You might not think of chiropractic care as something for babies or children — but more and more parents are turning to chiropractic care to support their kids’ overall health and development. From infancy through the teen years, a
child’s spine and nervous system are constantly growing and adapting. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help support that process naturally.
Infant and Toddler Care: Gentle and Effective
Even the most natural birth can place stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care is incredibly gentle — often using the same pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a peach.
Common reasons parents bring their infants and toddlers in for chiropractic care include:
- Colic
- Trouble sleeping
- Digestive issues
- Torticollis or head tilting
- Support for healthy development milestones
School-Aged Kids and Teens: Posture, Sports, and More
As kids grow, their spinal health can be impacted by:
- Heavy backpacks
- Sports injuries
- Poor posture from screens and devices
- Growing pains
Regular chiropractic checkups can help correct imbalances before they turn into long-term problems. Adjustments can improve mobility, boost focus and energy, and even support immune function by optimizing nervous system communication.
