Chiropractic Care for Babies, Kids & Teens

Chiropractic care helps newborns and babies with healthy development of their bones, joints and muscles, especially after a baby went through a difficult birth. 

We can work with pediatricians and lactation consultants to evaluate why some babies are exceptionally fussy, called colic, and treat what may be causing babies discomfort. 

We work with walking children of all ages to manage pain after injuries from play and falls. Chiropractic is also very beneficial for children and teens who play and participate in competitive sports to improve their movement and naturally treat pain.

For young babies, the most common complaints are:

  • colic

  • sleep issues 

  • nursing dysfunction
