Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Naperville
What Is a Pediatric Chiropractor?
“They’ll grow out of it.” A frequent response to so-called “common” childhood problems, such as colic, reflux, gas/digestion issues, feeding challenges, missed milestones, bedwetting, behavioral issues, and more.
But just because they’re common doesn’t mean they’re normal. When your parental instincts sound the alarm, LHW listens.
We’re neuro-focused experts in drug-free pediatric health care. We work with children as young as a few days old through adolescence and into adulthood. And while every age comes with its own specific set of interferences, we collaborate closely to identify where and how much stress is affecting your child’s nervous system. From there, we utilize several safe and effective techniques to help ensure their neuro-spinal system is clear and connected.
We aim to make our littlest members feel as comfortable as possible by showing them adjustable stuffed animals that make an actual clicking sound. We also encourage children to bring their favorite toy to come in to get “adjusted” as well. They also can help to “adjust” their parents with a miniature chiropractic adjusting tool.
Infant Chiropractic Adjustment
The first three years of a child’s life are crucial for development and immune growth. Aside from the physical stress of getting their systems moving effectively, babies are born with 100 billion neurons in their brain — the majority of the brain cells they will have for their entire lives. Newborn chiropractic care is a great way to help support their tiny bodies and brains throughout all kinds of transitions as they grow into big kids and thriving adults. If your baby is exhibiting the following behaviors, we encourage you to give us a call to see how we can help:
- Arching of the back, stiffness, or holding their head up when younger than 6 weeks
- Reflux, gas, constipation
- Head tilting or restriction to one side
- Preference for a breast or difficulty latching Flat spots on the head
- Trouble sleeping
- General fussiness or colic

Infant chiropractic adjustments are remarkably safe, often utilizing gently applied pressure — about the same amount you would use to check an avocado or tomato for ripeness. In fact, our youngest members often sleep or coo during their adjustments.
