Led by Dr. Denise, our Onsite Director & Pediatric Chiropractor.
Our techniques for infants and children use gentle, age-appropriate pressure' no twisting, cracking, or forceful movements. Pediatric adjustments are designed to be as light as checking the ripeness of a tomato.
While every child is unique, many parents notice meaningful changes after beginning gentle pediatric chiropractic care. These are common experiences families have shared with us.
Helping infants & children grow with strong neurological foundations.
During the earliest years of life, the nervous system is developing faster than at any other time. Our pediatric chiropractic approach focuses on gentle support that helps children reach milestones, experience fewer tension patterns, and grow with better alignment.
We believe in supporting the whole child—physically, emotionally, and developmentally—through gentle care and parental partnership.
