Things You'll Need:
Computer with Internet access
Treat Children Through Chiropractic Care
1
Visit the Web site for the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (see Resources below). There you'll find useful information about the kinds of relief you can expect to find for your child through chiropractic care.
2
View the information about pediatric care through chiropractic facilities. Look at the various symptoms treated and the reasons why you should take your child to see a chiropractor.
3
Use the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association Website to find chiropractors with specific credentials for treating children. If you don't see your chiropractor on the list and you want to remain with that practice, ask questions.
4
Find out how many children your personal chiropractor has treated and for what reasons. Feel comfortable about his or her level of experience before you take a chance with your child's well-being.
5
Learn more about pediatric chiropractic care by reading the book 'Pediatric Chiropractic' (see Resources below).
Tips & Warnings
Fees for each chiropractic visit will range from inexpensive to moderately priced.
Check out your chiropractor's credentials as they apply to children to make sure he or she has extensive experience adjusting juveniles. Kids have very unique needs and require unique treatment plans.
If your child develops any new symptoms or experiences severe reactions, such as vomiting or extreme pain, contact your child's medical doctor at once.
Children are incredibly resilient, and will 'shake off' the injuries of playground tussles. But sometimes a minor injury, particularly during specific growth periods, can lead to trouble in adulthood if not treated.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners are licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider and keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
