Pediatric Treatment in Culver City
Kids tumble, twist, and grow by the minute—sometimes faster than their spines can adapt. Tiny misalignments from playground falls or long hours hunched over tablets can quietly stress a child’s nervous system. Children benefit from gentle, age‑appropriate care that supports comfortable movement through growth spurts, sports, and screen time.
- Common Reasons for Visit: Postural strain, sports aches, movement asymmetries, tension‑related discomfort
- Services: Gentle adjustments, soft‑tissue work, simple home stretches; coordination with pediatric care as needed
- Approach: Clear explanations for parents, minimal‑force methods, progress checks

Gentle Chiropractic for Children’s Growth and Well-Being
Pediatric chiropractic focuses on identifying and correcting spinal misalignments in children. The approach is gentle, using modified techniques tailored for a child’s smaller frame and developing nervous system.
How Can I Tell if My Child Needs Chiropractic Care?
Look for these signs of possible spinal stress:
| Clue you might notice | Why it matters | Parent‑friendly explanation |
| Recurring ear infections | Fluid doesn’t drain well when upper‑neck joints are restricted | Gentle neck adjustments may restore Eustachian tube function and cut infection frequency |
| Difficulty nursing or latching | Birth positioning can irritate jaw and upper‑neck nerves | Light cranial work improves jaw motion so feeding feels natural |
| Colic or prolonged fussiness | Abdominal nerves may be overstimulated | Sacral balancing often settles digestion and eases crying spells |
| Irregular sleep patterns | Tension keeps the nervous system “on” | Soft adjustments calm spinal receptors so kids drift off easier |
| Head tilting (torticollis) | One tight neck muscle shortens | Stretching plus precise atlas correction evens head posture |
| Frequent falls or clumsy walking | Pelvic misalignment affects balance | Pelvic and lower‑back corrections improve coordination |
