If extrapolated for the rest of the United States and Canada, the number of chiropractic visits to children in one year would be enormous. Numbering several million visits. Given this high utilization rate of pediatric services in the United States and Canada, statistics should indicate a great number of morbidity and mortality. On the contrary, there exists little evidence of harm to children from chiropractic. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I.C.P.A.

Chiropractic is important from birth throughout adulthood. After reading this page we are sure you

The first question most parents ask about chiropractic care for children
is "WHY"? After all, some people believe that only adults with neck or
back problems need a chiropractor. But parents do well to look into this
safe, natural form of healthcare for their children too. In fact, the first
spinal misalignment, known as a "subluxation", usually occurs during
the birthing process. Forceps, vacuum extraction and C-Section delivery
can all result in spinal misalignments. Even with so-called "natural"
birthing methods, the pulling and twisting of an infant's tiny spine can
stress their developing nervous system. EVERY CHILD should be

checked after birth, to prevent permanent damage that can begin after just two (2) weeks of their life.
This accumulated damage can have lifelong consequences for your child.

Many parents seek care for their children of all ages because of trauma
from an injury. Because children live active, energetic lives, their
playfulness provides ample opportunity for misalignments. How many
times does a child who is learning to walk, fall on their bottom? What
about a child learning to ride a bike? Spinal subluxations, do to trauma,
can interfere with the normal development of your child's nervous
system, immunity, strength and mental health.. As they grow into teens,
hormonal changes that take place will be regulated by the brain and
nervous system. It will be essential to keep that system healthy and
free of interference to avoid health issues now and in the future.

Since spinal misalignments may or may not result in immediate pain
or symptoms, it's important to have regular chiropractic checkups.
Often pain is the last symptom to show up, but just like a cavity, the
damage could already be done. Many parents appreciate the
importance of regular checkups for their child’s teeth, eyes, hearing
and so on, but draw a blank when it comes to a spinal checkup for

Other signs of a spinal subluxation can be colic, ear infections,
asthma, bedwetting, ADD, ADHD, allergies and headaches (just to
name a few). Since the nervous system controls and coordinates
every child's body, any type of interference to this system can result in
a number of different health concerns. A chiropractic adjustment
restores body balance and nervous system function, allowing the
body to do the work it was designed to do. It is important to
understand that chiropractors do not treat conditions or diseases.
These specialized doctors are experts at checking your child's spine
for misalignments that impair their overall body function. Chiropractic
is safe, all-natural healthcare. Since it does not utilize drugs or
surgery, the potentially harmful side effects of treatment are avoided.

pains” or "simply a phase they are going through".Look for a child's warning signs: chronic fatigue,

trained to check for subluxations, so a wellness checkup is recommended to catch spinal problems

often and miss fewer days of school.
Many parents want to know, "Is Chiropractic Safe For My Child"? The answer is a resounding "YES"!
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has conducted a number of studies with
outstanding results, showing chiropractic care to be very safe for children. After taking a thorough health
history and performing an examination, our doctors will determine if spinal subluxations exist.
Chiropractic adjustments are modified to fit each child's size, weight and condition. They are very gentle,
even as light as a finger touch on very young children. Each adjustment is specific to their developing
spinal structures. Most parents report that their children enjoy the adjustments and look forward to
returning to see their doctors. So give your child the opportunity to be a "Chiropractic Kid" and
experience the great results chiropractic will bring to your children.
