Pediatric & Family Chiropractic

Gentle, safe chiropractic care for the whole family — from newborns and infants to children and teens. Our youngest patient was just 24 hours old.

Pediatric & Family Chiropractic at Twin Tiers Chiropractic & Wellness

Our youngest patient was 24 hours old. Our oldest is in their late 90s. The range isn't a coincidence — it's a reflection of what chiropractic care actually is when it's done right: safe, gentle, and appropriate for every stage of life.

Chiropractic for Children

Kids are not small adults. Their spines are growing, their nervous systems are developing, and the forces they put their bodies through — from the birth process itself to falls, sports, and heavy backpacks — accumulate in ways that don't always announce themselves as pain.

Dr. Britt's approach to pediatric care is gentle by design. For infants, adjustments use light fingertip pressure — no thrusting, no cracking. For toddlers and children, technique is scaled to the child's size and comfort level. For teens, treatment looks closer to adult care but with age-appropriate goals: keeping them active, athletic, and pain-free as their bodies change.

Conditions We See in Kids and Families

  • Infant torticollis — restricted neck rotation, often from positioning in utero or during delivery
  • Colic and feeding difficulties — sometimes related to cervical tension
  • Ear infections (recurrent) — drainage and Eustachian tube function can be affected by cervical alignment
  • Growing pains and postural issues in school-age children
  • Sports injuries in teen athletes
  • Scoliosis monitoring and conservative management

From Chelsea M — A Real Patient

"Dr. Britt helped me through my pregnancy and then with my baby's torticollis. Incredible care for both of us."

Family Appointments

The Family Chiro Appointment is a 30-minute block designed for households where everyone needs to be seen but no one has time to book four separate appointments. Book one slot, bring the family. Dr. Britt will assess and adjust each person efficiently and appropriately for their age and needs.

Why FAKTR Matters for Kids

Dr. Britt's FAKTR certification means she performs soft-tissue work while the patient is actively moving — not lying still. For kids who won't hold still (which is most of them), this approach is actually an advantage. Treatment happens in real movement patterns, which is how kids live.

Pediatric Chiropractic FAQs

Is chiropractic safe for infants and children?+

Yes — when performed by a chiropractor trained in pediatric techniques. For infants, Dr. Britt uses fingertip pressure only — no thrusting or manipulation. The force used on an infant is comparable to the pressure you'd use to check the ripeness of a tomato. For older children, technique is scaled to their size and development.

How young is too young for chiropractic?+

There is no minimum age. Our youngest patient was 24 hours old. Many parents bring newborns in within the first week of life, particularly if the birth was long, involved instrumentation (forceps, vacuum), or if the baby is showing signs of torticollis or feeding difficulty.

My child doesn't have pain — why would they need chiropractic?+

Children rarely complain of pain the way adults do, but they accumulate physical stress through falls, carrying heavy backpacks, sports, and posture habits that can create dysfunction before pain shows up. Regular chiropractic care for kids is about keeping their growing bodies moving well — preventive care, not crisis care.
