How Old Should You Be To Go To A Chiropractor?

Children and infants at any age can go to a chiropractor. If a mother notices that her newborn baby can only turn its head to one side, she can take it to the chiropractor for a very gentle neck adjustment. If a baby was born with a deformed spine or the spine got deformed due to a fall, or is asthmatic, or has some other condition, it can go to a chiropractor. Older children can be injured in sports or during play, and they can benefit from chiropractic treatment.

How Does A Chiropractor Adjust A Baby?

Pediatric chiropractic care involves taking pressure and nerve stress from the spine so that the little body can express itself naturally. It involves adjustment of the neck or the spine. It is as gentle as pressing avocado to check it for ripeness. There is no risk of any injury from chiropractic care. The real risk lies in not doing anything about a baby with problems or giving the baby drugs.
