In Canada, however, chiropractors are only expanding their practices into pediatrics, planning upcoming weekend introductory courses on the “essentials” of adjusting newborns and children. Most babies need adjusting to unblock nervous system “interference” caused by the trauma of passing through the birth canal, according to conference instructors. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, which has falsely claimed that mercury in vaccines causes autism, is organizing the weekend courses. He added that, before any touching occurs, babies should be visually assessed to make certain they are not in distress and need medical or emergency care. The Ontario Chiropractic Association, meanwhile, said pediatric care is within the regulated scope of practice granted through legislation in Ontario.
