Is chiropractic safe for children?
Illness, gut issues, allergies, asthma, and other diseases in childhood seem to be constantly under the spotlight of late.
​
As a Chiropractor our role is not to “cure” anything but rather to focus on the functioning of central nervous system.
​
When the CNS is at optimal function this then enables the body to use its own innate ability to co-ordinate healing and better function of all organs ensuring overall well-being.
​
In Australia, a skilled Chiropractor would modify the force applied to child’s spine based on the age and developmental stage of that child.
​
At Posture Chiropractic, we only work on children aged from 6 months old.
​
This means that children will not receive a high impact manipulation, which is what I believe, most parents are concerned about.
​
It is also good for you to know how highly regulated Chiropractic Care is in Australia.
​
The 5 year full time Chiropractic training covers subjects such as physiotherapy, osteopathy and even general medical training, thus showing how closely aligned and complimentary these practices are.
​
Our end game is to ensure overall well-being for our patients, according to
Dr. Jennifer Barham-Floreani.
