Chiropractic Care for Kids

At Ascent Chiropractic, we believe healthy spines support healthy growing bodies. Chiropractic care for children is safe, gentle, and specifically adapted to suit their age and stage of development.

Our chiropractors use low-force techniques, including gentle manual adjustments and instrument-assisted care (such as the Activator Method), making treatment comfortable and reassuring for both kids and parents.

How chiropractic care can help children:
• Support healthy posture (school bags, screens, growth spurts)
• Help with aches, pains, and growing discomfort
• Assist recovery from falls, sports, and dance activities
• Promote flexibility, coordination, and movement
• Support nervous system function during key growth stages

What parents can expect:
• A thorough assessment before any care begins
• Gentle, age-appropriate techniques — no cracking or forceful movements
• Clear communication, so parents understand every step
• A calm, friendly environment right here in Browns Bay

Chiropractic care for children isn’t just about pain relief — it’s about supporting long-term health, movement, and wellbeing as they grow.

5 Back-to-School Tips from a Chiropractor

1️⃣ Backpack check:
Make sure backpacks aren’t too heavy—aim for no more than 10–15% of your child’s body weight.
Use both straps and adjust them so the bag sits snug on the back, not hanging low.

2️⃣ Posture matters:
Encourage kids to sit up straight when studying, using devices, or in class. Feet flat on the floor, shoulders relaxed, and screens at eye level help protect growing spines.

3️⃣ Move often:
Long periods of sitting can strain the spine.
Regular movement, stretching, and playtime help keep muscles strong and joints flexible.

4️⃣ Sleep supports growth:
A good night’s sleep on a supportive mattress and pillow helps the body recover, grow, and reset the nervous system—especially important during school terms.

5️⃣ Regular spinal check-ups:
Just like dental check-ups, spinal check-ups can help detect issues early, support posture, and keep kids feeling their best throughout the school year.
