Children experience rapid physical, neurological, and postural development. From learning to crawl and walk to sitting in classrooms and participating in sports, each stage places new demands on the spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care offers gentle, age-appropriate support to help kids move, grow, and function at their best.
A child’s spine houses the nervous system, which coordinates how they move, learn, and interact with their environment. Physical stressors—from birth through childhood—can influence spinal alignment, posture, and nervous system function.
