FAQ

Yes, pediatric chiropractic is extremely gentle and safe. Adjustments for infants use no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There is no twisting or cracking involved. The techniques are specifically adapted for a child's developing spine and are well tolerated by children of all ages.
The birth process, whether vaginal or cesarean, can place significant physical stress on a newborn's spine and neck. Gentle chiropractic evaluation and care can help address any subtle misalignments from delivery, which some parents report helps with nursing difficulties, colic, and sleep issues.

Frequency depends on your child's age, activity level, and any specific concerns. Many parents bring their children in for periodic wellness check-ups a few times per year, while children with active symptoms or those involved in sports may benefit from more frequent visits during treatment.
