Reasons Parents May Seek Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Children and teens may experience musculoskeletal discomfort related to growth, sports, school activities, prolonged sitting, technology use, or minor injuries. Common reasons families may bring a child to Elite Chiropractic include:

- Posture concerns and prolonged sitting
- Sports and activity-related injuries
- Muscle tension, soreness, or stiffness
- Joint discomfort or reduced mobility
- Minor strains related to physical activity

Our Approach to Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Care begins with a discussion of the child’s symptoms, health history, activities, previous injuries, and the concerns of the parent or guardian. When appropriate, an examination may include posture, movement, mobility, and other musculoskeletal findings.
Treatment is individualized and adapted to the child’s age and needs. Care may include age-appropriate chiropractic techniques, mobility work, rehabilitative exercises, soft-tissue techniques, and activity recommendations when appropriate.
Our goal is to help address musculoskeletal discomfort, support comfortable movement, and help children and teens remain active in school, sports, recreation, and everyday activities.
Pediatric Sports Injury & Activity-Related Care
Young athletes can experience sprains, strains, soreness, overuse problems, and other musculoskeletal concerns related to sports and physical activity. Dr. Matt Kelly, DC, MS has a Master of Science in Sports Injury Management and extensive experience working with athletes and active patients.
For children and teens with sports-related concerns, care may focus on mobility, movement, rehabilitation, and a gradual return to activity based on the type of injury and the child’s individual needs. Learn more about our

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Chiropractic Care
How is pediatric chiropractic care adapted for children and teens?
Pediatric care is individualized based on the child’s age, size, symptoms, health history, comfort, and needs. Techniques and treatment recommendations are adapted for the individual child rather than using the same approach used for every patient.
What conditions do children commonly visit a chiropractor for?
Families may seek chiropractic care for musculoskeletal concerns such as neck or back discomfort, posture problems, muscle tension, joint stiffness, sports injuries, or activity-related strains.
Is pediatric chiropractic care the same as adult chiropractic care?
No. Techniques and treatment recommendations should be adapted to a child’s age, size, condition, comfort level, and individual needs.
Can chiropractic care treat colic, ear infections, reflux, or behavior problems?
Elite Chiropractic does not present chiropractic care as a treatment for infections, digestive disorders, behavioral conditions, or other pediatric medical conditions. Children with these concerns should be evaluated by their pediatrician or another appropriate medical professional.
Does my child need X-rays?
Not every child needs imaging. X-rays or other imaging may be considered when symptoms, examination findings, injury history, trauma, or other clinical factors suggest that additional evaluation would be useful.
Can chiropractic care be used for youth sports injuries?
Some young athletes may receive conservative musculoskeletal care for sports-related strains, sprains, mobility problems, and other activity-related concerns. The appropriate approach depends on the type and severity of the injury and the child’s individual needs.
When should my child see a pediatrician or seek urgent medical care?
Seek medical evaluation for significant trauma, severe or rapidly worsening pain, obvious deformity, fever or illness, significant weakness, loss of sensation, difficulty walking, unexplained symptoms, or any concern that may require medical diagnosis or treatment.
Does pediatric chiropractic care replace regular pediatric medical care?
No. Chiropractic care does not replace routine pediatric medical care, vaccinations, diagnosis, or treatment of childhood illness. Children should continue receiving appropriate care from their pediatrician and other healthcare professionals.
