Since a degree of spinal trauma can happen during labour, when the spine and neck may be injured as the baby is pushed through the birth canal, parents should have their newborns checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic.

As they grow, children will often suffer injuries as a result of playing sports, falls and other childhood related accidents. Regular chiropractic checkups can identify problems and may help to avoid some of the health problems that are so common in adults. Scoliosis usually begins in childhood.
