A pediatric chiropractor focuses on providing chiropractic care specifically for children—from toddlers to teenagers. This specialised form of care is gentle, safe, and tailored to the needs of growing bodies. As children develop, they encounter various physical stresses from daily activities such as play, sports, and natural growth. Pediatric chiropractic care helps maintain proper spinal alignment, supporting optimal nervous system function. This may contribute to better sleep, improved behaviour, enhanced immune function, and overall healthier development. Pediatric chiropractors are trained in soft, child-appropriate techniques to ensure adjustments are both comfortable and effective.
Birth is a physically demanding experience for both mother and baby. During delivery, significant pressure and forces act on the infant’s body—particularly the neck, head, and cranial areas.
In a study conducted by Dr. Viola Frymann, an American osteopathic physician, it was found that 90% of newborns showed signs of birth-related strain, particularly in the neck and cranial areas. Over eight years, she evaluated more than 1,500 babies within the first five days of life—many within the first 24 hours.
Her findings showed:
10% of newborn babies had perfect, freely mobile skulls or cranial mechanisms.
10% had severe trauma to the head, evident even to untrained observers.
The remaining 80% had some strain patterns in the cranial mechanisms.
While every birth is unique, these findings highlight that physical stress during delivery is common; even the smoothest deliveries can leave subtle, unnoticed strain. As researcher G. Gytmann noted, “Trauma from the birth process remains an under-publicised and therefore significantly under-treated problem.”

Because of these concerns, some families explore gentle manual therapies—such as pediatric chiropractic or osteopathic care—as one option for assessing and addressing potential tension or mobility issues after birth. These approaches typically use very light pressure and aim to support comfort, movement, and overall well-being.
