Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic & Movement-Based Care
Our pediatric chiropractic care is extremely gentle and safe for babies and children of all ages. There is no cracking or popping involved. Every technique we use is carefully adapted to growing bodies and performed with light, precise, age-appropriate pressure that is comfortable and supportive.
We use a thoughtful, neurologically focused approach that blends craniosacral therapy, gentle chiropractic techniques using an Activator or light manual contact, and movement-based rehabilitation exercises. These approaches work together to help reduce tension, improve comfort, and encourage coordinated, balanced movement patterns throughout the body.
Pediatric Rehab Therapy, Exercises & Stretches
When appropriate, we incorporate gentle pediatric rehabilitation exercises and stretches to support healthy neuromuscular development. These therapeutic strategies are designed to help babies and children:
- Improve core strength and postural control
- Increase flexibility and range of motion
- Address muscle imbalance and left-right asymmetry
- Support healthy motor milestone development
- Encourage efficient, coordinated movement patterns
For infants, rehabilitation strategies may include gentle positioning, guided movements, and playful activities that support head control, rolling, crawling patterns, and symmetrical development. These approaches are commonly helpful for concerns such as torticollis, head shape asymmetry (plagiocephaly), feeding difficulties, and delayed motor milestones.
For toddlers and older children, therapeutic exercises and stretches may focus on balance, coordination, posture, and functional movement. These strategies help children move with greater ease and confidence as their bodies continue to grow and change.
Collaborative Care for Feeding, Head Shape, and Development
We believe pediatric care works best when providers collaborate. Our team regularly works alongside pediatricians, pediatric dentists, and lactation consultants to support infants and children with concerns such as latching difficulties, tongue and lip ties, head shape asymmetry, and neck tightness.
By addressing muscle tension, movement restrictions, and asymmetries in the body, chiropractic and movement-based care can help support feeding mechanics, comfort, and overall development. We are happy to coordinate care, share findings, and work as part of a trusted care team focused on your child’s health and progress.
All rehabilitation strategies are simple, engaging, and easy to continue at home. Our goal is never to force change, but to gently guide the nervous system and muscles so the body can move, adapt, and develop the way it was designed to.
