Chiropractic care can be personalized to anyone, including children and infants, depending on their needs. However, many people have reservations about bringing their child to a chiropractor. To help ease your mind and bring awareness to the effectiveness of chiropractic for children, we’ve answered a few of your top questions about children and infant chiropractic care below.
What issues can chiropractic treatment help address for children?
Children and infant chiropractic can address many different issues. The most obvious problem is spinal misalignment, but chiropractic care can also help with sleep problems, immune system health, and more.
Is children and infant chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractors go through special training to work on children and infants. This special training makes chiropractic care safe for your child, so you don’t have to worry about a safety risk.
How long will my child’s adjustment take?
Chiropractic adjustments are typically pretty quick— the process usually only takes five to ten minutes. Pediatric chiropractic is no exception to this, so your child likely won’t have to spend a long time on the chiropractic table.
Will taking my child to a physical therapist achieve the same results?
Though there can be similarities, chiropractic care and physical therapy aren’t the same thing. Chiropractic care takes a deeper look into the nervous system at work, so you won’t be able to replace chiropractic treatment with physical therapy.
