With the new school year in full swing, the last thing Ahwatukee Foothills residents Larry and Michelle Mushkin are worried about is their kids missing school because of a cold.
For the past two years, both of their sons, Darren, 7, and Andrew, 5, have been under the care of Dr. Aaron Kovac at Back in Line Family Chiropractic in Ahwatukee Foothills. Although they were hesitant at first about introducing their children to chiropractic care, Larry and Michelle are happy with their decision as both Darren and Andrew have suffered far fewer colds and illnesses than they used to, ultimately resulting in fewer missed days from school.
“Even when they do get sick, it seems as though the illness is generally milder and lasts for a lot less time,” Michelle said. “Additionally, neither has had an ear infection since they started receiving care, and both had suffered from intermittent ear infections in the past.”
For years there have been many studies and debates on the benefits of chiropractic care for children. In a recent study of 781 patients younger than 3 years of age, 85 percent of parents reported improvement. And 73.5 percent of the patients were 12 weeks of age or younger when they began care. Studies have also shown pediatric chiropractic treatment to help not only with back and neck pain, but with colic, bedwetting and asthma.
