Pediatric Chiropractic in Mt. Pleasant

Giving Your Child the Best Start in Life

Pediatric chiropractic care at Family Wellness Chiropractic focuses on ensuring your child’s brain and nervous system develop properly from the very beginning. Using gentle, age-appropriate techniques, Dr. Antoinette helps children overcome early challenges and build a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

Why Children Need Chiropractic Care

The journey from pregnancy through early childhood can create stress on a developing nervous system. Birth trauma, falls, and even everyday activities can interfere with proper brain development. Many parents don’t realize that issues like colic, sleep problems, difficulty focusing, or frequent illnesses often stem from nervous system stress rather than “normal” childhood challenges. Early intervention can make a remarkable difference in your child’s development and overall well-being.

Dr. Antoinette uses incredibly gentle techniques specifically designed for children of all ages. For infants, adjustments involve light finger pressure – no more than the pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. As children grow, techniques are carefully adapted to their size and developmental stage. Our kid-friendly office includes a special play area where nervous children can feel comfortable and see that chiropractic care is safe and gentle.

Common Childhood Issues We Address

Many childhood challenges that parents accept as “normal” can actually be signs of nervous system stress. Dr. Antoinette frequently helps children with sleep difficulties, behavioral challenges, frequent ear infections, and trouble with focus or learning. She also pays special attention to posture problems caused by heavy backpacks, poor desk ergonomics, and excessive screen time – issues that are becoming increasingly common in today’s technology-driven world.

A Comprehensive Approach to Wellness

Before any care begins, Dr. Antoinette takes a detailed history that includes information about pregnancy, birth, and early development. She looks at the whole picture – from prenatal stress to birth circumstances to current challenges – to understand how your child’s nervous system has been affected. This thorough approach allows her to create the most effective, personalized care plan for your child’s unique needs.
