Do Kids Need Chiropractic Care in Brookline MA?

In our Brookline chiropractic office, we care for children of all ages. Chiropractic care has been proven extremely useful for treating sports injuries (including back, neck, shoulder, and knee sprain/strains). In addition, many parents bring their kids in for regular maintenance, or wellness, check-ups; they tend to report this helps lower the childrens’ incidence of colds, ear infections, sleep disturbances, etc.

Chiropractic care is not dangerous for kids, because the method of chiropractic care we use here in our office is called Activator Technique, which involves none of the strong manipulation of the spine sometimes used in other offices. It’s an advanced, high-tech technique that is extremely gentle. Patients who are not comfortable with getting their neck or back “cracked” love this method, because it does NOT hurt.

No, because our technical work is so gentle, we treat kids of all ages in our office: from babies and pre-school to high school athletes. For example, it’s good to detect spinal problems at an early age, before they may turn into something more serious like osteoarthritis.

As stated earlier, chiropractic care may help children of all ages with various problems. Most commonly, in our Brookline office we see back and neck pain, headaches, shoulder and knee problems; and have been able to curtail ear infections, sleep problems, asthma, and other disorders.
