To characterize pediatric chiropractic and assess pediatric quality of life (QoL), a prospective cohort of Individual offices within a practice-based research network located throughout the United States reviewed a convenience sample of children (8-17 years) under chiropractic care and their parents exposed to Chiropractic spinal adjustments and adjunctive therapies. The authors concluded that the pediatric quality of life (QoL) of children improved with chiropractic care as measured by data. Survey instruments were analyzed using descriptive statistics and scoring manuals, converting raw scores to T score metric. The original data set consisted of 915 parent-child dyads. A total of 881 parents and 881 children comprised this study population. The parents were highly educated and presented their child for mainly wellness care. The mean number of days and patient visits from baseline to comparative QoL measures was 38.12 days and 2.74, respectively.
