5. What credentials should you look for when choosing a chiropractor? Is there a national list where moms can search for a chiropractor in their area?

When choosing a chiropractor look for a Board Certified Chiropractor. The best resource for seeking out a chiropractor is word-of-mouth; don’t forget to ask if the doctor is comfortable with kids. There currently is not a national list to search for chiropractors. There are some good websites like www.palmer.edu and www.life.edu. Visit the office, ask for a tour, and a consult; most important ask questions. The chiropractor that you want to see is someone that is willing to give you explanations for what he/she does, how they do it, and what to expect. Find someone who you are comfortable with.
