Can Children Benefit From Chiropractic Care?

Could your child's health challenges have a spinal connection? Dr. Steven Barger reveals the gentle approach to pediatric chiropractic care that's helping children of all ages thrive naturally without medication.
From the birthing process onward, children experience physical stresses that can affect their developing nervous systems. Using techniques far gentler than adult adjustments—think checking an avocado's ripeness—Dr. Barger addresses common infant concerns like torticollis, colic, and tummy time discomfort. Parents are often amazed when their previously inconsolable baby experiences immediate relief, sometimes even having a bowel movement before leaving the office!
As children grow, chiropractic care continues supporting their development in surprising ways. Recurring ear infections often resolve when atlas misalignments are corrected, improving eustachian tube drainage without antibiotics or surgical interventions. Developmental milestone regression, behavioral challenges, attention problems, and even childhood headaches frequently respond to appropriate spinal care by addressing their root cause: nervous system interference. For older children, regular screening during growth spurts helps catch and manage scoliosis before it progresses significantly.
What makes children such ideal chiropractic patients? Their bodies haven't accumulated years of stress, allowing them to heal remarkably quickly once nervous system function is restored. Monthly wellness checks during key developmental periods ensure children build the foundation for lifelong health rather than beginning a pattern of symptom management that continues into adulthood. Wonder if your child might benefit? Schedule a consultation to discover how gentle, targeted care could support your child's natural development and wellbeing.
