“As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”

As your child’s bones grow, so does your child. At the ends of each bone are “growth plates.” It’s how bones grow. Growth plates tend to disappear in the late teens or early 20s, and further growth ends. The traumas associated with being born, learning to walk, riding a bike, participating in school athletics and other activities can affect the spine. Wise parents bring their child in for a chiropractic evaluation—even if there aren’t obvious symptoms.

Childhood spinal problems are easy to neglect. That’s because youngsters have a tremendous ability to adapt. Until they can’t. Usually decades later. That makes correcting these longstanding spinal patterns more difficult and time consuming.

We adapt our adjusting approach based on each child’s age, size and unique spinal problem. Newborns and infants receiving our care need no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
