There are a variety of reasons for a child to see a chiropractor. Many parents nowadays are choosing to be proactive with their children's health, rather than reactive. This fits perfectly within the scope of chiropractic, which is wellness based, proactive and preventative. Other common reasons for children to see a chiropractor are for difficulty nursing, colic, constipation and ear infections. These conditions are often caused by problems with the upper neck that may result because of birth trauma from C-section or forceps delivery. Parents also bring their children to the chiropractor to boost their immune system during cold/flu season.
