The best answer for that is, sometimes. We see many children in our practice for all different reasons. The most common being for problems arising following a fall or sporting injury. Many young children also suffer from headaches and back pain. Another problem that we also see frequently is ear infections. All of these conditions can respond very well to chiropractic care and we are happy to discuss this option with parents. Kids tend to like chiropractic because its pain free, drug free and a fun experience all round.
One important aspect to remember is that many problems that are seen in adults actually start from traumas that occurred as children. Even mild traumas can have a lasting effect. We have a saying in health care that “your body keeps score.” Small problems add up over the years, and it’s best to catch them early.
If you are under chiropractic care for a problem that came on slowly and/or for no apparent reason, you should ask your chiropractic physician if he or she feels that your children should be checked. Its quick, painless and may stave off problems in the long run. Please e-mail any questions.
