How safe is chiropractic for a child?
Chiropractic
is one of the safest forms of children’s
health care. A chiropractor does not adjust a baby or a child
the same way as he or she adjusts an adult. A baby’s
spine is very supple during the first few months of life,
so the doctor of chiropractic applies only a slight pressure
to make an adjustment. For older children whose spine is
still made of mainly cartilage, slight pressure followed
by a gentle push is all that is required to put the vertebra
back in place.
