Chiropractic care plays an important role in supporting the health of children and pregnant women through safe, gentle, and adapted techniques. This book focuses on pediatric and prenatal chiropractic, emphasizing anatomical, physiological, and developmental considerations. Topics include spinal and cranial adjusting for infants, postural changes in pregnancy, and care during labor preparation. Safety guidelines, consent, and communication with caregivers are covered comprehensively. Conditions such as colic, latching difficulties, and pregnancy-related back pain are addressed with evidence-based approaches. Practical illustrations and clinical tips help guide effective and compassionate care for this sensitive patient population.
