Chiropractic Care for Children

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Children

Service symptoms image At Waukee Wellness, we see many children who experience discomfort from falls, sports, or rapid growth. Kids often deal with posture changes due to technology use, awkward sleep positions, or heavy backpacks. Some families notice recurring earaches, chronic colds, breathing difficulties like asthma, or challenges with focus and attention that could benefit from gentle adjustments. We also welcome parents who wonder if chiropractic care might help with symptoms like bedwetting, colic, or digestive discomfort in their little ones.

Our young patients may struggle with headaches, trouble sleeping, or seem unusually irritable from aches they can’t quite name. We’re here for the kids who need help bouncing back after injuries or who just want to stay healthy as they grow. Whether your child is an energetic toddler, a busy student athlete, or somewhere in between, chiropractic care can be a positive addition to their wellness plan.

We take a gentle, caring approach that helps address common concerns kids face—like poor posture from heavy backpacks, growing pains, sports injuries, trouble focusing, and immune system challenges. Our team loves partnering with families and making sure each young patient is at ease, feels listened to, and looks forward to coming back. Safety is our top priority, and we use age-appropriate techniques to make adjustments comfortable and completely child-friendly. The spine and nervous system are vital to childhood development, and even small changes in alignment can make a big difference for your child’s comfort and well-being. We’re proud to be a trusted resource for parents who want natural, drug-free ways to help their kids grow strong and healthy.

Dedicated to Your Family's Wellness

At Waukee Wellness & Chiropractic, we know that healthy kids are happy kids. Pediatric chiropractic care is designed specifically to help infants, children, and teens move and feel their best throughout every stage of growth.

Chiropractic Process

When your child comes in for chiropractic care at our office, we start by getting to know both of you. We’ll ask about your child’s health history, routines, and any symptoms or concerns. Kids are naturally curious, so we take time to answer their questions in simple terms, show them our tools, and let them get comfortable in the office before any adjustments happen. Our child-focused techniques are gentle, brief, and designed for kids’ bodies—they’re not the same as adult adjustments, and we’ll explain what to expect every step of the way. You can expect us to check your child’s posture, alignment, and flexibility, and we may use toys or games to make the visit fun. Follow-up visits, if recommended, are based on your child’s needs and schedule. We encourage parents to stay with their child during care and help celebrate progress together. Our goal is to make every visit positive, empowering, and even something your child looks forward to.
