Good chiropractic care starts at a young age. Does that surprise you? It certainly surprised me until I was pregnant with my first kiddo. But I started experiencing low back pain early on and decided that I wasn’t going to spend nine months suffering every time I stood up. I sought out chiropractic care and experienced relief. Chiropractic adjustments were just one of many pregnancy highlights. And chiropractic care didn’t end once I had my baby; I scheduled an adjustment for myself just ten days after labor and delivery. And when my baby was suffering from reoccurring ear infections – chiropractic care was part of our treatment arsenal.
