CHIRO FOR KIDZ

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR AGES BIRTH - 7 YEARS

Supporting Your Baby’s Growing Nervous System 🤎

The nervous system is the foundation for everything your baby does - from feeding and sleeping to rolling, crawling, and beyond. It begins developing in the womb and continues to grow and adapt throughout childhood. Gentle chiropractic adjustments and stretches are safe, effective ways to support this growth. They help release tension, promote calm, and allow your baby to feel more relaxed and comfortable in their growing body - making it easier to move, explore, and reach important milestones naturally.

Gentle Support After Birth

Support for Babies Born Vaginally 🤎

Even with a smooth birth, the vaginal delivery process can place a lot of pressure and twisting forces on a baby’s head, neck, and shoulders. For some little ones, this can lead to tightness, favoring one side, or challenges with feeding and comfort.

Chiropractic care and craniosacral therapy help gently release that tension, allowing your baby’s body to move freely and find balance. Through light, intentional touch, we support proper alignment, ease discomfort, and encourage optimal nervous system function. This care helps babies settle, feed, and rest more comfortably - supporting a calm and connected start to life outside the womb.

Support for Babies Born via C-Section 🤎

Babies born by C-section often miss out on the natural compression and rotation that occur during a vaginal birth - movements that help shape the head, stimulate the nervous system, and prepare the body for feeding and digestion. Without that process, babies may hold extra tension in their neck, jaw, or body, which can show up as feeding difficulties, gas, stiffness, or trouble settling.

Chiropractic care and craniosacral therapy gently support these babies by releasing that tension, restoring balance, and helping their bodies integrate the birth experience. Through soft, precise touch, we encourage mobility in the spine and cranium, support proper nervous system function, and promote calm, coordinated movement - helping your baby feed, sleep, and grow more comfortably.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on releasing tension in the body to improve overall function and balance. It works with the natural rhythm of the craniosacral system - the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord - to support the nervous system and promote healing.

Craniosacral therapy uses light touch. We focus on the head, neck, and spine - areas that can hold tightness from birth or feeding challenges. This calming therapy supports the nervous system, helping babies feed, rest, and move with greater ease. It’s a beautiful way to support your baby’s comfort and development in those early stages of growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our pediatric specialists treat ages birth - 7 years of age.

  • To promote proper growth and development and to limit health challenges such as ear infections or issues with nursing and reflux. This allows a child’s nervous system to grow optimally. Chiropractic care can help postural asymmetries that may develop with school age kids being on devices more frequently. We can help restore function after sports injuries or any other biomechanical injuries.

    It does not hurt your child and it is safe for your child to be adjusted. We use the pressure you would use to check the ripeness of an avocado.  Low force techniques are used on a child, including a spring loaded instrument called an activator. Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely gentle and different techniques may be used based off the child’s wants and needs.

  • We cater to families and understand things come up! We do not have a cancellation policy. We ask that you let us know at your earlier convenience if you cannot make it - but we never charge for cancelling! You can just hop in the scheduling portal to reschedule.

  • Chiropractic care and CST cannot make tongue and lip ties disappear. What they can do is decrease the restriction and tension throughout the body, which improves mobility. Often in babies with TOTs (tethered oral tissues) there are often restrictions elsewhere in the body. Chiropractic care and CST alone cannot fix TOTs - it is a team effort. Getting the tethered oral tissue revised by a pediatric dentist is critical in removing the baby’s tongue/lip tie. Chiropractic care & CST help support the revision by removing any tension in the body, allowing the body to get ready for the revision as well as aid in the healing process. Without proper preparation and post surgery stretching, many babies have reattachment of the frenulums and need to be re-revised. Chiropractic care and CST will help release restriction, improve structural alignment, improve mobility, improve latch, and calm the central nervous system.

  • Chiropractic care and CST can help children overcome ear infections by improving Eustachian tube shape, allowing for fluid to drain out of the ear through the tube more easily. Blockage or congestion of this tube is a frequent cause of ear infections since they typically block viruses and bacteria from getting into the middle ear. Ear infections are so common in children because their Eustachian tubes are more horizontal than adults, and become more diagonal as they grow. Ear infections cause pain as well as make it difficult for a kiddo to hear, speak, move and pay attention. CST and chiropractic care are gentle methods of allowing fluid to drain properly through the Eustachian tubes, which removes substances out of the ear as well as relieve excessive pressure from inside the ear. Doing so leads to improvements in the child’s hearing, speech, etc.
