Is Chiropractic care appropriate for children?
Since significant trauma can occur at birth, many parents choose to have their newborns checked for any spinal health related problems. Later, learning to walk, riding a bicycle and other childhood activities can cause spinal health related problems. While a bandage and some comforting words can help a skinned knee, the potential underlying structural damage to the child’s spine, skull, pelvis and extremities is the unique domain of a Chiropractor.
Many childhood health complaints brushed off as ‘growing pains’ may be traced to the spine. Naturally, Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to a child’s spine.
