So what can you expect when you take your child to see a Doctor of Chiropractic? Your Chiropractor is interested in your child’s total health and well being and therefore they may ask you specific detailed questions about your child’s health history. This may include questions about previous illnesses, accidents or even questions about your child’s birth. The answer to these questions can give your chiropractor vital clues to the source of your child’s problems.

Your Doctor of Chiropractic will then perform a physical examination. This will include a detailed spinal examination. Your chiropractor may also perform a postural examination, which can also give vital clues as to underlying problems. Postural clues such as head tilt, shoulder tilt, pelvic imbalance, a turned in or turned out foot, sideways deviation of the spine or scoliosis or perhaps an increased curve in the lower back The presence of one or more of these postural deviations may indicate underlying spinal problems. Relevant orthopaedic and neurological tests may also be necessary depending upon thechild.

Once all the information from these examinations has been correlated your Doctor of Chiropractic will go through with you what is the best management program for your child. This may involve postural advice, perhaps dietary changes, maybe a heel lift or orthotics maybe suggested. The management program may include any or all of these but it will nearly always involve the chiropractor performing what is known as a chiropractic adjustment.
