Complementary therapies are used to treat many pediatric symptoms and health conditions, and chiropractic care is one of the most commonly used forms of complementary therapies by children and adolescents. Research studies have investigated the evidence behind and safety of chiropractic care in pediatrics with various musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal conditions. There are limited data with a range of findings and often no definite conclusion. Despite the paucity of evidence of benefits of chiropractic care in children, the considerations around safety, and the differing opinions regarding pediatric chiropractic practice inside and outside the field, many pediatric patients visit chiropractors, and chiropractors often care for pediatric patients. Pediatric health care providers should discuss the use of all complementary therapies with patients, so guidance can be optimal with a focus on promoting health and safety.
辅助疗法用于治疗多种儿科症状和健康状况，脊椎按摩疗法是儿童和青少年最常用的辅助疗法之一。研究调查了脊椎按摩疗法在患有各种肌肉骨骼和非肌肉骨骼疾病的儿科患者中的依据和安全性。数据有限，结果不一，往往没有明确结论。尽管脊椎按摩疗法对儿童有益的证据不足，存在安全方面的考虑，且该领域内外对儿科脊椎按摩疗法的看法也存在分歧，但许多儿科患者仍会去看脊椎按摩师，脊椎按摩师也经常为儿科患者提供护理。儿科医疗服务提供者应与患者讨论所有辅助疗法的使用情况，以便以促进健康和安全为重点提供最佳指导。
