Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized gentle adjustments for infants, children, and adolescents
About This Treatment
Pediatric chiropractic uses very gentle techniques specifically adapted for growing bodies. Practitioners receive additional training to work safely with children. Adjustments use light pressure (often no more than you'd use to test a tomato for ripeness) to address issues like colic, ear infections, bedwetting, growing pains, and sports injuries. The approach supports proper growth and development.

What to Expect
The chiropractor will ask about pregnancy, birth, and developmental milestones. Examination is gentle and non-invasive. Adjustments use extremely light touch - often just fingertip pressure. Many babies sleep through treatment. Older children typically find it comfortable and even enjoyable. Parents remain present throughout. Sessions are brief, typically 10-15 minutes.
