How Safe are Chiropractic Visits for Children? Answers from Our Los Altos Chiropractor

People tend to associate chiropractic visits with adults, but these doctors can also treat children. From as early as birth, children can suffer from misalignments of the spine. It is easy to see who this might happen – the trauma of birth, falling when they learn to walk, the odd positions children can sleep in, running around, and being rough can all cause issues. Parents who are considering pediatric chiropractic care often have some questions. Here are a few common ones that might help you to decide if a chiropractor is right for your children:

What Can a Chiropractor do for Children?

A chiropractor in Los Altos can do adjustments to the child’s spine to encourage proper messages to be sent through the nerves. The Atlas adjustment is one that is commonly done by chiropractors shortly after birth. The entire spine might need to be realigned as the child grows. Getting started with chiropractic care at an early age can encourage optimal spine health throughout the child’s life.

Are Pediatric Chiropractic Treatments Safe?

The chiropractic adjustments that children receive are very light touches. They don’t cause any pain for the child. Chiropractors won’t use sharp or harsh techniques for children. In fact, these treatments are safer for children than commonly administered drugs for conditions and pain.

Pediatric chiropractic care can help to address common aches and pains that children have. It can also encourage proper sinus drainage, ear drainage, and help to treat common childhood ailments. Babies who have colic and sleeping problems can benefit from an adjustment. You can use chiropractic care in connection with conventional medical care so you don’t have to choose one or the other for your children.
