Pediatric

Every child is unique, and we treat them that way. At Woodbury Family Chiropractic, we’re honored to walk alongside your family, caring for your little one from infancy through young adulthood, so they can grow, play, and move with comfort and confidence.

Supporting Healthy Growth & Developmental Milestones

Your child’s health and well-being are your top priorities. As their body constantly grows and develops, they may be more susceptible to musculoskeletal issues. Our pediatric chiropractors have undergone extensive training to understand the intricacies of pediatric anatomy and development, using gentle, age-appropriate techniques to address misalignments and promote optimal spinal health.

Supports Deeper, More Restful Sleep

Releasing tension in the neck and upper back calms your child’s nervous system, helping infants, toddlers, and school-age kids fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer.

Improves Head Rotation + Feeding Comfort

Low-force cervical care corrects gentle birth strains, enabling infants to turn their head comfortably in both directions for easier latching and feeding.

Eases Digestive Strain

Gentle adjustments to the sacrum and lumbar spine relieve nerve pressure connected to the gut, helping restore natural bowel regularity, ease painful gas, and soothe infant reflux.

Corrects Posture

Targeted care counteracts "tech neck" from screen time, alleviates heavy backpack strain, and reduces joint soreness during rapid growth spurts and athletics.

Most Common Pediatric Care Questions

Curious how chiropractic care can benefit your baby, child, or teen? Here are answers to the most common questions parents ask before their first visit.

Are pediatric adjustments safe and gentle for babies and kids?
Yes, absolutely. Pediatric techniques are extremely gentle and tailored specifically to a child's age. For infants, we use no more pressure than you would use to check a ripe avocado.
At what age can a child start receiving chiropractic care?
Children can be checked as early as their first week of life! Birth can introduce subtle spinal tension, so gentle evaluation early on helps support comfortable nursing, digestion, and restful sleep right from the start.
What happens during my child’s first visit?
We begin with a relaxed, thorough assessment of your child’s spinal alignment, reflexes, and movement patterns. We make the visit fun and comfortable, adjusting newborns in a parent’s arms or kids on a play-friendly table.
How many visits will my child need?
Many children feel relief after just 1 to 3 gentle visits. While immediate relief is always our first goal, periodic wellness checkups can be a great proactive tool as your child grows—helping support new motor milestones, heavy backpack years, and active sports without any long-term obligation.
Will my child need X-rays before treatment?
No, routine X-rays are not needed or performed for pediatric patients in our office. Our doctors rely on gentle hands-on orthopedic, neurological, and structural assessments to safely evaluate your child.
Does insurance or HSA/FSA cover pediatric chiropractic care?
Many insurance plans cover pediatric chiropractic services. We verify your benefits directly for you, and we also accept HSA, FSA, and affordable self-pay options for family wellness plans.
