NEW PATIENTS

What a Pediatric Visit Looks Like

The initial visit begins with an exam focused on the child’s specific needs and any concerns shared by their parent or guardian. From there, Dr. Dixon will create a personalized treatment plan and provide care recommendations. Pediatric Adjustments can vary from finger pressured adjustment to tool assisted adjustments. Young kids and teens can receive a lighter form of manual adjustments or tool assisted adjustments.

How Pediatric Chiropractic Helps

Pediatric visits can support spinal comfort after birth, monitor posture through growth, and screen for early scoliosis. Dr. Dixon generally recommends annual checks, with more frequent visits if something needs closer attention. Every plan is personalized—never cookie-cutter. We also offer school sports physicals to ensure your child is healthy and ready for safe participation in school activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my child start chiropractic care?

Even newborns can benefit from gentle checks. Techniques are always adapted to your child’s size and stage of development.

How often should a child be seen?

The frequency of pediatric visits are typically less than adults; however, every patient’s needs are different and treatment plans are typically determined during the initial exam. More frequent visits may be suggested during rapid growth, after a fall or injury, or if scoliosis screening is needed.

Is pediatric chiropractic safe?

Yes. Adjustments for children are very different from adult care. We use gentle finger pressure or soft, instrument-based methods designed specifically for small bodies. Your child’s comfort is always the top priority.

What conditions or concerns can pediatric chiropractic help with?

Parents often bring children in after birth to ease neck or back tension, during growth spurts to check posture, or in the pre-teen years for early scoliosis screening. Care can also support comfort during sports or everyday activities.

I just had a baby, should my baby been seen?

Labor and Delivery is a life changing experience for your new born and can pose some physical stress on the baby. You newborns first visit would be a gentle evaluation for muscle tightness and possible misalignments that may have happened during the labor.
