At Clearbrook Chiropractic and Massage, we believe a healthy start begins with a well-supported nervous system. Our care is designed to support pregnant moms, newborns, and growing children using gentle, specific, and age-appropriate chiropractic techniques.
Led by Dr. Dana Gueldner, with advanced pediatric and perinatal certification, we provide a calm and supportive environment where families feel confident in their care. Our goal is to support healthy development while helping children thrive.
Gentle Care for Babies & Children
Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting your child’s growth, development, and comfort—right from the beginning. Adjustments are incredibly gentle, often using no more pressure than checking the ripeness of a tomato. Parents commonly seek care for:
-
- Healthy spinal mobility
-
- Balanced movement patterns
-
- Coordination and development
-
- Comfort during growth
-
- Correcting asymmetries
Newborn Care
Birth is a significant physical experience for both mom and baby. Even smooth deliveries can result in tension in the neck, spine, or body. Parents commonly seek care for:
-
- Feeding or latching challenges
-
- Early movement restrictions such as head preference or torticollis
-
- Body tension or stiffness after birth
-
- Digestive discomfort
-
- Sleep and settling difficulties
Infant & Toddler Development
As babies grow and reach milestones like rolling, crawling, and walking, their bodies undergo rapid changes. We provide gentle care to support healthy movement and coordination.
