Do you think teens are immune to low-back pain? Think again. Currently, record numbers of adolescents suffer from neck, mid back and low-back pain. And if the pain itself isn’t challenging enough, symptoms dramatically affect physical and emotional well-being. For some adolescents, back pain is intermittent, but for others, it’s a chronic problem.

Doctors of chiropractic do a thorough examination and history to discover the source of your child’s concerns. They use gentle chiropractic adjustments, and educate on exercise, nutrition, stress management, and preventative measures to prevent pain and discomfort.
