There is no age requirement for chiropractic care. The only requirement is that you have a spine. All of my kids have received chiropractic care the day they were born. In fact, about 1 hour after their birth they received their first chiropractic adjustment.

The birth process can be traumatic. The task of the medical staff during a birth is to get the baby out and to insure the health and safety of mom and baby. Many times the birth process can cause too much twisting of the neck. In my experience children that were born with the use of c-section, forceps or suction have a greater need for chiropractic correction. My wife and I have 3 children. She delivered them all natural without any medications. My kids still benefited from chiropractic care after birth. Many newborns can get stuck in the birthing canal and arrive with bumps, bruises and sometimes broken bones. It is always beneficial to get the newborns checked by a chiropractor.

Over the last 12 years, as a practicing chiropractor, I can tell you of great experiences treating children and even newborns. In my office all newborns are checked at no charge up to the age of 1. Why is that? Most people would not think to take their newborns to the chiropractor unless they understand the damaging affects of a subluxation. It is my goal to have children grow as healthy as possible and without the use of medications during that process.

I have helped with the following conditions with children:

Asthma
Allergies
Recurring ear infections (otitis media)
Bed wetting
Constipation
Frequent colds

In my office, it is encouraged that the entire family get adjusted 1-2 times each month for optimal wellness and preventative care. For any more specific questions, please contact me via e-mail or directly at the office.
