Babies and Chiropractic
When it comes to chiropractic care, many people immediately think of adults seeking relief from back or neck pain. But did you know chiropractic adjustments for babies and kids look entirely different and can offer significant benefits for their growing bodies?
Dr. Nikki, Certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP), specializes in helping little ones thrive through gentle, specific chiropractic care. With her extensive training, she ensures every adjustment is tailored to the unique needs of babies and children, helping them live their healthiest, happiest lives free from nervous system interference.
Why Chiropractic Care for Babies and Toddlers?
From birth to age seven, children grow and develop more rapidly than at any other time in their lives. This crucial period involves the nervous system playing a central role in coordinating everything from growth and development to immune function, digestion, and sleep. Supporting this foundational system with chiropractic care can make a profound difference.
As the saying goes, “It’s easier to grow healthy kids than to fix broken adults.” By addressing potential issues early, chiropractic care helps promote optimal health, giving kids the best start in life. Parents often find their children experience improved health, are less fussy, and even look forward to their visits!

Adjustments for babies and children are gentle, specific, and tailored to their size, weight, and developmental stage. These are nothing like adult adjustments—there’s no cracking or popping involved. Instead, techniques focus on light touch and precise movements to support the developing spine and nervous system.
