It’s important to remember that a chiropractor cannot cure these conditions. However, they are trained to correct spinal problems that may impede nerve function and help improve the overall health of a child. Adults who receive chiropractic care know how rough an adjustment can be, which would understandably make parents hesitant to schedule a visit for their child. However, when administered to children or infants, chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to be far less forceful. Many children enjoy their visits to the chiropractor! The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association conducted a study of over 10,000 chiropractic visits with children in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The study found that few children experienced any discomfort or distress, and most children showed no adverse reaction to the adjustment. During their developing years, children can experience greater benefits from chiropractic care than adults. Regular adjustments can help keep the spine and skeletal structure in top condition, so your child can enjoy everything childhood offers, from first steps to the first day of school.
Trick question! There is no minimum age requirement for chiropractic treatment. A pediatric chiropractor can check a newborn infant’s spine shortly after delivery and help address any trauma caused by the stress of birth. From then on, regular visits to the chiropractor can greatly aid children in their development and help them overcome many of the aches and pains of childhood. These conditions include:
