FOR CHILDREN

Our Chiropractic Techniques
Children can be adjusted very differently to adults.
Depending on what they will be comfortable with, adjustments can be done by hand using the same light pressure you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato, or using a very gentle instrument if needed.
