Babies & kids
Specific, gentle care for growing bodies and growing nervous systems.
Childhood is full of big changes for the body. Birth itself, even a healthy one, is a physical event for a baby. After that come rolling, crawling, walking, growth spurts, tumbles, backpacks, sports, and long hours sitting and looking at screens.
Gentle care sized for little ones
Our pediatric care is designed to support your child's nervous system and their body's natural ability to adapt as they grow.
Pediatric adjustments are very different from adult adjustments. We use light, specific touch, with pressure often compared to what you'd use to test a ripe piece of fruit. There's no forceful twisting or "cracking," and we adjust our approach to your child's age, size, and comfort.
We screen every child, and if something falls outside our scope, we'll refer you to the right provider. We don't diagnose or treat medical conditions, and we're glad to work alongside your pediatrician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic safe for babies?
Infant care uses extremely light, sustained pressure — roughly what you'd use to check the ripeness of a tomato — applied with a fingertip. There is no twisting or popping. Most babies stay calm, nurse, or sleep right through it.
Why would a newborn need to be checked?
Birth, however it happens, involves significant physical forces on a brand-new spine and skull. Many parents bring babies in for head-turning preferences, latch difficulty on one side, arching, or unsettled digestion and sleep.
Does it hurt?
It shouldn't. Kids are usually surprised by how little there is to it. If a child is nervous, we take as long as they need and let them watch a sibling or parent go first.
How often do kids need to come in?
Far less often than adults, usually. Children tend to respond quickly, so plans are short and we reassess frequently rather than committing you to a long schedule up front.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable everyday clothes they can move in. No need to change into anything.
