As children grow, their bodies go through rapid physical changes—from learning to sit and crawl, to walking, running, and carrying school bags. During these crucial stages, spinal alignment plays an important role in overall health and development. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on gentle, age-appropriate techniques designed to support your child’s musculoskeletal and nervous system health safely and naturally.
At Lyonspine, we believe that early care can help children move, grow, and thrive with comfort and confidence.
What Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?
Pediatric chiropractic care is a specialized form of chiropractic treatment tailored specifically for infants, toddlers, and children. Unlike adult adjustments, pediatric techniques are extremely gentle and use light pressure—often no more than the touch you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
These adjustments aim to:
- Improve spinal alignment
- Support healthy nervous system function
- Enhance posture and mobility
- Reduce tension and discomfort
When Can a Child Benefit from Chiropractic Care?
Children may benefit from chiropractic care at many stages of life, including:
- Infants: After birth, especially following difficult deliveries or C-sections
- Toddlers: As they learn to walk and explore movement
- School-age children: From posture issues, backpack strain, and long screen time
- Teens: Sports injuries, growth spurts, and posture-related discomfort
Common concerns parents bring to pediatric chiropractors include:
- Neck or back discomfort
- Poor posture
- Sports-related strains
- Uneven walking or movement patterns
- Tension from prolonged screen use
Is Pediatric Chiropractic Safe?
Yes—when performed by trained professionals, pediatric chiropractic care is safe and evidence-informed. Chiropractors who treat children receive additional education in pediatric techniques and anatomy. The methods used are non-invasive, drug-free, and customized for each child’s age, size, and comfort level.
At Lyon Spine, every child receives a thorough assessment before any care begins, ensuring treatment is appropriate and gentle.
