As a parent, you notice everything—your baby’s sleep patterns, your toddler’s digestion, your child’s posture. When something feels “off,” it’s hard not to worry. Pediatric chiropractic care offers a gentle, non-invasive option to help support your child’s growing body and nervous system.
Dr. Lisa A. Barker specializes in chiropractic care for infants, toddlers, and children—always adjusting with a light touch, age-appropriate techniques, and plenty of care.
Why Would a Child Need Chiropractic Care?
The birth process, bumps from toddlerhood, and even screen time can place strain on a young spine. Over time, misalignments in the spine can disrupt the nervous system, which controls every function in the body—from sleep and digestion to mood and immune response.
Common reasons parents bring their children in include:
- Trouble sleeping
- Colic or digestive issues
- Breastfeeding challenges
- Ear infections
- Delayed milestones or imbalance
- Growing pains or posture concerns
What to Expect at a Pediatric Visit
Pediatric adjustments are nothing like what adults experience. They’re soft, targeted, and often involve light fingertip pressure or gentle tools designed for tiny bodies. Most babies and kids tolerate treatment well—and many even enjoy it.
During your visit, Dr. Barker will:
- Take a full health history
- Assess your child’s posture and spine
- Explain everything step-by-step
- Use only the gentlest methods based on your child’s age and comfort
Parents are always welcome to stay close during treatment—and questions are encouraged.
Natural Support for the Early Years
Chiropractic care doesn’t “treat” childhood conditions directly. Instead, it helps the nervous system work without interference, allowing your child’s body to function, grow, and heal more effectively.
Many parents report improvements in:
- Sleep quality
- Fussiness or crying
- Balance and movement
- Bowel regularity
- Immune system support
Every child is different—but a well-aligned spine gives them a strong foundation for the road ahead.
