Pediatric Chiropractic in West Lake Hills, Austin
Whether they’re an infant, toddler, teen, or somewhere in the middle, your child deserves care that helps them flourish. At Family Chiropractic Center, we believe caring for kids means looking deeper because the nervous system guides how their whole body grows and thrives.
Our chiropractors focus on helping your child’s body work the way it’s designed to. Many parents wonder why they should bring in a “healthy” baby, but birth is often the first big physical stress a child experiences. Our doctors encourage gentle, early checks to support healthy development and give you peace of mind. Unlike standard checkups that focus on symptoms, we look at how the body’s control center (the nervous system) is adapting to everyday stress.
How Pediatric Care Works Here
Your first visit includes a pediatric intake that covers pregnancy, delivery, and early life, so we can connect the dots with you. We use INSiGHT® nerve scans, a safe, noninvasive set of sensors that visually map how well your child’s nervous system is communicating.
Adjustments are gentle, using light fingertip pressure or instruments like ArthroStim®, a handheld tool that delivers precise taps without twisting. When needed, we focus on the upper neck to support Eustachian tube function and calm irritated nerves. Many families begin during pregnancy; ask about our prenatal chiropractic care.
Common Concerns We Support
We don’t chase symptoms here. Instead, we help kids function better so they can feel better. Parents often notice changes in comfort, sleep, feeding, focus, and resilience. Here are some common childhood conditions we address:
- Ear infections and recurrent congestion
- Infant colic and reflux
- Torticollis and latch challenges
- Posture or tech-neck and headaches in teens
- Support for spina bifida and developmental concerns
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a baby or child see a chiropractor?
Birth often places stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system. A gentle early check helps ensure balanced development and healthy communication. As kids grow, falls, posture strain, and screen time can also create tension that benefits from gentle care.
How can chiropractic help with ear infections, colic, or torticollis?
Gentle adjustments help the body work more efficiently. For ear infections, upper neck work may improve drainage and comfort. Parents often notice improvements in sleep, feeding, and mood.
What’s different about chiropractic care for children?
Kids are adjusted with soft touch or handheld instruments—never strong manual force. They often relax during visits, needing only a light touch to make a big difference.
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes. Techniques are tailored to age and comfort. Visits move at your child’s pace, and Dr. Sanders’ decades of experience reflect the gentle, careful approach we take with every child.
What happens if my child is nervous?
We move at your little one’s pace and make visits fun. On their first visit, some kids just watch or climb on the table. In no time, most look forward to coming in!
