Children and adolescents in Danish chiropractic practice (2-5 year old) 2007-2008

Danish chiropractors have seen an increase in the number of patients younger than 18 years. Previous research has been limited to studies concerned with infantile colic and the research on the chiropractic treatment of children and teenagers is still not complete. The aim of the study is to examine children and teenagers'' use of chiropractic treatment including which age groups below 18 years most frequently consults with a chiropractor and the causes of the consultations. The data collection took place from September 2007 to September 2008, and all chiropractic clinics in Denmark were invited to participate. The clinics were randomly assigned 1 month in which questionnaire data were to be collected for all new patients younger than 18 years. This data contains information on patients who are 2-5 years old.
