Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Gentle, specialized care for infants and children to support healthy development and address common childhood conditions.
Our Approach to Pediatric Care
At AlignSD Wellness Center, we understand that children aren't just small adults. Their bodies are constantly growing and developing, which requires a specialized approach to chiropractic care that's gentle, safe, and effective.
Our pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting proper nervous system function and spinal development from infancy through adolescence. By addressing misalignments early in life, we can help prevent issues from becoming chronic problems in adulthood.
Our chiropractors use extremely gentle techniques specifically designed for children's delicate bodies. The pressure used for pediatric adjustments is often no more than what you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato—just enough to make a positive change without causing discomfort.
