Ensuring Child Safety During Chiropractic Care: Tips and Guidelines


A limited body of evidence of adequate methodological quality is available to describe and quantify the risk of adverse events associated with SMT in children under 10 years of age. Although serious adverse events are reported in the literature, the risk of serious adverse events remains unknown in this population


Most studies report mild and transient adverse events (e.g., increased crying, soreness, irritability).


Our review suggests that the risk of mild adverse events ranges from 0.3% (95% CI: 0.06, 1.82) in infants < 27 weeks old treated with mild mobilization of C1 for upper cervical dysfunction to 22.22% (95% CI: 6.32, 54.74) in children aged between 6 months and 6 years treated for otitis media. We observe that the methods used to measure adverse events are of questionable validity and reliability.
