Pediatric & Infant Care

Pediatric chiropractic care is about so much more than adjustments—it’s about helping little ones move, grow, and function at their best. During those crucial early years, babies and children go through the fastest growth they’ll ever experience. Along the way, they may face challenges with feeding, sleeping, movement, or development that can benefit from gentle, supportive care.

At our office, we customize every visit to your child’s unique needs and your comfort as a parent. Treatment may include:

• Gentle Adjustments: No, we don’t “pop” babies’ backs. Instead, we use safe, light techniques—such as a small hand-held activator tool or sustained light pressure with our fingertips.

• Functional Exercises: Targeted, age-appropriate movements to help your child develop better coordination and motor skills.

• Muscle & Fascia Work: Soft tissue techniques and stretching to release tension and improve flexibility.

• Oral Motor Therapy: Hands-on support for infants with oral restrictions (such as tongue ties, lip ties, or high palates) that may impact feeding, latching, or speech development.

• Parent-Centered Care: We always tailor care to what you are comfortable with, so you remain in control of your child’s treatment journey.

How to Know if Your Child Might Benefit

You may notice signs that your baby or child could benefit from chiropractic care, including:

• Milestones: Reaching milestones out of order, skipping them, or seeming delayed (such as rolling only to one side or showing asymmetric crawling).

• Clumsiness & Falls: Frequent tumbles or bumps that may leave their body feeling “off.”

• Neck or Body Tension: Always turning the head one way, favoring one breast during feeding, or feeling overall stiff and rigid when held.

• Digestive Concerns: Constipation or irregular bowel movements can sometimes be linked to tension patterns in the spine and nervous system.

• Irritability: Moodiness or crankiness without a clear cause—what we like to call needing an “attitude adjustment.”

Conditions We Commonly Support

• Feeding Difficulties: Whether breast or bottle feeding, chiropractic care may help ease the tension patterns that make feeding uncomfortable.

• Tongue & Lip Ties: While we don’t release ties ourselves, we can help reduce the muscle tightness and oral restrictions caused by them. If a frenectomy may benefit your child, we will refer you to a trusted pediatric dentist or ENT.

• Torticollis: A condition where babies tilt their head to one side and have difficulty turning the other way, often making feeding, sleeping, and comfort more challenging.

• Plagiocephaly: Also known as “flat head syndrome,” where one side or area of a baby’s head flattens due to positioning and muscle imbalance.

• Delayed Milestones: Such as rolling, crawling, or sitting, which may be affected by tension, asymmetry, or body mechanics.

Care Beyond Infancy

Older children can benefit as well! Whether navigating growth spurts, staying active in sports, or simply adjusting to the demands of school and play, chiropractic care can help support healthy movement, posture, and recovery.
