What Does a Pediatric Chiropractor Do?
A pediatric chiropractor focuses primarily on assessing, diagnosing, and treating musculoskeletal conditions in babies, children, and teens. Working closely with parents and other healthcare providers as needed, it’s possible to address a wide variety of issues that can affect a child’s comfort, everyday living, and overall development.
Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe for Children?
Absolutely! Chiropractic treatment for infants, toddlers, and adolescents often includes similar techniques to those used for adults. These treatment methods may be more gentle in nature, however, in keeping with children’s developing bodies and unique needs. In many cases, chiropractic care may be safer than drugs or medications with unpleasant side effects, or less invasive than other treatment methods, such as surgery.
What Conditions Can a Pediatric Chiropractor Treat?
While every child is different, there are a variety of conditions that can be safely and effectively treated by pediatric chiropractic care. A pediatric chiropractor may treat:
- Colic or excessive crying
- Breastfeeding difficulties
- Digestive discomfort
- Torticollis
- Abnormal head shape (cranial asymmetry)
- Developmental delays
- Scoliosis and spinal misalignment
- Postural issues
- Sleep problems
- Mental focus and/or concentration
- Asthma and allergies
- Headaches
- Neck injuries
- Sports injuries
What to Expect From Pediatric Chiropractic Care at Our Chandler Office
Whether we’re treating children or adults, every chiropractic treatment here at Absolute Pain Relief starts with a thorough evaluation.

- Reflexes
- Muscle tone
- X-rays
Upon completion of the initial evaluation, we’ll recommend the best course of treatment for your child and their specific health concerns.
