Chiropractic for Children
What to expect on your child’s first visit
Removal of stress to the nervous system by using gentle spinal adjustments improves the alignment and function of the body’s structure and this explains the positive effect that chiropractic may have on a variety of paediatric conditions.
As with adults, a history will be taken and a physical examination of the child’s spine and related areas will be performed.
X-rays will not generally be ordered under the age of 12.
If chiropractic care is considered appropriate for the child, then a course of treatment will be recommended to promote optimal spinal function.
