Question
My x wants to take my 10 and 9 year old to a chiropractor just because his new wife and her 3 kids are on a family plan. There is nothing wrong with me kids. They would be getting it done just because the other 3 are. What are your thoughts? I have heard that you should not have them seen until they have stopped growing?
Melissa
It isn't a bad idea to have them checked; children, being active and "bouncy" MAY need an adjustment, but not always. The first misalignment (subluxation) very often happens at birth. I personally have worked on children, my own included, and if done properly, there is no danger to the growth plates.
