Children Get Special Chiropractic Treatment In Clarence & Williamsville, NY

We can provide treatment for children appropriate to their size and needs. Spinal adjustments for children are different from adjustments for adults. Your chiropractor places very gentle pressure on the spine of children to correct problems and help allow the spine to develop properly. As with adults, your child should feel little or no discomfort. Children usually respond quickly to light adjustments and other chiropractic treatment. These might include exercises designed to help your child develop strong muscles, along with instruction in good nutrition, posture and sleeping habits.

How Treatment is Determined

Your doctor of chiropractic will ask you questions about your child's birth and development. Did anything unusual occur during the birth? At what age did your child begin to crawl, stand, and walk? Any serious falls or injuries? An examination will then determine if your child's posture and movements are proper. Reflexes and range-of-motion will be checked, along with any unusual curvature of the spine which could suggest possible scoliosis. If needed, your doctor of chiropractic will refer your child to another specialist, such as a pediatrician.
