The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association's (ICPA) ground breaking study,
The Chiropractic Care of Children was published June 2010 in the prestigious, biomedical
journal, The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Healing. The objective of
this study was to characterize the practice of pediatric chiropractic.
The results of the study determined children's visits addressed common conditions
of childhood, with a prominent motivator for wellness care. The study also revealed
that the majority of chiropractors surveyed had a working relationship with allopathic
practitioners.
The authors concluded: "To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest
database to characterize the practice of pediatric chiropractic in North America.
With continuing popularity and utilization of chiropractic for adults and their
children, we support further studies to examine the safety and effectiveness of
pediatric chiropractic."
Dr. Joel Alcantara, ICPA Research Director and presenting author said, "We are pleased
that a major CAM Journal respects the importance of chiropractic care for children
and we foresee greater collaboration with the CAM community on the importance of
chiropractic care for children."
