Pediatric Chiropractic Care in the Greater Pittsburgh Area

Gentle Chiropractic Care for Infants, Children & Adolescents

Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting healthy movement, comfort, and development as children grow. At Randour Chiropractic, we provide gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care for infants, children, and teens in a calm, family-centered environment.

Children experience physical stress from birth, growth spurts, posture, school activities, sports, and everyday movement. Our goal is to evaluate how the spine and musculoskeletal system are functioning and provide care that supports your child’s comfort and overall well-being.

What Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?

Pediatric chiropractic care uses gentle, low-force techniques tailored specifically to a child’s age, size, and development. Unlike adult adjustments, pediatric care focuses on light pressure and precise movement to support joint mobility and nervous system function.

Care is always customized and conservative, with an emphasis on safety, comfort, and communication.

Common Conditions We Treat at Randour Chiropractic Clinics

  • Colic can be distressing for both infants and parents. Gentle chiropractic care may help support infants experiencing colic by addressing tension patterns in the spine and surrounding soft tissues that can affect comfort and nervous system regulation.

    Care is extremely gentle and focused on reducing physical stress that may contribute to prolonged crying or discomfort.

  • Some infants and children experience reflux-related discomfort that may be influenced by muscular tension or restricted movement patterns. Pediatric chiropractic care may help support improved comfort by addressing spinal and musculoskeletal factors that can contribute to digestive stress.

    This approach is non-invasive and used as a complement to medical guidance.

  • Recurrent ear infections are a common concern in young children. Pediatric chiropractic care may help support proper movement and drainage in the neck and surrounding structures, which can play a role in ear pressure and discomfort.

    Our approach is gentle and focused on supporting the body’s natural function.

  • Youth sports and physical activities place repetitive stress on growing bodies. Pediatric chiropractic care may help support young athletes experiencing sports-related strains, joint stiffness, muscle tension, or overuse injuries.

    Our approach focuses on evaluating movement patterns, joint mobility, and muscular balance to support safe recovery and healthy performance. All care is age-appropriate and tailored to your child’s sport and activity level.
