Long before 2020 ever showed up, those of us taking care of kids in clinical practice knew one thing – we were already in a pandemic. And while a pandemic that affects any portion of the population is one we never wish to face, this one was hitting us where it hurts the most – our kids.

In just 1-2 generations (not near enough time for genetics to actually change much at all), rates of chronic illness in kids have been rising quickly to absolutely horrendous, troubling levels.

● ADHD & Behavior Problems in kids range from 10-15% and climbing
● Anxiety in kids was 11.6%, then nearly doubled to 20.5% due to the pandemic
● Depression in kids was 8.5%, then more than doubled to 25.2% due to the pandemic
● Overall mental illness in kids now affects 1 in 6 kids and is climbing rapidly
● Autism rates have increased 241% since just 2000, now affecting 1 in 44 kids

But it’s not just the statistics that are alarming. Behind each number is a child, a family, a story. These children are facing challenges that extend far beyond their immediate health issues – challenges that impact their ability to learn, socialize, and enjoy a normal childhood.

What’s driving this worrying trend? A complex mix of environmental, dietary, lifestyle, and possibly genetic factors are at play, creating a perfect storm that’s affecting our children’s health. And while we’re still unraveling the intricate web of causes, one thing is clear: the need for proactive, comprehensive approaches to pediatric healthcare has never been greater.

At Purpose Driven Chiropractic, we understand that every child is unique, and so are the health challenges they face.

This is why our approach is different. We focus on:

Neurological Assessments: We believe an optimal functioning nervous system holds the key to unlocking your child’s potential to live a full and healthy life. We use the innovative CLA INSiGHT scan technology to assess your child’s nervous system and where they’re “stuck”.

Individualized Care: Recognizing that each child’s health journey is distinct, we offer personalized care plans tailored to meet their specific needs.

Team-Based Approach: Our team of highly trained pediatric doctors look beyond the symptoms to address the root causes of health issues, integrating nervous system-based chiropractic care with into your child’s health journey. Our team-based approach allows for the creation of nuanced, personalized treatment plans and guarantees consistent, high-quality care.

Empowering Families: We believe in equipping families with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their child’s health, fostering a supportive environment for healing and growth.

The rise in childhood chronic illnesses is more than a statistic; it’s a call to action. By addressing these issues head-on with targeted, compassionate care, we aim to reverse these trends and help our children lead healthier, happier lives.
