No: No. Chiropractors make lots of claims that are unproven.

Your kidding right?: Any stretching that may occur on a treatment table would disappear in a short time when the kid faces the day with gravity exerting its normal effect. Many people buy into promises shrouded in what appears to be scientific treatments. This is bogus.
