we’re here to answer all your questions
Getting your child adjusted can seem a little scary, we get it. Let’s address some of the most common questions here.
Still have questions? Give us a call and we’ll help answer any concerns you may have.
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and kids?
Yes! Pediatric chiropractic care is very safe, gentle, and effective. The amount of pressure used is like checking the ripeness of a tomato. Most babies and children find it relaxing, and many even nap during their visit. At Sozo Family Chiropractic, safety and comfort are always our top priorities.
What does an adjustment look like?
A pediatric adjustment is gentle, calm, and tailored to your child’s size and comfort. For babies, adjustments are often done while they’re lying on a soft pillow, in a parent’s arms, or even while nursing. The chiropractor uses light fingertip pressure! There is no twisting, cracking, or forceful movements. For older kids, it feels more like gentle stretching or guided movement. We also have tools that we use to make it fun for kids! Most children relax easily, and many smile, giggle, or even fall asleep during their adjustment!

How would I know if my kid needs adjusted if they aren’t in pain?
Kids don’t always know how to express that they are in pain or are uncomfortable, but their bodies often communicate in other ways. Signs can include trouble sleeping, frequent meltdowns, poor posture, recurring ear infections, constipation, trouble nursing, or seeming “off” in their movement or mood. Chiropractic care helps the nervous system work its best, even before symptoms appear! It’s all about helping your child stay healthy, not just fixing problems.
How soon can my child get adjusted after birth?
Every baby and every birth is unique. Some families choose to have their newborn adjusted within the first few days of life, while others wait a few weeks until they feel ready. Dr. Jessica adjusted both of her girls shortly after the golden hour, and we’ve had families stop by on their way home from the hospital! Our biggest tip is simple: bring your baby in when YOU feel comfortable leaving the house with a newborn. Gentle newborn adjustments help ease tension from birth and support your baby’s nervous system as they start to grow and adapt to the world.
How often will my child need adjusted?
Every child is different, so care plans are based on their unique needs. Our goal is to first help your child’s body find balance, then move into a maintenance plan that supports them as they grow and reach new milestones. Just like regular dentist visits or well-baby checkups, consistent chiropractic care helps keep your child’s nervous system working at its best — supporting healthy growth, development, and overall well-being.
