Chiropractic care is safe, effective, and important for infants and children as well as adults. If you suspect that there might be a musculoskeletal issue with your child or if your child is old enough to be complaining of pain it’s important that you have them come in for a chiropractic evaluation and examination. Addressing musculoskeletal issues as they arise is important in preventing the issue from becoming a chronic one that your child may deal with later in life. In addition to musculoskeletal issues, chiropractic care is also known to help in treating symptoms associated with ADD, ADHD, allergies, digestive issues, postural problems, asthma.

It’s a good idea to have your infant checked for spinal misalignments as even a natural birth can be a traumatic event. Early detection of these misalignments may prevent your child from developing musculoskeletal and/or neurological issues in the future.

Dr. Block and Dr. McDonald are both members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and have been trained to treat infants and children. Pediatric adjustments, especially for infants, are very specific and gentle, often only requiring a small amount of pressure from one finger.

In addition, we have fun with our pediatric patients, we work hard to make the experience fun for them and not intimidating. All of our staff are trained to work closely with children and we have created an environment here at Block Chiropractic that is very “kid friendly.”
