Pediatric Chiropractic in Hudson
As a father of four, Dr. Jason is passionate about helping children experience optimal health through natural chiropractic care. He first adjusted his kids when they were less than an hour old! In most cases, we see infants as young as a few days old. At The Chiropractic Place, we prioritize the well-being of children and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system from an early age.
Pediatric adjusting is incredibly gentle, utilizing pressure that is comparable to pushing on a closed eye without causing any pain. This level of gentleness ensures the comfort and safety of your little one during the adjustment process.

Why Consider Chiropractic Care for Newborns?
Even in cases where a baby’s delivery went smoothly, and they received a clean bill of health from medical professionals, chiropractic care can still be beneficial. The brain and spinal cord control every function in the body, and the development and growth of an infant can place pressure on the spinal column. Even the birthing process alone can exert significant pressure on a baby’s head and neck.
As babies sleep, crawl, roll over, and learn to walk, they encounter various situations that can strain their delicate necks and spines. From accidental falls to bumps and tumbles, these experiences can impact their spinal alignment. By addressing these issues early on, we can help prevent future complications and maintain their overall health and well-being.
Common Reasons for Chiropractic Visits
Parents often bring their children to our practice when they notice certain signs or concerns. Some common reasons include:
If your baby consistently favors one side, that could cause a flat spot on their head.
Does your baby only feed on one side or one direction?
We see many ear infections, it is the number one reason infants visit a chiropractor in the United States. Ear infections and reflux can be due to a misalignment in the spinal column putting pressure on the nervous system that can cause the body to work improperly.
As your child reaches important developmental milestones like crawling, rolling over, and walking, it’s essential to ensure optimal spinal alignment.
Maintaining spinal alignment becomes crucial as children age and participate in physical activities like sports. Proper spinal function enhances performance and minimizes the risk of further damage.
Chiropractic can effectively address all of these issues and more.
Help for Scoliosis in Tweens and Teens
During the tweens and teens ages, growing pains and scoliosis can become common concerns. Girls, especially gymnasts and soccer players, are more prone to scoliosis. Detecting scoliosis at an early stage is essential for preventing its progression. Chiropractic care can offer corrective measures to improve or stabilize the curvature, minimizing the need for invasive treatments like bracing or surgery.
Addressing Headaches in Children and Teens
Headaches are not uncommon among children and teens, but their frequency should not be overlooked. Chronic headaches can be a sign of underlying issues related to the alignment of the skull and the first bone in the neck. Chiropractic care can help alleviate migraines and headaches by addressing these structural imbalances.
