Does Your Child Have One of These Symptons?
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we'll help identify the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care: Supporting Healthy Development From the Beginning
From the moment your baby is born, their nervous system guides every stage of growth and development. Birth itself places tremendous forces on the spine and nervous system, and as children learn to roll, crawl, walk, run, and play, their bodies continue adapting to new physical challenges.
At Vitality Chiropractic & Family Wellness, we provide gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care designed specifically for infants, children, and adolescents. Every adjustment is carefully modified for a child's age, size, and stage of development, using light pressure that is safe, comfortable, and effective.
Our goal isn't simply to address symptoms—it's to support healthy nervous system function so your child can grow, develop, and thrive naturally.

Chiropractic Care for Infants: Safe and Effective for Over 50 Years
Infant chiropractic care is far from a new concept—parents have been bringing their infants to chiropractors for over 50 years! When we tell parents that we offer chiropractic care for infants, we often hear the same questions: Is it safe? Why would an infant need an adjustment? How can you tell if an infant needs to be adjusted? Let's address those concerns.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Infants?
Absolutely! Chiropractic adjustments for infants are incredibly gentle. The amount of pressure used is comparable to the light touch needed to press on your eye. Before adjusting, the infant is thoroughly checked by hand and with specialized technology to assess their needs. The adjustment itself is done with the infant lying on a pillow or cradled in their parent's lap, using very gentle pressure. It’s a simple, safe, and effective procedure.
According to research conducted by the American Chiropractic Association, the safety of infant and pediatric adjustments is well-documented. Out of 250 million pediatric visits, only one case of an adverse event was reported, making chiropractic care one of the safest procedures available. For the best care, we recommend taking your child to a chiropractor trained in pediatric adjustments, such as the doctors here at Vitality Chiropractic & Family Wellness.
Why Would an Infant Need to Be Adjusted?
The birthing process is often where an infant experiences their first spinal misalignment, or "subluxation." During birth, significant pressures and forces are exerted on the baby’s spine, which can lead to misalignments. These risks increase in non-natural births, such as cesarean sections, or when tools like forceps or a vacuum are used.
Here are some common factors that can contribute to birth-related trauma, increasing the likelihood of a subluxation:
- Very short labor
- Very long labor
- Failure of the cervix to dilate
- Use of Pitocin to induce or strengthen contractions
- Use of forceps or vacuum extraction
- Cord wrapped around the baby’s neck
- Cesarean delivery due to lack of progress
- Pulling or twisting on the baby’s head during delivery
Ensuring that your infant's spine is properly aligned can help prevent potential health issues later on. Chiropractic care provides a safe, gentle way to address these concerns early, promoting optimal health and development for your baby.
