Pediatric Chiropractic Care | Olathe Chiropractor for Kids & Families
At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Olathe, KS, we understand that children are not “little adults”—their spines, nervous systems, and bodies are growing and changing every day. Our pediatric chiropractic care is designed for kids of all ages—from infants to teens—to support healthy development, reduce pain, and help the whole family thrive.
Why Kids Need Specialized Chiropractic Care
Children face many unique physical stresses: birth trauma, developmental changes (sitting, crawling, walking), school posture demands, sports and activity, heavy backpacks, and screen time. These stresses can lead to spinal misalignment, nerve interference, muscle tightness and discomfort—sometimes even when the child does not complain of “pain.”
Because a child’s nervous system controls growth, function and healing, keeping the spine aligned supports their overall health, posture, mobility, and comfort.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Visit
- We start with a consultation that allows you to share your child’s health history, developmental milestones, activity level, and any concerns (e.g., posture, sports injuries, headaches, ear infections, bed-wetting, or general wellness).
- Next, we perform a gentle, age-appropriate exam: posture assessment, spinal motion check, balance and coordination screening, possibly sleep/postural habit review.
- For treatment, we use techniques specially adapted for children: light and gentle chiropractic adjustments (very different from adult techniques), supportive therapies, posture coaching, and at-home stretch or activity suggestions.
- We develop a care plan that fits your child’s schedule, age, goals and family lifestyle—focusing on both relief (if needed) and long-term function and posture.
