Your brain and nervous system control everything. If you’re experiencing pain, fatigue, sleep issues, digestion issues, focus/concentration issues, blood sugar issues, or flexibility issues, chiropractic may be able to help.

Is chiropractic treatment safe for babies?

Assuming no structural or neurological abnormalities, chiropractic is generally extremely safe for children. I recommend the whole family receives adjustments on a regular basis for brain and body wellness. I’ve delivered light-force adjustments to both of my nephews within 2 weeks of being born. I’ve also given treatment to multiple different children of all age ranges my entire career. Besides wellness care, there are many reasons parents bring their children in, such as: trouble sleeping, trouble feeding, colic/vomiting often, irregular bowel movements, and ear infections, to name a few.

Can a chiropractor help with a fractured vertebrae?

Not with adjustments, but after it’s healed, be sure to disclose that if you see a chiropractor in the future. Some chiropractic offices might have infrared therapy and/or supplements that help speed up healing times, but you can’t get an adjustment on that broken vertebrae. When it’s healed and stable it can be helpful to get treatments from the chiropractor for the rest of your spine and body.

You can still see a chiropractor, but you will have to avoid manual adjustments in the neck. Some chiropractors use an instrument (activator, arthrostim, impulse for example) that’s lower force and doesn’t require any ‘twisting’ or ‘cracking’ of the neck and those are safe to use on the neck. I would look for a doctor that utilizes one of those instruments.
