AS THE TWIG IS BENT, SO GROWS THE TREE!

Hello everyone! I’m back at the blog! There has been a great deal of interest in pediatric chiropractic care recently, so I thought I would post some information. This is especially near and dear to me because I was 8 years old when I first started seeing a chiropractor.  It also was the time when I stopped wetting the bed and no longer suffered from recurrent ear infections.  There is a great deal of evidence that supports the connection between chiropractic care and these types of changes in children’s health.

Is Chiropractic Safe for Children?

Chiropractic care for kids is not the same as adult adjustments.
