Abstract/Notes Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the range of presenting complaints by children (<18 years of age) to chiropractors and the reasons leading to attendance at a chiropractic clinic.

Methods: Chiropractors and parents of children attending for chiropractic care (range 1–12 visits) completed a self-administered questionnaire.

Results: Based on chiropractor and parent responses, “wellness care” was the most common reason for pediatric presentation. Of the indicated specific clinical presentations, musculoskeletal complaints were the most common followed by non-musculoskeletal conditions of childhood.

Conclusions: Pediatric presentation to chiropractors is for both musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal disorders in addition to wellness care.
