What to Expect at Your Child's Visit
Your child’s visit starts with a conversation about what’s going on and a gentle assessment before any adjustment takes place. Techniques are modified based on your child’s age and comfort, and your doctor will walk you through exactly what they’re doing along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kids' Chiropractic Care
Is chiropractic care safe for children and infants?
Yes. Adjustments for children and infants use a fraction of the pressure used on adults, gentle enough to be appropriate even for newborns.
How is an adjustment for a child different from an adult?
The techniques and amount of pressure are both significantly adjusted for a child’s smaller, still-developing body. It’s a much gentler process overall.
At what age can my child start seeing a chiropractor?
Children can be seen from infancy through the teenage years, with the approach adjusted at every stage.
Will my child need X-rays?
Not typically. Whether imaging is needed depends on your child’s specific situation, and your doctor will always explain their reasoning.
Can I be in the room during my child's adjustment?
Yes, parents are always welcome to be present for their child’s visit.
