Chiropractor for Infants and Children
Chiropractic Care
Today we find more and more parents bringing their children to Doctors of Chiropractic for spinal check-ups. Many patients ask, “why would I take my toddler to the OKC chiropractor, what could be wrong with my child’s spine?”
Anything from a traumatic birth, which has become a progressively invasive procedure, to the daily slips and falls in the early months and years of a child’s development, can upset the normal functioning of the spine and produce a vast amount of issues. Various sources can include birth canal trauma, falls, automobile accidents, excessive motion, unsupported head and neck motion and even emotional issues, like fear and anxiety, can lead to dangerous stressors causing interference in a child’s spine.
