Children?s Chiropractic Wellness Care

treatments are gentle and non-invasive. A chiropractor with specialized training in working with infants, children and adolescents will be better equipped to provide safe, effective care for your child. They will have additional knowledge of the biomechanics of the spine, allowing them to make precise adjustments without twisting or rotating the neck. They will also have a range of gentle techniques, such as the Activator Method and Craniosacral Therapy, which use very light touch to influence the system of membranes and fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

Many parents seek alternative medicine for their children due to word of mouth referrals, a desire to avoid side effects from pharmaceutical medications or because they believe in the holistic principles of healthcare. However, there is little robust scientific evidence that alternative therapies are safe or effective for most childhood conditions and they may actually cause harm by diverting resources away from proven interventions.

Physicians should be knowledgeable about the evidence supporting chiropractic for children and routinely ask patients about their use of complementary and alternative medicines. If a child is receiving chiropractic treatment, physicians should ask about the frequency of visits, if neck manipulations are used and whether herbal or homeopathic remedies are prescribed.
