Care for growing bodies
A calm, careful visit focused on movement and musculoskeletal comfort.
Children grow, play, tumble, train, carry backpacks, and spend time at desks and screens. When movement, posture, or musculoskeletal discomfort becomes a concern, an age-appropriate evaluation can help clarify what may be contributing.
Pediatric chiropractic care uses a history, physical examination, and techniques selected for the child’s age and findings. It does not replace routine pediatric care and is not presented as a treatment for infections, feeding disorders, sleep disorders, colic, or developmental conditions.

How pediatric visits work
Gentle care begins with listening to the child and parent.
Recommendations depend on age, symptoms, health history, examination findings, comfort, and whether medical or pediatric evaluation is needed first.
What to expect
A parent or guardian history, age-appropriate examination, clear explanation, and permission before any gentle, low-force technique is considered.

Dr. Shane & Dr. Sierra are some of the best chiropractors I have been too. They take time to listen about my aches and try to get to the root cause of those aches. They care about your full body wellness and nutrition. I love that they are always up to date on the latest methods and technology when considering my health. I would definitely recommend them both!

It is a musculoskeletal evaluation and, when appropriate, chiropractic care adapted to a child’s age, size, development, comfort, and examination findings. The doctor should explain the purpose, options, limitations, and expected response before care begins.
Techniques for infants and children use different positioning and generally much less force than adult care. The exact approach depends on age, findings, consent, comfort, and whether care is appropriate at all.
The practice can discuss care for infants, children, and teens. Suitability is determined individually, and some symptoms or health histories require evaluation or clearance from a pediatrician or another medical specialist.
This page does not claim chiropractic care treats infections, colic, feeding disorders, sleep disorders, developmental conditions, or other pediatric diseases. Those concerns should be assessed by the child’s pediatrician or appropriate licensed specialist.
No. Imaging should not be routine. If an X-ray is being considered, the doctor should explain why it may change care and weigh the potential benefit against radiation exposure. Referral or medical imaging may be more appropriate in some cases.
Seek medical care for significant trauma, fever, breathing trouble, severe or worsening pain, weakness, numbness, loss of balance, altered behavior, persistent vomiting, dehydration, unexplained weight loss, a child who appears very ill, or any symptom you believe may be urgent.
Start with a conversation about your child’s needs.
