Depends on you: In my own experience of 3+ decades of pediatric practice I have never found any value in chiropractic care for kids.I do occasionally get testimonials from happy parents but no evidence based studies.If you're a chiro person do what you feel is right.The sessions may comfort you & your child will see your response & relax. Simple followup with your regular doctor is all i would do for my kid.

I don't think so: Before subjecting your child to numerous adjustments, i would seek a second opinion. Consult a local pediatric orthopaedist who will do a comprehensive exam that may include x-rays.
