If you're not sure about chiropractic care for pediatric patients, here are some of the most common questions you might have.

Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care Safe?

Pediatric chiropractic care is safe and effective for the majority of children. We're careful to assess your child and take a medical history, so we can let you know if there's any reason chiropractic care might not be advised. There are very few conditions that contraindicate chiropractic treatment. In the overwhelming majority of cases, we can gently realign your children's spines and joints to reduce pain and help them keep moving freely and comfortably.

Can Chiropractic Care Help with Growing Pains?

One of the ways chiropractic care can help is through treating what are commonly called “growing pains.” This discomfort comes from the rapid development that children go through as they grow. By keeping everything properly aligned through chiropractic visits, you can reduce any problems with growing pains and help your children feel better and healthier overall. There's no reason to let growing pains get in the way of playing sports, having adventures, and just enjoying life.

What Should I Expect at the Appointment?

We'll talk with you and your children to find out about the pain they're experiencing and how long it's been going on. Then, we'll assess their condition and look for the source of the discomfort. If you have questions, we're happy to answer them. As part of diagnosing your children’s condition, we may also ask for X-rays or further testing if your children have medical conditions, just to reduce any possible risks.
