Pediatric Chiropractic

 

Gentle, Natural Support for Growing Bodies

Pediatric chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle, and non-invasive approach to supporting your child’s health and development from infancy through adolescence. Chiropractors trained in pediatric techniques use specialized adjustments tailored to the unique needs of growing bodies. The goal is to promote optimal nervous system function, which plays a vital role in your child’s overall well-being, development, and comfort.

Care for Newborns & Infants

From the very beginning of life, even routine experiences such as birth or daily positioning can place stress on a baby’s body. Pediatric chiropractic care can help address a variety of common concerns seen in infants. These include musculoskeletal issues, torticollis, flat head (plagiocephaly), reflux and digestive discomfort (often followed by a "blow out"), neck tension, tummy time discomfort, colic, latching difficulties, and a noticeable side preference.

Through gentle, precise adjustments, chiropractors can help ease tension, improve alignment, and support the function of your baby’s spine and nervous system—helping them feel more comfortable and promoting healthy development from the start.

Care from Toddlers through Adolescence

As children grow and become more active, their needs evolve. Pediatric chiropractic care continues to be beneficial as your child moves through important developmental milestones. Care at this stage focuses on supporting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function, promoting coordination, balance, and body awareness.

Chiropractic visits can be especially helpful as children learn to crawl, walk, and run, as well as during growth spurts or increased physical activity. Rather than focusing on rigid timelines, chiropractic care emphasizes the healthy sequence of developmental progress, helping children move through each stage with greater ease and confidence.

Whether your child is navigating early mobility, starting school, or engaging in sports and other activities, chiropractic care provides a natural way to support their health and resilience.

+ What conditions can pediatric chiropractic care help with?

Pediatric chiropractic care can help with a variety of conditions, including but not limited to: colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, spinal misalignments, poor posture, headaches, and even issues related to motor development or coordination. Chiropractors aim to optimize nervous system function, which can support overall health and development.

+ At what age can I start taking my child to a pediatric chiropractor?

Children can begin seeing a pediatric chiropractor from birth, especially if there were any complications during delivery or if the baby shows signs of discomfort, such as difficulty latching or excessive crying. Chiropractic care can also be beneficial for children as they grow, to address developmental or postural issues, or to maintain overall health. Always consult with a trained pediatric chiropractor to determine the best approach for your child's needs.
