Pediatric Chiropractic in Woodbury MN

Why Chiropractic for Babies and Children

Just like adults, babies and children experience spinal misalignment, which can often begin with the birthing process.  Unlike adults, babies are not able to say what hurts, but may become colicky, not sleep well, or have recurrent illnesses.  Chiropractic care for children offers families a solid foundation for wellness.  Throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood, the chiropractic lifestyle offers choices and benefits for your greater health and well-being.  Dr. Lori Jokinen offers the highest quality pediatric chiropractic in Woodbury, MN.

Children’s Chiropractic Safety Research

The ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) has initiated a ground breaking study on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. The preliminary results are outstanding and show that chiropractic care is safe for children. Even more significant is that parents reported three unexpected improvements with their child’s care:

• Improved sleeping
• Improved behavior and attitude
• Improved immune system function

This research was presented in 2007 at the 14th Annual Symposium on Complimentary Health Care in Exeter, UK. Read the abstracts below:
