Fever
Adjusting the febrile pediatric patient.
Peet, JB Chiropractic Pediatrics, 1996; Vol 2 No.3: 11-12.
This
is the study of a three year old female with recurring fever
of unknown origin once or twice per month. The girl had suffered
from repeated sinus and upper respiratory infections during
her first year of life and had been given aspirin and other
medications to lower the fever. The child began chiropractic
care and during the next eight months she had only two additional
fever episodes.
Kinematic imbalances due to suboccipital strain
in newborns. Biedermann H. J. Manual Medicine 1992, 6:151-156.
The
author had treated more than 600 babies for suboccipital strain;
135 who were available for follow-up were reviewed in this
case series report.
The suboccipital strain’s main symptoms include torticollis,
fever of unknown origin, loss of appetite and other symptoms
of CNS disorders, swelling of one side of the facial soft
tissues, asymmetric development of the skull, hips, crying
when the mother tried to change the child’s position,
and extreme sensitivity of the neck to palpation. Most patients
in the series required one to three adjustments before returning
to normal. “Removal of suboccipital strain is the fastest
and most effective way to treat the symptoms...one session
is sufficient in most cases. Manipulation of the occipito-cervical
region leads to the disappearance of problems....”
