“Checking a pediatric patient for subluxations, or misalignments in the spine, is very different than checking an adult. The amount of pressure used during a pediatric adjustment is the equivalent of checking a tomato for ripeness. My focus when working with my patients, regardless of age, is optimum function and health for that individual” Dr. Dodge shares.

Thank you for your continued support in the Carnation community!

"In chiropractic there is a saying: The power that made the body, heals the body. We are coming very close to a scientific appreciation and comprehension of this power, which exists in the individual’s nervous system, in their psyche.

There are several major gifts afforded by these brain-body discoveries that have re-vivified the importance of the psyche within our understanding of health and biol­ogy.

The first is in its scientific affirmation of the vitalistic paradigm which advances the major premise that life expresses intelligence—not malignancy or evil—and that the purpose of healthcare is to enhance the individual’s ability to express this innate intelligence."

—John Ohm, "The Power That Heals The Body"
