The Famous ChiroPediatric Top 7 

Top 7 Questions to Shift the Credibility 
from the Pediatrician to the Chiropractor 
 
When most parents bring their children in for chiropractic care, 
they are faced with a pediatrician that is not supportive.  Many 
times the parents trust in the allopathic system interferes with 
their chiropractic care.  This list is part of a process that will 
more than level the playing field.  It will plant doubt in the 
parents mind of their medical beliefs and increase their 
confidence in chiropractic. The thrust of this approach is to ask 
questions, be subtle and direct, not condescending and use 
proper timing. 
 
1.	When a parent is holding a prescription for an antibiotic for 
their child's first ear infection ask this question.  "Is your 
pediatrician following the federal guidelines published by our 
government that suggests that antibiotics should not be the first 
approach?"  Pause and let the parent answer the question. Then 
respond, "Why do you think that your pediatrician did not share 
that with you?" 
 
2.	After the parent fills out the new patient pediatric history 
form 
and your asking a few follow up questions, ask a question such as 
this, "Did your baby nurse equally from one breast as to the other?" 
(suggesting subluxation and range of motion). Pause and let the 
parent answer the question.  Then respond, "Did your pediatrician 
ask you this question?"  The answer is always no and then move on. 
 
3.	Another question to ask during the history is one like this. 
"Did your child ever fall off their bed or take a tumble down the 
stairs?" Pause and let the parent answer, then respond, "Did your 
pediatrician ask you that?  After the answer move on. 
 
4.	When performing a surface EMG (subluxation station) pediatric 
chiropractic examination ask this question.  "Did your pediatrician 
perform this test on your child?" The answer is always no, then 
move 
on with the next test. 
 
5.	When checking the child's A-P and lateral posture ask, "Did 
your pediatrician check your child's spine this way?"  After they 
answer move on to the rest of the exam. 
 
6.	When performing a skin temperature measurement, ask the 
same question, "Did your pediatrician do this test."  Respond, 
"Interesting" then move on. 
 
7.	When a parent is frustrated that their child is on their 7th 
dose of  antibiotics for reoccurring ear infections ask this 
question.  "Is your pediatrician aware of  the JAMA article 
that demonstrates that children that take antibiotics for otitis 
media have 2-6 times more reoccurrences than the children 
that took the placebo?" After the parent responds no ask, 
"Does your pediatrician keep up on the latest research and 
information concerning your child?"   
 
You will appreciate that the parent will see that you do 
something very different than their pediatrician and that 
what you are doing is logical and makes sense. The parent 
will realize that you are very thorough and informative 
compared to their pediatrician who did not ask the 
appropriate questions nor perform the necessary tests to 
detect vertebral subluxation.  Remember, keep rapport with 
the parent and don't over do it. In our practice after parents 
get over the frustration and expense of having their kids sick 
and on drugs frequently, and now as a result of chiropractic 
care their kids are healthy and off the drugs, 75 percent of 
our patients never go back to their pediatrician unless it is 
for a life threatening situation. When parents answer 
questions instead of being lectured to, they begin to shift and 
own the concepts. These strategies will help parents adopt 
the chiropractic lifestyle for their children's health care.  
Obviously after a couple of weeks, chiropractic results will 
speak louder than anything but this will help get you there 
quicker.
