What Children's Health Day International is all about:

The WCA Children's Health Day International is about bringing health information to families in your neighborhood -- and introducing them to the benefits of chiropractic for ALL people, including children.

You can join doctors of chiropractic from around the world in this special one-day celebration of children's health. Following the simple "plan of action" developed by the World Chiropractic Alliance Council on Children's Health, you'll present a community program that provides valuable information about critical health issues such as:

With the WCA Children's Health Day International program, you get all the material and instructions you need to make this a success for your office and your community!

Why we're doing this:

Kids are important ... and their health and welfare is a major concern for all health care practitioners and advocates. 

Unfortunately, children in all nations are at risk from a staggering number of infectious diseases and conditions. Making things worse is the frightening increase in iatrogenic incidents.

Parents are alarmed by news of possible links between vaccines and autism, the overuse and abuse of antibiotics for otitis media, the shameful misuse of Ritalin and growth hormones, and the lack of proper testing of drugs given to children. They are aware that medical errors needlessly kill as many as 98,000 Americans annually – more than from highway accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. 

They are looking for something better, and many of them are finding chiropractic to be a safe and effective alternative.

The World Chiropractic Alliance strongly supports the right of parents to seek and obtain chiropractic care for all their children, regardless of age or presence or absence of symptoms.

The care of children is consistent with recommended chiropractic guidelines, as set forth in the Council on Chiropractic Practice “Clinical Practice Guideline Number 1, Vertebral Subluxation in Chiropractic Practice,” included in the National Guideline Clearinghouse. This document, which has been widely embraced by the chiropractic profession, states: “Since Vertebral Subluxation may affect individuals at any age, Chiropractic care may by indicated at any time after birth  As with any age group, however, care must be taken to select adjustment methods most appropriate to the patient’s stage of development and overall spinal integrity.  Parental education by the Subluxation-centered Chiropractor concerning the importance of evaluating children for the presence of vertebral Subluxation is encouraged.”

Ample documented evidence is available that chiropractic care is safe for children and can have beneficial effects on health and fitness from newborn to adult stages. But, too many people don't know how chiropractic can benefit their children (or have been led to believe chiropractic is for adults with back pain only!).

WCA Children’s Health Day International wants to change that!

Best of all, the entire program is FREE for all WCA members (non-members may obtain the program for single-event use for just $99).
