When should I take my child to a doctor of chiropractic?
Your child's spine grows almost 50% in length in the first year. Spinal trauma can occur during birth as well as from tumbles while learning to sit up or walk. Improper lifting and carrying of your child can also contribute to spinal stress. Give your child a head start in good health. We believe it is much more important to prevent diseases than wait until some illness occurs. Through regular adjustments, counseling on proper diet, exercise and posture, your chiropractor can help you raise a child whose body is structurally and functionally sound. Your child will also learn good health habits at an early age which will benefit him or her as an adult.

What if I (or my child) have a health problem that does not respond to chiropractic care?
Doctors of chiropractic are trained to recognize complex health problems. Their primary obligation is the welfare of the patient. When they reach their limits of skill and authority, the ICA's position is that "doctors in all fields of practice are ethically and morally bound to make patient referrals to practitioners in other fields of healing when such referrals are necessary to provide the highest quality of patient care."

Dr Myra Hoffman, D.C. FICPA, specializes in pediatric chiropractic. She treats pregnant moms, newborns to toddlers through adults. She has a room just for kids with toys and movies and comfy seating. Adjustments don't always require laying on a table but there's one of those in there too. Dr Myra is also certified by DONA.org thus available to provide doula support.
