Ped-Ex News to Use:
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care For A Nine-Year-Old Male With Tourette Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Depression, Asthma, Insomnia, and Headaches: A Case Report The onset of symptoms soon after the boy’s delivery; the immediate reduction in symptoms correlating with the initiation of care; and the complete absence of symptoms within six weeks of care; suggest a link between the patient’s traumatic birth, the upper cervical subluxation, and his neurological conditions. Further investigation into upper cervical trauma as a contributing factor to Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, depression, insomnia, headaches, and asthma should be pursued. JVSR July 12, 2003, pp. 1-11

Women need better information about routine mammography Scientists continue to argue about the benefits of breast screening, but ultimately decisions about screening should be made by women themselves. To make this decision, however, women need to fully understand both the benefits and the potential harms. BMJ 2003;327:101-103 (12 July)
A Call for Case Studies
We are asking all members for recent cases in pregnancy utilizing the Webster Technique. We will work with you ono-on-one to compile your office notes and write the cases up for a case series we are preparing. Please e-mail us this week at: info@icpa4kids.com if you have had a Webster Case for malpresentation in your office within the past nine months.
Blessings to you all for who you are and what you do!!
