Chiropractic and Osteopathic treatments are perfectly safe for kids. The rough and tumble of kids growing up, playing sport, climbing, jumping, wrestling with one another and generally trying new things can lead to spinal strains or pelvic imbalance just like adults.

 

Kids have the same muscles and bones as adults, just smaller. Like adults, kids are subject to the same laws of physics, therefore, they too can suffer injury and their musculoskeletal system can be stuck out of balance.

 

Because children are smaller and far more subtle than adults, Chiropractic, and Osteopathic treatment techniques accordingly are more gently performed. Being so subtle kids are far easier to manipulate therefore requiring far less force and respond more quickly to treatment.
