Question
Is it possible for a chiropractor to cause a rib fracture in a 2 month old?

Answer
Cherria,

Of course anything is possible.  Is it likely? No. If a chiropractor is using standard and accepted methods of treatment, then the odds of a rib fracture in a healthy child is nearly impossible.  Two months old?  At this age,there is little reason for a chiropractor to do anything forceful enough fracture a bone.

'Hope this helps.
