The Tucson Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Tucson

Dr. Richard Asks some important questions of interest to Tucson residents - Chiropractor Tucson Dr. Richard Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Tucson folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Can a chiropractor heal?
There's never been a case in which a doctor (chiropractor or otherwise) has formed scar tissue, mended a broken bone or cured a headache. Only you can do that. Turns out you're the doctor! All I do is help remove interferences to your body's healing ability. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Autism-Mercury Link

Children's health issues image.

Remember the Mad Hatter from the childhood classic, Alice in Wonderland? Back then, the process of making hats involved using mercury compounds. Overexposure could produce symptoms referred to as being "mad."

Could there be a link between mercury and today’s increase in the number of autistic children?

Autism is a developmental disability that affects, often severely, a person's ability to communicate and socially interact with others. Interestingly, it is four times more prevalent in males than females.

In the 1990’s, reported autism cases among American children began spiking, from about 1 in 10,000 in 1987, to a shocking 1 in 166 today!

Some believe autism is merely a developmental disorder that some people are born with. Yet, in recent years, an increasing number of innoculations containing a mercury-based preservative called Thimerosal have been added to the nation’s already burdensome vaccination list. About this same time, some parents noticed that their previously healthy children were descending into a silent, disturbed and physically ill state soon after receiving vaccinations.

If there is a connection, as some parents assert, chiropractic care may help in a couple of ways:

  1. By helping to avoid or reduce the number of inoculations. Many parents choose to enhance their child’s (and their own!) immune systems with regular chiropractic care.
  2. By optimizing the nervous system. Reducing biomechanical stress to the nervous system gives autistic children a better chance of becoming all that they can be.
