Chiropractic
for children
The chiropractic journey for children can start from a young age, many families choose to visit us soon after birth for a post-delivery check-up, ensuring both mother and baby are doing well.
Others come in during the first few years of life to address common concerns as their child starts moving more actively.
Regular check-ups can be beneficial to maintain a healthy spine, be it after bumps, falls, playing sports, or more commonly now increased screen time.
A child’s brain grows rapidly (doubling in size by the first year and reaching 90% of its adult size by age 5) milestones like holding their head up, crawling, and walking can be supported by the spine and central nervous system functioning optimally. These milestones can be key moments for Chiropractic evaluation to ensure your child’s healthy development.
Our goal is to keep spines of all sizes moving freely, ensuring a healthy, tension-free body as your child grows and faces life's challenges.
What does Chiropractic for children look like?
Chiropractic adjustments for children are gentle and tailored to their growing spines, using hands-on care or soft, pillow-like blocks.
For babies, these adjustments are especially delicate, involving only light finger pressure- no more than what’s used to test the ripeness of an avocado- to keep your little one comfortable throughout the process.
Each infant is unique, and we carefully assess any areas of discomfort or imbalance, supporting the release of tension and spinal and cranial function. This gentle approach supports a healthy start in life.
