Pediatric Chiropractic Specialist (why babies need chiropractic too)
The process of treating babies differs from treating an adults as it does not require a thrust but instead a gentle pressure. It takes extra training and experience to become a pediatric chiropractic specialist. This is why not all chiropractors treat babies or children. Since babies and children tend to hold their chiropractic adjustments longer they do not need to come in as frequently as an adult. For babies without any of the conditions listed below, we tend to only see them when they present with symptoms, hit their growth spurts and their milestones (starting to sit, crawl and walk). Scroll below to see why children need chiropractic too. baby chiropractor
