Who We Help

Care that meets your child where they are.

From the newborn struggling with reflux to the teen with sports-related back pain, kids need care designed for their stage — not a smaller version of an adult adjustment.

Newborns & Infants
Gentle care from day one.
The first months are full of rapid growth — and the spine and nervous system are right at the center of it. Light, low-force adjustments help with issues parents see early: reflux, colic, sleep struggles, torticollis, and difficulty with feeding.
Toddlers & Kids
Support through the busy years.
Falls, growth spurts, picky posture, and constant motion all add up. Our adjustments are gentle enough that most kids barely notice them — and consistent enough to support digestion, sleep, focus, and recovery from the daily bumps of being a kid.
Pre-teens & Teens
Care for growing bodies and busy schedules.
Sports, school bags, screens, and growth spurts put real demands on a developing spine. We focus on posture, recovery from athletic strain, and keeping the nervous system functioning well during a stage of life that’s anything but slow.

Conditions We Treat

Common issues we help kids with.

If your child is struggling with one of these, you’re not alone — and chiropractic care is often the missing piece. Here are the issues we see most often in kids of every age.

Colic & Digestive Issues
Hours of inconsolable crying, reflux, constipation, or a baby who just can’t seem to settle. Gentle adjustments support nerve function and can ease the discomfort behind many digestive struggles.
Ear Infections
Recurring ear infections wear families out — and sometimes lead to repeated rounds of antibiotics or talk of tubes. Adjustments to the upper neck can help support proper drainage and reduce how often infections come back.
Sleep Challenges
A baby who won’t settle. A toddler who’s up four times a night. A teen who can’t fall asleep. Sleep issues at every age often trace back to a nervous system that’s stuck in overdrive — and gentle care can help it reset.
Torticollis & Neck Issues
A baby who only turns their head one way. A child with a noticeable head tilt. Torticollis often responds well to consistent, light-touch care — and the earlier we address it, the better the long-term outcome.
Behavioral & Developmental Concerns
Trouble focusing, sensory sensitivity, or difficulty with self-regulation. The nervous system is at the center of how a child engages with the world, and supporting it can make a real difference for kids who feel out of step.
Posture & Sports Injuries
Heavy backpacks, long hours hunched over screens, and the wear and tear of competitive sports all leave their mark. We help kids recover from strain and stay aligned through the years their bodies are still growing into themselves.

Why Choose Us

Gentle. Precise. Made for kids.

A child’s spine is still developing, and their nervous system is still learning how to coordinate everything from digestion to sleep to balance. That calls for a different approach than a typical adult adjustment. We use Torque Release Technique: an instrument-based, low-force method that’s safe for newborns, comfortable for kids, and effective at every stage of development — with no twisting, no cracking, and no forceful manipulation. Most kids don’t mind the adjustments at all; many actually look forward to them.

Torticollis & Toddler Care
★★★★★

“My 3 month old has torticollis and has had large improvements in range of motion in his neck and head control since starting treatment. My toddler has chronic constipation and pain and we have noticed a huge improvement in his pain levels since starting treatment.”

Denise MastersonVerified Google Review
Infant Reflux Relief
★★★★★

“We started coming to Authority Chiropractic when my baby was 3 months old. In the beginning, he couldn’t lift his head without screaming in pain, and had severe reflux 10+ times a day. After our first visit I immediately saw a difference in him, and now have my whole family being treated.”

Sleep, Mood & Digestion
★★★★★

“They diagnosed my baby so quickly and accurately and explained so my husband and I could understand! This treatment has made a massive difference in my baby’s sleep, mood and tummy time! After about a month or so of treatment he’s made huge progress.”

Fun & Gentle Check-Up
We start by getting to know your child — how they move, how they play, what’s been bothering them. The check-up itself is hands-on but kid-friendly: a gentle look at posture and movement, simple tests of how the body is working, and a nervous system scan that takes about a minute. Nothing scary, nothing rushed.

A Tailored Care Plan
Every child is different, so every plan is too. We build yours around what we found in the check-up: how often your child should come in, which gentle techniques fit their age and needs, and the small adjustments at home or school that’ll make a difference. You’ll know exactly what to expect at every step.

Gentle Adjustments
Pediatric adjustments are nothing like what you’ve seen on TV. They feel like a light tap or a soft stretch — safe for newborns, gentle enough that many kids actually smile or giggle through them. The room is comfortable, the pace is patient, and your child stays in charge of how they’re feeling the whole time.

Pediatric Chiropractic FAQs

Common questions from parents.

Yes — when it’s the right kind of chiropractic. We use Torque Release Technique, which is instrument-based and uses about the same amount of pressure as you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There’s no twisting, no cracking, and no forceful adjustments at any age. Every adjustment is scaled to the child in front of us — what works for a newborn looks completely different from what works for a 12-year-old soccer player.
As young as a few days old. Many of our pediatric patients first come in as newborns — sometimes for issues like reflux, colic, torticollis, or trouble nursing. There’s no minimum age. The earlier we can support a child’s nervous system, the more room they have to grow into their bodies without working around something that could’ve been resolved early on.
For a baby or young child, it usually feels like a light tap or a gentle press — many fall asleep partway through. For older kids, it’s closer to a quick, focused pressure that releases tension. Most kids leave saying they feel lighter or more relaxed. We work at a pace your child is comfortable with; if they need to start sitting in your lap, standing up, or watching us work on a parent first, that’s normal and welcome.
It depends on what brought you in. A baby with severe reflux or torticollis often benefits from more frequent visits early on, then tapers as things resolve. A teen athlete might come in for a focused stretch of care after an injury, then drop to maintenance. We’ll lay out a recommended schedule after the first visit, explain why we’re recommending it, and adjust as your child progresses.
Only when there’s a clear clinical reason, and rarely with young children. For most pediatric patients, the nervous system scan and a thorough physical exam give us what we need to build a good care plan. If at any point we think imaging would help, we’ll explain why and let you make the call.
