Chiropractic for Children in Salt Lake City – Gentle, Effective, and Lasting Care
Safe & Natural Chiropractic Care for Infants, Toddlers, and Teens
As children grow, their bodies experience constant movement, falls, tumbles, and injuries—all of which can contribute to misalignments and accumulated stress in their developing musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
At Gentle Chiropractic Salt Lake City, we specialize in providing light-force, precise chiropractic adjustments that help children recover from birth trauma, sports injuries, posture issues, and general growing pains—all without popping, cracking, or excessive visits.
Why Chiropractic Care for Kids?
Children’s bodies adapt quickly to stress and injury, which means they respond exceptionally well to gentle chiropractic care. Unlike adults, whose bodies have built up years of compensations, children typically need only 1-2 visits to experience lasting relief and correction.
Our OS Chiropractic method accurately identifies areas of stored stress, making it possible to resolve tension, improve stability, and promote long-term well-being.

✅ Structural & Postural Concerns

- Mid-back, low-back, & hip pain
✅ Sports & Play Injuries
- Falls & tumbles from play
- Sports injuries (soccer, gymnastics, dance, football, etc.)
- Knee, ankle, and foot misalignments
✅ Jaw, Head, & Neurological Issues

A gentle, targeted approach ensures that your child’s growing body stays balanced, strong, and pain-free.
Why Choose OS Chiropractic for Your Child?
1. Safe & Gentle Adjustments
Unlike traditional chiropractic care that relies on forceful manipulations, our light-force, precise adjustments correct misalignments in a way that the body naturally holds onto for longer periods.
2. Fewer Visits, Lasting Results
Because children respond so well to adjustments, most only need 1-2 visits for significant, lasting correction. Compared to adults, who may require 3-5 visits over 8 weeks, kids recover much faster.
3. No Popping, No Cracking – Just Gentle Corrections
Our approach ensures that even the most sensitive or hesitant children feel comfortable throughout their treatment.
4. Comprehensive, Real-Time Analysis
We analyze the body with extreme precision, testing not just the bones but also:
✔️ Ligaments
✔️ Muscles
✔️ Cartilage
✔️ Fascia & dura mater
✔️ Nervous system stress points
By identifying all underlying causes of misalignment, we create a clean slate effect, allowing the body to maintain its corrected state for extended periods.
How Chiropractic Can Benefit Children at Every Stage
👶 Infants & Babies (0-2 Years)
Birth itself is a stressful process for a newborn’s spine and nervous system. Many parents bring their infants to us for:
✔️ Colic & excessive fussiness
✔️ Breastfeeding & latching difficulties
✔️ Sleep disturbances
✔️ Torticollis & head tilting
Chiropractic care can help gently realign the spine, easing tension and improving nervous system function.
🧒 Toddlers & Young Children (3-7 Years)
This is a period of rapid physical development and increased activity. Kids experience:
✔️ Frequent falls & tumbles
✔️ Postural changes from growing
✔️ Play-related sprains & injuries
Even if your child isn’t complaining of pain, early corrections can prevent long-term postural issues.
👦 Pre-Teens & Teens (8-18 Years)
With sports, screen time, and school-related postural stress, older children and teenagers often develop:
✔️ Neck, back, and hip pain from heavy backpacks & poor posture
✔️ Sports-related injuries & overuse syndromes
✔️ Jaw pain & TMJ from braces or grinding teeth
✔️ Headaches & concentration difficulties
Regular chiropractic check-ups help ensure that your child grows with optimal posture, balance, and nervous system function.
