Why Chiropractic
Children and infants are always discovering new things through play, as a result they are more likely to experience traumas from falls and bumps. Unlike adults, children have a harder time understanding and expressing their pain or discomfort. Chiropractic can help to relive tension form everyday stressors and increase a child’s body awareness. Meaning it is not only helpful after an injury but can help to prevent the injury from occurring.

How does it work
