Children’s bodies are constantly growing, developing, and adapting to daily physical demands. From learning to sit and walk to carrying backpacks, playing sports, and using digital devices, these activities can place stress on the spine, muscles, and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting healthy movement, proper alignment, and overall comfort throughout childhood and adolescence.

Infant Chiropractic Care
The first months of life involve rapid growth, development, and physical adaptation. From the birthing process to early feeding, sleeping positions, and learning to lift and turn their head, an infant’s spine and muscles are constantly adjusting. These early physical stresses can sometimes lead to tension, restricted movement, or imbalances that may affect comfort and mobility.
At Genesis Chiropractic, we provide gentle, specialized chiropractic care for infants using light, precise techniques designed specifically for newborns and babies. Dr. Tiffani Fries, DC uses safe, age-appropriate methods that involve no forceful movements—often no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. These techniques focus on supporting healthy spinal alignment, nervous system function, and natural movement patterns.
Infant chiropractic care may help support babies experiencing colic, persistent crying, feeding challenges related to tension, head tilt or stiffness (torticollis), limited range of motion, and general discomfort. Each infant receives a careful, individualized assessment to ensure care is appropriate and tailored to their developmental stage.
At Genesis Chiropractic, we are honored to support your baby’s healthy development from the very beginning of life.
