Children also benefit from regular spinal exams!
It seems children never run out of energy, they go all day long running, jumping, and playing hard. Sometimes all this physical activity puts stress on the spinal nerves; this may lead to lowering a child’s resistance and open the door for many illnesses.
The slightest misalignment can cause a child to suffer from adult type problems, such as headaches, back pain, poor concentration, irritability, etc. and for many, a simple, painless spinal exam will allow your Chiropractor to find, and treat if necessary any misalignments.
Chiropractic Care for children is much more than just spinal exams. Your Chiropractor can also examine and monitor the growth of your child’s body, address important nutritional needs, offer correct exercise programs, and help to prepare your child for a healthy adulthood.

When my son Blake was 3 weeks old he was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Every time he would sleep he would fall into such a deep sleep that he would forget to breathe. His doctors put him on an apnea monitor that he wore all day. If he would stop breathing for 20 seconds the monitor would start beeping to notify me and I would then wake him or startle him enough that he would catch his breath. I brought him to see Dr. Grice. After his 1st adjustment, that day, I noticed improvement. From then, Blake was adjusted 2-3 times per week and he would breath normally throughout his days and nights. If I had missed or needed to change an appointment, even for one day, the monitor would alarm numerous times per night. Just after his 1st Birthday, he grew out of the apnea. I have faith that Dr. Grice assisted in Blake’s recovery from his condition. Now Blake plays football for the Brookline Knights and we maintain his chiropractic care, with as well as the care for my other two sons, my husband, and myself. I am very grateful for everyone at Grice Chiropractic and how our lives have benefited because of them.
