Is It Safe? What Moms and Dads Need to Know

We get it. The thought of someone adjusting your child can be scary—especially if your only experience with chiropractic involved aggressive adjustments or cracking sounds.

But here’s the truth: your baby’s birth was more traumatic than chiropractic care will ever be.

When we work with babies, we use incredibly gentle pressure—imagine the light touch you’d use to check if an avocado is ripe. That’s it. Or think about the gentle pressure needed to hold a quarter against a wall. That’s the amount of force we use on your baby’s delicate spine.

No twisting. No cracking sounds. No aggressive movements.

Why Dunwoody Parents Choose Us Over Other Chiropractors

15+ years as prenatal chiropractors

We’re not general chiropractors who occasionally see families. Pediatric care is one of our specialties, and we’ve been serving Dunwoody, GA since 2009.

Comprehensive examination process

Over 15 years, we have developed a comprehensive examination process to identify your child’s specific needs, so that we can serve you and your family best.

True family-friendly environment

Parenting doesn’t pause for appointments, which is why we have a kids area with Bluey always playing, a giant fish tank, and helpful front desk staff.

We’re parents ourselves

As a husband-wife team with three kids, we’re not just doctors—we’re parents who’ve lived through the sleepless nights and feeding challenges you’re facing.

Common Issues We Help Babies Overcome

If your baby is struggling with any of these common issues, you’re not alone—and gentle chiropractic care can help with:

  • Reflux & spitting up: When baby can’t keep food down and you’re going through outfit after outfit—gentle spinal adjustments can help improve digestion and reduce reflux episodes
  • Colic & excessive crying: Those inconsolable crying spells that leave you feeling helpless. Many parents see calmer, happier babies after addressing spinal tension that may contribute to discomfort.
  • Breastfeeding & latching difficulties: When nursing is painful for mom and frustrating for baby, we address neck and jaw tension that can interfere with proper latching and feeding.
  • Constipation & digestive issues: When baby struggles with bowel movements and seems uncomfortable, spinal care can help improve nerve function to the digestive system.

The good news? Most babies show improvement within the first few visits, giving you the relief you need.

Common Questions About Pediatric Chiropractic

Is chiropractic care safe for newborns and babies?

Absolutely. We use incredibly gentle pressure—like checking if an avocado is ripe. There’s extensive research from the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association showing both safety and effectiveness. Birth is far more traumatic than the gentle adjustments we provide.

How young can a baby be for their first adjustment?

We can safely examine and adjust babies from birth. Many parents bring their newborns in within the first few weeks of life, especially if they’re experiencing feeding difficulties, colic, or excessive crying.

What does a baby adjustment actually look like?
Nothing like adult chiropractic. We use light fingertip pressure with no twisting or aggressive movements. Most babies stay asleep during their entire adjustment. It’s so gentle that many parents are surprised when we tell them we’re finished.

How many visits will my baby need?

Every baby is different, but most families see improvement. We’ll create a customized care plan based on your baby’s specific needs and always explain what we’re treating and why.

Can I bring my other children to the appointment?

Yes! Whether it’s Bluey playing, toys, or a giant fish tank, we have designated spaces for keeping your kids busy and active.
