Answer: Yes

​

It is important to understand that medical research shows that most American born children (72%) obtain an upper cervical shift during the birth process. Because of this it is strongly recommended to have all children evaluated. 

 

The technique for determining if a child or infant needs upper cervical care is the same as an adult.  Multiple objective indicators and structural analysis will determine if there are structural abnormalities.  Pediatric Chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and specific. Only light pressure is necessary when checking an infant or child’s spine. The pressure is similar to the amount needed to put on a contact lens or indent a ripe tomato.
