Kids & Chiropractic
A normal hospital delivery in the United States is associated with an 80% chance of injury and a 10% chance of death. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at, or prior to birth, many parents elect to have their child’s spine evaluated right after birth. Structural Shifts in your child’s spine may delay Developmental Milestones such as: learning to hold up the head, sitting upright, crawling, standing and walking.

- disturbed sleeping patterns
- breastfeeding difficulties in the very young
