Children's Chiropractic CareChildren are resilient and quick to heal, but they're subjected to many factors that can cause injury. Birth itself can be an early trauma to the spine; toddlers are constantly straining and falling; young kids play hard; and older children develop poor posture, play demanding sports and carry heavier school workloads.
Our Approach to Children's Chiropractic Care
We treat children and family members of all ages. As parents ourselves, we want the best for your children, just as we want for our own, and we believe childhood should be as free of pain and distress as possible.
Care begins with a complete history and physical examination, regardless of age. For children too young to describe their distress, we explore the history with the parent. Only after a careful exam, a detailed explanation of your child's condition and your consent will age-appropriate treatment begin.
Chiropractic Care and Colic
Colic is characterized by an unusual amount of crying in young infants, who may draw their arms and legs in as though in pain. It usually appears between the 3rd and 6th week after birth and typically resolves by around 3 months. Possible factors include an immature, irritated nervous system, food sensitivities and gastrointestinal upset.
Because the birthing process is very stressful on a newborn's neck, subluxations that irritate the delicate nervous system are common, and symptoms frequently improve after gentle chiropractic adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes. Treatment is age-appropriate and begins only after a thorough history and exam, a detailed explanation of your child's condition, and your consent as the parent.
What causes children to need chiropractic care?
Everyday events like the birthing process, learning to crawl and walk, active play, sports, poor posture and school workloads can all place stress on a child's developing spine and nervous system.
Can chiropractic care help with infant colic?
Some infants with colic show improvement after gentle chiropractic adjustments, particularly when subluxations from the birthing process are contributing to nervous system irritation.
At what age can a child start seeing a chiropractor?
We treat children of all ages, adjusting our approach and technique to be age-appropriate for each child's stage of development.
What does a first visit for a child look like?
It starts with a complete history and physical exam. For younger children who can't describe their symptoms, we work closely with the parent to understand the full picture before recommending any treatment.
