Yes, children can see a chiropractor, although the approach is very different from the treatment provided to adults.
Children’s bodies are constantly growing and developing, so any assessment or treatment is always gentle, age-appropriate and based on their individual needs.
Parents sometimes bring their children for an assessment if they’re concerned about posture, movement, sports-related injuries or musculoskeletal discomfort. As with every patient, the first step is a careful clinical assessment to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
If I believe another healthcare professional would be better suited to your child’s needs, I’ll explain my reasons and guide you accordingly.
Your child’s wellbeing will always come first.
