Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Gentle, specialized chiropractic care designed specifically for infants, children, and adolescents.
Why Children Need Chiropractic Care
Children's bodies are constantly growing, developing, and adapting. From the physical stress of birth to the tumbles of learning to walk, from playground falls to sports injuries, from heavy backpacks to poor posture with devices—childhood presents countless opportunities for spinal misalignments and nerve interference.
Pediatric chiropractic care helps children's bodies develop properly, function optimally, and build strong foundations for lifelong health. Gentle adjustments support their nervous system, enhance immune function, and address common childhood health concerns naturally—without medications or invasive procedures.

Gentle Care for Growing Bodies
Pediatric chiropractic uses modified techniques that are safe and appropriate for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Adjustments are gentle, often requiring no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Many children find their chiropractic visits comfortable and even enjoyable.
The birth process, falls during learning to walk, sports activities, heavy backpacks, and poor posture from device use can all create spinal stress in children. Early chiropractic care helps ensure that minor issues don't develop into larger problems as your child grows.
Supporting Healthy Development
Regular chiropractic care for children may support their overall health and development. Dr. Brooks takes time to make each child feel comfortable and safe during their visit. Parents are always present during care, and we encourage questions to help families understand how chiropractic supports their child's wellness.
