The doctors of Eriksen Chiropractic Centers have been providing safe and effective treatment to children for more than 30 years.  Like a dental check-up or a routine physical, a visit to our office is recommended to check the development of one of the most important structures of the human body, the spine.

Scoliosis, ear infections, allergies, asthma and colic are ailments that chiropractic has been known to benefit. In fact several published studies conducted by researchers validate the effectiveness of chiropractic for a multitude of childhood illnesses.

When to start care

Your child’s first experience in a chiropractic office will be a pleasant and painless experience.  A child’s spine grows almost 50 percent in length during their first year.  Chiropractic care is important because spinal trauma can occur from tumbles and falls that your child experiences while learning to sit up or walk.  A Doctor of Chiropractic should examine your child during the first year of life when corrective and preventive care is most important.  As children grow older, they should continue regular chiropractic care in order to increase their immunity to disease as well as maintain their overall health.
