Chiropractors commonly see patients with neck pain and headaches that can, at least in part, be blamed on the countless hours people spend sitting at computer work stations. As the work world has evolved (or devolved?) into primarily sedentary tasks, so has the educational environment for many adolescents, who are now also spending far too much time on computers (not to mention video games etc.). This age group was the focus of this study.

I felt compelled to write this article due to the nature of the case presentation, the vast number of nursing mothers who could find help through chiropractic and to encourage these women not to give up breast-feeding their babies. Recently, a new mom who entered my office with musculoskeletal complaints relating to her thoracic and lumbar regions. During my usual consultation and history, we discussed an interesting issue brought up by the patient as a concern. I do not believe she thought I could do anything about the problem she was experiencing; she just brought it up as part of our consultation.

Today there are more than 60,000 doctors of chiropractic licensed in the United States. Many of those DCs are also active leaders in the Boy Scouts, have children who are in local troops, and were scouts themselves. In addition, for more than 22 years, DCs have provided scouts with physical evaluations to ensure they are healthy and fit enough to fully enjoy the scouting experience. Doctors of chiropractic and the Boy Scouts have had a long and successful relationship, so I was disturbed to learn that as of January 2010, the 22-year legacy of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the chiropractic profession will be cast aside by a new policy that discriminates against chiropractic by prohibiting DCs from performing the mandatory physical evaluations required of all scouts. The new policy will allow only medical doctors, osteopaths, nurse practitioners or physician's assistants to perform these exams.

Objective: Investigation into the alleviation of long-term effects of infant colic on the toddler is a neglected area of research. The aim of this study was to document any behavioral or sleep disturbances experienced by post-colicky toddlers who were previously treated with chiropractic care vs. those who had not experienced this treatment as an infant
