Why do Kids see a Chiropractor?
Why take your child to a chiropractor? They can’t have a bad back.
Does your baby have back pain?
I hear it helps babies sleep, is this true?
Do you think it helps with his posture?
That’s interesting, why do you do that?

If your kiddo is wetting the bed, struggling to sleep, or woken by night terrors - it’s time for a check up.
If your child has epic meltdowns, can’t self sooth, and struggles to behave - its time for a check up.
If your child struggles in school, can’t pay attention, has difficulty following directions, and has messy handwriting - it’s time for a check up.
If your teen plays contact sports, is constantly pushing himself physically, and is growing like a weed - it’s time for a check up.
If your teen is tired all the time, constantly on her phone, and complaining of neck and head aches - it’s time for a check up.
