Will my child get side effects after seeing a chiropractor?

It’s possible. Around 1 in 100 children get irritable after a treatment – and this usually lasts less than 24 hours.

If you have an older child that has had manual adjustments, they may feel a little tender after. Just like the tenderness you may feel following a massage – or when your kids play netball or footy at the beginning of the season.

This usually goes away within a few days.
