Chiropractic and children



Many chronic pain syndromes and other health problems seen in adults began during childhood, either as a result of physical trauma (fractures, falls, etc.) or other improper lifestyle habits.  For this reason, more and more parents today are seeking Chiropractic care for their children.

Our child is seen regularly by our pediatrician, why should we also frequent a Chiropractor?
Doctors of Chiropractic recognize the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners.  However, it is essential to recognize that Chiropractic offers something unique among the medical profession. 

As specialists in neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions, Chiropractors are trained to resolve many of the common conditions seen in childhood without the use of drugs or surgery.

What’s more, the Chiropractic approach is holistic, meaning that the entire state of a patient’s health is considered, not just the symptoms and local areas of pain.

What are some of the most common problems resolved by Chiropractic?
Residual effects of physical trauma
Back pain
Headache
Neck pain
Torticollis
Chronic fatigue
Asthma
Enuresis
Otitis media
TMJ malocclusion disorder
Scoliosis
Postural deviations

Is Chiropractic safe for children?
Yes, Chiropractic is both safe as well as effective. Most children enjoy the treatments.

How many treatments are required to resolve a problem?
Frequency depends on the condition. Some problems are resolved in as little as one or two visits. Others take more time, such as five or six visits.
Some parents wish to give their child regular maintenance care in order to prevent future problems and enhance their child’s well being.  Though each child is different, and Chiropractic styles vary, Dr. Morrison recommends at least one visit every six months to a year.

When is the best time for my child to begin seeing a Chiropractor?
The answer to this question is right now, before a small problem turns into a big problem. Unless a child has something evident like a head being constantly tilted to one side, or disturbed sleep pattern, most parents wouldn’t consider a visit to a Chiropractor. But the reality is many problems of the future can be prevented early on in life.
