Langley Chiropractic for Kids
Chiropractic care for kids has been practiced for over 100 years and children can greatly benefit from it! It is important to note that techniques for children are safe and force is proportionate to their size. Therefore, much less force is used on children as compared to adults. Kids aren’t always vocal when it comes to their specific spinal issues and they could manifest into a number of different signs and symptoms as listed below.
