Pediatric Chiropractic at Prince George Family Chiropractic
Care for Kids of All Ages
From learning to walk to taking a spill on the playground, children experience bumps, tumbles, and stresses on their growing bodies every day. Our chiropractors provide gentle care designed to support healthy movement and development. Many parents choose chiropractic care for their kids after seeing the benefits it has had for their own families.
Why Families Choose Us
Dr. Morgan began caring for children after noticing the positive effects chiropractic care had on his own kids. As both of his kids were active gymnasts, he saw firsthand how regular care helped them manage the demands of training and everyday activity. Today, our team cares for infants, toddlers, and children across Prince George, helping families feel supported as their children grow.
Childhood Conditions We Often See
Parents bring children to us for many reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Limited neck movement in infants, often seen as difficulty turning or latching
- Discomfort following tumbles, sports, or daily play
- Postural changes that may appear during growth
By addressing these issues early, kids are better able to move comfortably and continue enjoying the activities they love.
What to Expect
Appointments with children are always adapted to their age and comfort level. For infants, our chiropractors often use the Activator®, a small instrument that allows for very gentle adjustments. Older kids may receive light manual care, always at a level appropriate for their size.
To build trust, we encourage children to explore the equipment, watch a parent or sibling receive care first, or even turn the experience into a game. Our focus is always on creating a calm, supportive atmosphere where little ones feel safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my child need to be adjusted?
Parents often ask this first, which is understandable. After all, they likely aren’t complaining of back pain at a young age. Children’s spines and joints can be affected by everyday stresses, from birth through active play, which is why many families choose chiropractic care.
Do babies even have bones?
Yes, they do! Their bones are softer and made mostly of cartilage, and our chiropractors work gently with the joints rather than the bones themselves.
If I don’t want ongoing visits, what should I watch for?
Some parents prefer to bring children only when needed (and we always respect that decision). With toddlers, this may be harder to spot, but by around age 7, many little ones will actually tell their parents when they feel they need to come back.
