ICPA Members Define the Practice of Pediatric Chiropractic
The ICPA’s groundbreaking study, The Chiropractic Care of Children was published this month in the prestigious biomedical journal, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The objective of the study was to characterize the practice of pediatric chiropractic. The study was conducted in private practices throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

"Nobody benefits from chiropractic more than kids, and we need the parents to know this, not just the chiropractors. Its great to see an organization step up and gather the research to show chiropractic's safety and its benefits for kids. All wellness chiropractors should be a part of this."
