Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes. Chiropractic care for kids is both safe and gentle. Our Doctors of Chiropractic use age-appropriate techniques, including soft tissue therapy and light adjustments, to support your child’s development. This drug-free, non-invasive approach helps improve function and relieve discomfort without the use of medication or surgery.
When it comes to babies, chiropractic adjustments are incredibly gentle, similar to the pressure used to check the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no cracking or popping, just light, sustained pressure.
Why would my child need a chiropractor?
Children benefit from chiropractic care in many ways. From soothing colic and relieving ear infections to supporting posture and mobility, chiropractic care helps growing bodies stay balanced and healthy.
What age can children begin seeing a chiropractor?
Children can be seen by a chiropractor as soon as they are born. Chiropractic care helps newborns recover from the stress of labor and delivery and acclimate to life outside the womb.
