Pediatric Chiropractic & Craniosacral Therapy
Kids' bodies aren't just small adult bodies, and they don't need adult techniques. Dr. Tiffany's craniosacral training means every adjustment for your child uses an extremely light touch, built specifically for a still-developing nervous system. Whether your baby is dealing with a difficult latch, tension from birth, or your toddler just needs support through a growth spurt, care here is built around your child specifically.

WHY BABIES
COME IN

Feeding struggles are rarely about willpower or technique alone — sometimes a baby's own tension is part of the picture. Dr. Tiffany's gentle, hands-on care can ease jaw tightness, an uneven latch, or a preference for one side, often working alongside tongue and lip tie treatment for the fullest support.

latch support
head shape, posture & alignment
A tilted head, a flattened spot, or an uneven movement pattern often has more to do with tension than anything permanent. Gentle chiropractic and craniosacral work can help ease the asymmetry behind torticollis and plagiocephaly, supporting more even development as your baby grows.
overall wellness & development
From colic and reflux to poor sleep and recurring ear infections, a lot of what unsettles babies and young kids traces back to tension in a still-developing nervous system. Care here is about supporting your child's natural development, not chasing a single symptom.

Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle Support From Your Baby's First Days
Craniosacral therapy uses an extremely light touch — about the pressure you'd use to check if an avocado is ripe — to release tension in your baby's developing nervous system. It's gentle enough for newborns and adaptable enough for growing kids, and many babies sleep right through it, which says a lot about how calm the technique actually is.
- An extremely light touch, safe from your baby's first days
- Supports a still-developing nervous system
- Many babies relax or fall asleep during their visit
-
Yes. Pediatric techniques are nothing like adult adjustments — they're extremely gentle and built specifically for smaller, developing bodies. Dr. Tiffany uses precisely calibrated, light touch, and many infants stay relaxed or fall asleep entirely during their visit.
-
It starts with a conversation — what you've noticed, what's been going on, what you're hoping to see change. From there, Dr. Tiffany explains what she's observing before doing any gentle, age-appropriate work. Most visits run around 10 minutes and stay calm from start to finish.
-
It's a relaxed, kid-friendly space with toys and seating, built so little ones feel at ease from the moment you walk in. And yes — plenty of parents get their own adjustment during their child's appointment, which saves a trip and shows your child that care like this is a normal part of life.
-
Common reasons families come in include colic, reflux, latching difficulties, disrupted sleep, recurring ear infections, and constipation. Many parents also notice improvements in digestion, immune resilience, and overall comfort with regular care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pediatric Chiropractic
-
No. Pediatric adjustments use extremely light pressure suited to a still-developing body, with none of the cracking or force associated with adult chiropractic care. Most kids find it soothing, and many relax or fall asleep during their visit.
-
From their very first days of life. Newborns who had a difficult birth or are showing early signs of discomfort are often exactly who benefits most from starting early.
-
Always — and it's genuinely helpful. Your presence keeps your child comfortable, and what you notice about their behavior day to day gives Dr. Tiffany real insight into their care.
-
It depends entirely on your child. Many families start with a couple of visits a week to address something specific, then taper down as things improve — most continue with occasional wellness visits, others come only when something comes up.
