As your child grows, their needs change, and so does the way we care for them. From toddlerhood to college years, chiropractic care can play an important role in helping kids stay balanced, resilient, and well-regulated through every leap and transition.
At Mama’s Chiropractor, we focus on supporting the nervous system and helping the body adapt to the physical and emotional demands of growing up. Here’s a closer look at how chiropractic care can support your child at each stage.
Toddlers: Regulating Big Feelings in a Busy World
The toddler years are full of movement, discovery, and emotional intensity. As little ones explore their social world, their young nervous systems are working hard to keep up.
Chiropractic care during this stage can support toddlers who are easily overwhelmed, sensitive to their environment, or experiencing delays in hitting milestones. Gentle adjustments help the brain and body better integrate sensory input, leading to healthier movement, calmer responses, and more regulated emotions.
Growing Kids: Balancing Through the Bumps and Bruises
As kids grow and play, it’s normal to experience spills, tumbles, and growth-related aches. Even when injuries seem minor, the accumulation of physical stress can shift a child’s posture, affect their coordination, or contribute to discomfort.
We prioritize simple, specific adjustments to the pelvis and upper cervical spine: areas that have a big impact on balance, movement, and overall nervous system function. This gives the body the momentum it needs to stay aligned and thrive through everyday adventures.
Teenagers: Supporting Body and Mind Through Big Changes
High school brings a whole new set of challenges: physically, socially, and emotionally. From long hours at desks to intense sports schedules and emotional ups and downs, teens are under a lot of pressure.
Chiropractic care helps teens adapt physically to their changing bodies and supports their ability to handle stress. We also see a wide range of sports-related injuries and offer assessments to help determine if rehab or orthopedic follow-up is needed.
Beyond pain relief, our care is about helping teens feel empowered, connected, and better equipped to navigate this important phase.
Young Adults: Continued Wellness Through the College Years
Many of our pediatric practice members stay with us into young adulthood, and we love it! College students face their own unique stressors, from new routines and studying to being more sedentary or sleeping in less-than-ideal dorm beds.
We recommend wellness check-ins every 1–3 months to help them stay aligned, grounded, and functioning at their best. And to make ongoing care easier, we honor our pediatric fee schedule through college.
Growing Up Well, Together
From first steps to final exams, chiropractic care can be a consistent source of support in your child’s life. Every adjustment is an opportunity to help their body stay balanced, their mind stay regulated, and their nervous system stay connected.
