SUMMER HOLIDAYS APPROACHING !! Have you thought about taking your child or baby to see a chiropractor?
Chiropractors are often asked whether chiropractic care is safe for children and babies. A recent public inquiry asked this question, and this is what 22,000 parents had to say.
What does the research show?
The Victorian Government in Australia in 2019 held an inquiry into chiropractic care for babies and children and they asked parents in Australia to let them know about their experiences when they took their children to a chiropractor. This is what the inquiry found.
Almost 22,000 parents responded to the inquiry and told the Australian government that they had taken their child to see a chiropractor and 99.7% of these parents reported a positive experience with the chiropractic care of their children.
These parents had accessed chiropractic care for their child for a wide range of conditions and complaints, including maintaining general health and wellbeing.
The most common conditions included:
Posture concerns
Colic
Neck pain
Difficulty with breastfeeding
Back pain
Headaches
And the overwhelming majority of parents reported that chiropractic care helped their child, with 98% of these parents indicating that their child improved after seeing the chiropractor.
But what about the safety of chiropractic care for kids and babies?
This inquiry in Victoria had a very big focus on safety and what they found was that through their “extensive search they identified very little evidence of patient harm occurring in Australia. In particular, there were no patient complaints or practitioner notifications that arose from significant harm to a child following spinal manipulation.”
