemicals on a daily basis. These chemicals are known to alter muscle tone, and therefore muscle function. Because numerous muscles are attached to the spine, alteration in their tone disrupts proper spinal alignment. Toxins are in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the drugs we take. Not only are there external chemicals, but chemicals that are produced by the body as a result of heavy exercise, nutrient deficiency, and stress.
THOUGHTS
Society today runs at a rushed pace. There are many societal pressures and tension is an extremely common characteristic of American culture. For these reasons, emotions are a very influential factor in our health. Muscle tension as a result of stress and the body’s response to feelings of sadness, anger, or even overwhelming joy all can lead to the formation of subluxations.
Eliminate subluxation through corrective chiropractic care!
For optimal health, regular chiropractic care is vital. Only through a healthy nervous system can the body function at 100%. Everyone deserves to live at his/her full potential. Principled chiropractors specifically and scientifically correct subluxations in people of all ages, including newborns. Live your life to the fullest. Receive regular care from your principled chiropractor.
