Are adjustments safe for children?
There is no patient too young or too old to receive chiropractic care! Even newborns can benefit from chiropractic care due to the physical stress caused by routine labor. Conditions such as colic can also be treated through chiropractic care! The physical demands of growth and development alone can cause damage and misalignment to the spine, not to mention all the damage that can be caused as children learn to walk and explore their world. As the child gets older, their activities become more physically demanding, for example, learning to ride a bike, playing sports and other activities. Remember, subluxations can be present without symptoms. This is why it is important to schedule routine visits for children as they progress through development.
