No one is too young or too old for care at our practice. Adjustments for little ones use only very light pressure.
This is the question every parent asks, and it is the right question. Adjusting a child bears almost no resemblance to adjusting an adult. There is no forceful movement and no popping.
The pressure used on an infant is roughly what you would use to test whether a tomato is ripe. It is light, specific, and brief. Most children find it unremarkable, and many fall asleep.
You stay with your child throughout. Dr. Eveline explains what she is checking and what she intends to do before she does it, and she works at the pace your child is comfortable with.
Visits are short. Children generally respond faster than adults, so care tends to be brief.
Parents most often come in with questions about comfort, sleep, posture, and the effects of falls, sports, and heavy backpacks as children get older.
If chiropractic care is not the right answer for what you are seeing, Dr. Eveline will tell you so and point you toward the appropriate provider. That conversation is part of the visit.
