Chiropractic Care From Day One

By Donna Stark

You just had a baby and are officially over the moon. Things couldn't be any better than what they are now, could they? The nursery is set up, the onesies are bought, and the grandparents are on their way to visit. But have you taken care of the other stuff? You know what I mean  the important stuff? I'm sure that by now, you have already selected a pediatrician for your little bundle of joy, but what about a chiropractor? Have you given any thought to that? Your child isn't going to wait until it's convenient for you to decide on that and if you think you've got plenty of time to hit that nail on the head, think again. The best time to start your baby on a path to optimal health and wellness is now!

Chiropractic Care From Day One

Don't wait until your child starts having health issues to look for a chiropractor. Tackle that decision now. Choosing the best chiropractor for your child may be one of the most important things you do and luckily, it doesn't have to be overwhelming at all! Take a look at the following things to look for when selecting a chiropractor for your little one.

• Ask around - Sure, you can look at some online reviews for different chiropractors in the area, but your best bet would be to ask family and friends for recommendations. And don't forget about your child's pediatrician or your family physician ... you can ask them too!
• Determine distance - How far are you willing to travel?  Remember, you may be going to the chiropractor's office several times a year so make sure it is convenient for you and your family to get there.  
• Check the hours - If walk-in availability is important to you or if you know that your schedule is a little crazy, checking the hours and policies of the chiropractic office you are considering is a must! You know exactly what you want and what works best with your lifestyle so don't forget to keep that in mind.
• Stop for a visit - Don't choose a chiropractor cold-turkey. Stop on in and visit the chiropractors you are interested in. It's important to make sure the chiropractor you choose is a good fit and the best way to do that is to ask for a "meet and greet."
