CHIROPRACTIC PEDIATRICS

by Dr Neil J. Davies, DC

Chiropractic Pediatrics is a text that any chiropractor treating children will turn to almost on a daily basis for information and confirmation.

Brimful of information, both of a practical nature - how to test for a squint, the management of the colicky baby, what to look for in the child with a headache - as well as background information on conditions such as Juvenile Arthritis, or the most common connective tissue disease of childhood, viz Systemic Lupus.

The book also has an extensive section on the examination and treatment of the spine and pelvis of the child.
