Why Chiropractic For Children?
Many of the chronic spinal health problems that adults struggle with began as a result of injuries sustained during early childhood.
Childhood Injuries That Can Affect Spinal Health In A Child?
Injuries that can impact a child’s spinal health and development include; birth trauma, forceps, breech pregnancy or labour, falls down the stairs, a tackle while playing football, hockey injury, fall off the balance beam, a slip off a skateboard, car accidents or even just sitting slouched over a computer or video game console for hours on end. Each of these traumas can have an impact on the health of a developing spine.
What Is Involved In A Pediatric Chiropractic Check-Up?
At the exam our pediatric doctor does a very detailed assessment. A wide range of tests are performed, including a postural scan for scoliosis, primitive reflexes and a series of joint function tests. Our examination consists of roughly 30 tests, all of which will give a detailed clinical picture of your child. Our care is gentle and safe.
What Is The Next Step?
Contact our office and schedule your child in for a new patient assessment, which takes about 45 minutes.
Key takeaways
- The sooner you get your child checked the better.
- We check children as early as the first few days following labour.
