Do Children Need Chiropractic Care?


At Matthews Family Chiropractic Clinic, the reception room walls are decorated with a photo collage of smiling young patients and a collection of their artwork.  The sounds of a Veggie Tales video and Christian music blend harmoniously with children’s laughter and yet they do not phase the doctor’s intense concentration.  It’s how Drs. John and Mechelle Hanna have built one of the largest pediatric practices in the nation.  Their reputation for successfully saving so many children from allergies, asthma, ear tube surgeries and infections, colic behavior problems and ADHD medications is spreading far and wide.  Dr. John, past president of the North Carolina Pediatric Association, and his wife, Dr. Mechelle, are extensively trained in the field of chiropractic pediatrics; both safely administer specific gentle adjustments on infants as young as one day old.  On subluxation, Abraham Towbin, MD, Neuropathologist, Harvard Medical School, says that research indicates that the major cause of spinal kinesiopathology (poor or abnormal movement) in infants is childbirth and its widespread incidents during infancy.  We believe that stressing the need for correction from birth so the irreversible subluxation degeneration changes do not occur is paramount.
