WHY CHIROPRACTIC FOR KIDS?

Children are constantly growing, moving, and adapting—which makes spinal health especially important. From birth stress to toddler tumbles to sports impacts, small misalignments in a child’s spine can affect nerve function, posture, and development.

We provide gentle, specific care to help your child grow strong and balanced—naturally.

COMMON REASONS PARENTS SEEK CHIROPRACTIC CARE:

  • Birth-related strain or C-section stress
  • Colic, reflux, or feeding issues
  • Torticollis or head tilting
  • Poor posture or “tech neck”
  • Growing pains or frequent falls
  • Scoliosis monitoring
  • Sports injuries, stiffness, or imbalance
  • ADHD, Autism, focus issues, or sleep problems (nervous system-related)

IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE FOR CHILDREN?

Yes. Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely gentle and non-invasive. Adjustments are modified based on your child’s age, size, and spine. Infants receive light fingertip pressure—no twisting or cracking.

Parents often notice improved sleep, calmer behavior, and fewer musculoskeletal complaints after a few visits.

FAQs:

Q: What age can my child start chiropractic care?

A: We see newborns, toddlers, teens, and everything in between. Care is customized based on your child’s age and needs.

Q: Do kids need X-rays?

A: Only if clinically necessary. We’ll discuss any imaging decisions with you in detail and only take them when clearly indicated.

Q: Is it safe if my child doesn’t have symptoms?

A: Yes. Many parents bring their children for wellness checks—just like dental or vision visits—to support posture and healthy development.

Q: How is a child’s adjustment different from an adult’s?

A: Pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle—often just light fingertip pressure in the right place. No twisting or popping.
