Chiropractic Care for Children

Many adults see a chiropractor to improve their general health and to prevent pain, but did you know that chiropractic is great for kids, too?

Dr. Mike Melton sees many children in our Cedar Rapids, IA office, and the scientific literature backs up what we see every day: Chiropractic is safe and effective for keeping your kids healthy.

Studies show that chiropractic adjustments can help with ADHD, asthma, bedwetting, and colic. Chiropractic can even boost the function of your kid's immune system, helping to keep them happy and well.

As a parent, you're concerned about keeping your kids healthy, but you also want to make sure that any kind of healthcare they receive is safe and natural. Chiropractic is both! A 2012 study looked at the records of 921 chiropractors to investigate the safety of chiropractic. The author found no serious adverse reactions to chiropractic adjustments.

Chiropractic is great because it doesn't use drugs or risky surgery to optimize health: it's truly an all-natural approach. If you'd like to see how chiropractic can help your children, give Dr. Mike Melton a call today at (800) 295-3346 for an appointment. We're conveniently located in Cedar Rapids for your whole family.
