Pediatric Chiropractor

What to Expect From Your Visit

During your first visit to 1-Spine Chiropractic, Dr. Marin will evaluate your child’s spine for subluxations or other deficiencies. We don’t X-ray our young patients. Instead, Dr. Marin analyzes the findings from his examination and makes his recommendations on the spot. That means your child can be adjusted at the first visit.

At the second and subsequent visits, Dr. Marin will determine how your child responded to the adjustment and will make his recommendations for your child’s care. He’ll let you know how frequently your child will need to be seen.

The question we receive most frequently from parents is whether chiropractic care is safe for young children. The answer is yes — absolutely! With children, Dr. Marin will not adjust using popping or twisting. Instead, he uses only his fingertips or a small instrument to gently put things back into place. And he gives children just what their body needs instead of playing it by ear. Your children couldn’t be in better hands.

“Chiropractic helps children eat better and sleep better, nurse and breastfeed easier, and keeps their digestive system working properly. Overall, children who are adjusted have fewer doctor visits and take fewer antibiotics. In short, they thrive.”
