Pediatric Chiropractic

People are often surprised to learn chiropractic care is gentle enough for infants. But it is! And that’s good because the truth is, one of the most traumatic experiences you’ll ever have in life is being born. Birth creates subluxations, misalignments and stress in the spine, and the earlier we can find and correct those conditions, the healthier the baby – and the adult that baby grows into – will be.

Healthy Kids

At Schoenherr Chiropractic, we believe it’s easier to grow healthy kids than to fix broken adults. Our calling is to detect and eliminate issues to help children of all ages develop optimally and avoid the need for more aggressive interventions like drugs, which often lead to a snowball effect and create more problems later in life.

What to Expect

Kids and their parents are sometimes nervous about trying chiropractic care for the first time, but the process is gentle and painless. For babies, the force applied is about what you’d put on your eyeball, and for older kids it’s about 50% of the force used on adults. We also have stuffed animals to demonstrate on, and that the kids can play chiropractor themselves on. We take the time to make sure children (and their parents) feel comfortable with the process.

Our intention and years of experience make us different from other pediatric chiropractors. We are able to perform a highly specific assessment and target our low-force treatment exactly where it’s needed. Some common childhood issues pediatric chiropractic care helps the body heal from are:

  • Torticollis
  • Colic
  • Ear infections
  • Reflux
  • Trouble focusing
  • Neuroatypical Children

For an entire family that hasn’t slept in months because of a colicky baby, providing relief by helping the baby sleep feels like a miracle. For kids who are doing poorly in school because they can’t focus, chiropractic care can literally be life-changing.
