Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care Right for Your Child?
The birth process, whether vaginal or C-section, places significant physical stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system. As children grow, falls, posture habits, sports activities, and developmental milestones continue to affect spinal alignment. Pediatric chiropractic care addresses these issues gently and safely, supporting your child’s nervous system, immune function, sleep, digestion, and overall development. Parents in Aurora commonly bring their children to Dr. Pegah for colic, reflux, sleep difficulties, torticollis, ear infections, and general wellness checks.
What Does Dr. Pegah Do During a Pediatric Visit?
Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are nothing like adult adjustments. Dr. Pegah uses extremely gentle, fingertip pressure, no more force than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato, to assess and gently correct spinal misalignments in babies and children.
Each pediatric session includes:
Birth trauma assessment — checking for tension or misalignment in the upper cervical spine caused by the forces of labour and delivery.
Gentle spinal and cranial assessment — identifying areas of restriction that may be affecting your baby’s comfort, feeding, or sleep.
Soft tissue release — relieving tension in neck muscles that can cause torticollis or difficulty turning the head to one side.
Nervous system evaluation — ensuring your child’s nervous system is free of interference so their body can grow, develop, and heal optimally.
Developmental milestone support — helping infants and toddlers achieve healthy movement patterns as they learn to sit, crawl, stand, and walk.
What Can You Expect After Treatment?
Parents commonly report improvements in their baby’s sleep, feeding, digestion, and overall comfort after just a few gentle sessions. Older children often experience better posture, reduced growing pains, improved focus, and fewer headaches. Pediatric chiropractic care is cumulative, each session builds on the last, with most patients seeing significant improvement within 3 to 6 visits. Dr. Pegah sees children of all ages at her Aurora clinic, from newborns just days old to teenagers.
