Chiropractic Care for Children
Thursday, June 30, 2011
Throughout my career, many people have asked me about the effectiveness and safety of chiropractic neurology care for children. At Portland Chiropractic Neurology, we treat a lot of children from newborns and toddlers to teens and young adults. We commonly see and help treat children with ear infections, scoliosis, sever's disease (ankle/calcaneal pain), athletic injuries, headaches/migraines, breast feeding issues, gastric (stomach) issues, and traditional neck/back pain.
Chiropractic Neurological care for children is extremely safe and is highly recommended periodically throughout your child’s life to check up on your child's proper spinal development. If there are any abnormalities like scoliosis, early treatment at a young age, can greatly improve or correct the condition. Most commonly, children respond very quickly and do not require the same intensity and/or length of treatment that is needed for adults. Generally, it is much better to treat an issue earlier in development than to allow a child to develop poor structural habits that will plague them in adulthood. If you would like to schedule a consultation for your child, please call our office to arrange a visit.
