The Oklahaven Children's Chiropractic Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma has produced a video of patient testimonials from parents who's children were treated at Oklahaven. The children suffered from, among other diseases, asthma, cerebral palsy, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The video tracks the children's progress with chiropractic treatment, including the story of a child deemed hopeless at birth who is now walking and playing.
Dr. Gilbert Rivera, president of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, donated $5,000 to assist with the production of the video, and to help the 34-year-old Oklahaven Center continue its mission to give chiropractic care to children with health problems.
The Oklahaven video is available for a $45 donation (tax-deductible). The funds should be directed to: Oklahaven Children's Chiropractic Center, 4500 N. Meridian, Oklahoma City, OK 73112.
