When Should You Visit A Pediatric Chiropractor?

The best time to bring your infant for chiropractic adjustment is shortly after their birth so that we can help relieve any stress they’ve experienced during pregnancy and the birthing process. Many families also begin care during pregnancy as prenatal chiropractic care can support both mom and baby before birth.

Infant chiropractic adjustments are extremely gentle and specifically adapted for babies and children. The pressure used is light and carefully applied, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

Early care supports your baby’s developing nervous system from the very beginning however, it’s never too late to help your child live better and happier. Whether you’re looking for care for your newborn, toddler or teenager, pediatric chiropractic care can be adapted to your child’s age, stage, and needs.

For nervous parents, we’re happy to show you exactly how gentle our adjustments are—most children (and parents) relax right away. Drs. Kate, Pat, and MacKenzie are all highly trained in pediatric and family chiropractic care, providing skilled, gentle care to help kids feel safe and thrive.

A Comfortable, Kid-Friendly Environment

When you’re in our care, we want you and your child to feel like you’re at home, and we aim to care for each patient like a part of our own family.

When you enter our office, you’ll notice it’s built with children in mind. We love it when kids are excited to visit us-in fact, many children run to our in-office play area immediately upon entering. We have toy bins in each room for children to enjoy.

Chiropractic care for children is truly in our blood. When Dr. Kate and Dr. Pat‘s daughters were born, they received their first adjustments just hours after birth. Believe us when we say that it is a real joy and a pleasure to be able to provide natural, safe and gentle adjustments to your child.

FAQ on Infant Chiropractic Adjustments

Why would I have my newborn or young child adjusted?

A toddler or young child has a nervous system, just like an adult. And just as an adult has various stressors that affect their nervous system, so do newborns and kids. These stressors can begin in utero or during the birth process. Infant chiropractic adjustment helps support healthy nervous system function during these important stages.

In addition, children go through considerable neurological development at a fast rate. Learning to communicate, crawl, interact with others, etc. So even at a young age, it’s crucial to have their nervous system checked.

Can chiropractic cure everything?

Chiropractic isn’t a cure; it’s about improving the function of the nervous system. The nervous system is what controls and coordinates everything that goes on in your body. So when our nervous system is functioning better, that means our organs, tissues and cells can function better. The goal of the adjustment is to improve your nervous systems function, improve your adaptability to stress and have better efficiency.

Can chiropractic care help with colic and if so, how?

An adjustment for a colicky baby helps to bring calmness to an overstressed nervous system. Is baby hard to console, gassy, spitting up excessively? The aim of chiropractic is to reduce that stress and tension on the baby. We see so many colicky babies thrive once under care.

Does insurance cover children’s visits?

Most insurance plans only cover musculoskeletal issues. We will verify any insurance benefits to determine coverage. Because we believe in transparency, we will let you know exactly what would be covered and what wouldn’t be.

Will you work with my child’s pediatrician?

There are many benefits to a collaborative approach with patients’ other providers. We may ask to contact your pediatrician to gain insight into your child’s particular issue and answer any questions the pediatrician may have.

Is it safe to have my newborn adjusted?

Yes, rest assured that we use light pressure to adjust a newborn-about the same amount that’s used to check a tomato for ripeness. Sometimes babies are so relaxed that they fall asleep during their adjustment!
