Yes! Chiropractic is safe for people of any age, even new born babies. Pediatric adjustments are much lower force than adults, but just as effective! Chiropractic care for infants helps with things like colic, interrupted sleep patterns, constipation, and the list goes on. Why does it help with these things? Because vertebral subluxations have a significant impact on the physiological and neurolgical function of the body. By restoring balance to the structure, we restore balance to the nerve system, and the result is that the body resumes working the way it is designed to.
