Pediatric Chiropractic in Green Bay

Giving Kids a Great Start

We love caring for kids at Turning Point Chiropractic! Parents often ask us why their children need chiropractic care since they don’t have back pain. We love explaining to them that chiropractic care is about creating and maintaining a healthy, functioning nervous system.

By removing nerve interference through safe, gentle chiropractic adjustments, your child’s nervous system can function as it should, and when their nervous system works well, the rest of their body can follow suit. Adjusting kids sets the tone for optimal growth and development throughout their entire lives.

Putting Kids & Parents at Ease

Some kids are nervous about seeing any doctor, so we assure them that nothing we do hurts. They can bring a toy, and we’ll demonstrate an adjustment on it—or on Mom or Dad. We’re great at communicating with kids, earning their trust, and assuring nervous parents that chiropractic is safe, gentle, and highly effective for children as young as a few minutes old.

Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care

In addition to providing a solid foundation for optimal development, chiropractic helps with many childhood issues, such as:

Latching/feeding
Sleep
Colic

Reflux
Immune function

Your child’s immune system will also function better with a properly functioning nervous system, meaning they get sick less often.

Our Approach to Care

At your child’s first visit, we will go over their health history with you, including details of their birth, as well as your health goals for them. We’ll do a thorough assessment, using posture assessment as an objective measure instead of X-rays when possible. We’ll go over all our findings and explain our care plan.

Adjustments for children are much gentler than for adults, often just a sustained contact of
about the same pressure you’d use to check a tomato for ripeness. Both Dr. Leah and Dr. Brooke have extensive postgraduate training in caring for infants and children.

Your Pediatric Care Questions Answered

Can chiropractic help reduce ear infections in kids?

Yes, research suggests chiropractic can be as effective as antibiotics for chronic ear infections by removing nerve interference and allowing the body to function optimally.

How often would my child receive adjustments?

Each care plan is customized to the individual child. However, kids typically respond faster than adults and need less frequent adjustments as their spine stabilizes.

Is pediatric chiropractic care safe?

Absolutely. Our pediatric adjustments use no more force than a thumb checking a ripe tomato. The techniques are gentle, safe, and effective for all ages.

At what age should kids start chiropractic care?

Many parents start care for their newborns to support neurological development. However, we can begin at any age through adolescence when issues or injuries arise.

Supporting Kids From Toddlers to Teens

As kids grow into energetic toddlers, adolescents, and teenage athletes, chiropractic care continues to be a vital part of their healthy development, helping to ensure your child’s nervous system functions optimally as they navigate the physical and hormonal changes of each age and stage. Our customized care plans allow us to tailor our approach to your child’s needs and health goals.
