As a parent, your child’s health is your top priority. But when it comes to chiropractic care, many parents ask: is chiropractic safe for kids? At Herron Family Chiropractic, we understand your concerns, and we’re here to provide the facts.
Understanding Pediatric Chiropractic
Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on the safe, gentle adjustment of the spine and joints to support a child’s development. Children often experience physical stress during birth, growth spurts, and as they explore the world through crawling, walking, falling, and playing. These moments can cause small misalignments in the spine, called subluxations, which may interfere with the nervous system and overall well-being.
Is Chiropractic Safe for Infants and Children?
According to research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, chiropractic care for children is safe when provided by a trained and licensed chiropractor. Our team in Cobourg is experienced in pediatric chiropractic and follows strict guidelines to ensure your child’s safety and comfort.
Some parents seek chiropractic care for issues such as:
- Colic and excessive crying
- Digestive problems
- Sleep disturbances
- Poor posture
- Frequent ear infections
- Growing pains
After receiving chiropractic care, many parents report improvements in their children’s overall health and behavior.
What Happens During a Child’s Chiropractic Visit?
A pediatric chiropractic visit at Herron Family Chiropractic begins with a comprehensive health history and physical exam. We take the time to understand your child’s specific needs and developmental stage. Adjustments are then performed gently and often accompanied by stretching and soft tissue techniques to encourage relaxation.
We do our best to make pediatric appointments fun and relaxing for the whole family. Most kids actually enjoy the process and look forward to their visits!
