The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes Chiropractic Medicine as one of the most popular types of Complementary and Alternative Medicines seen in pediatrics. Parents should make sure that the practitioner is licensed and will collaborate with the pediatrician. It is important to remember that there is a need for more scientific data to prove the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments; therefore, caution should be used when treating serious, chronic or life threatening conditions.

	I’m all for trying to reduce the amount of medicines we’re pumping into our children’s bodies. What do hospitals like yours do to make sure our children are safe from over medication?
	This is a very important question and has to be asked with every medication your child is prescribed. We always look at the risks and benefits and the need for a medication before starting a child on it. Also in the hospital we have a Pediatric Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee carefully monitoring the use of medications.

	At what age should my child be before getting braces?
	This can vary with each child but the recommendation is to have a pediatric orthodontist evaluate your child when they are 6-7 years of age. Your child’s dentist may be able to give advice regarding your child.
