When should your child visit a pediatric chiropractor?
A: Shortly after birth. Most subluxations or problems with the spine begin in utero and may be the result of the stress of the birth process or the position of the baby. It is good practice to be proactive and have a chiropractic assessment of your child to learn of any spinal problems so that they can be addressed immediately. The earlier an issue is found, the sooner it can be corrected—if not treated, spine issues can lead to a lifetime of unnecessary health concerns for your child.
Is pediatric chiropractic safe?
A: Yes. Chiropractic is a natural form of health practice. Just as you teach young children to brush and floss their teeth to prevent cavity and tooth decay, Dr. Levitz will educate you and your child on proper techniques for daily living activity such as sitting, standing, lifting, etc. to promote good habits for a healthy spine to last a lifetime.
