Common Questions

Questions parents ask us

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments use incredibly gentle pressure — lighter than what you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Our Torque Release Technique is specifically designed to be safe for developing nervous systems.

Children can receive chiropractic care from birth. The birth process itself — whether vaginal or cesarean — can create stress on a newborn's spine and nervous system. Early assessment and gentle correction can support healthy development from day one.

We commonly see children with colic, reflux, latching difficulties, ear infections, sleep challenges, ADHD, sensory processing issues, growing pains, and developmental delays.

Very short — often less than five minutes. The technique uses a small instrument and requires minimal force, so even very young children tolerate it easily. The rest of your visit time goes to assessment and parent questions.
