Pediatric Chiropractic 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, Lifetime Health & Wellness 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.
Neuro-focused Chiropractic And Kids
Children face a whole new set of stressors once they reach school age. With an uptick in homework and social pressures, this is often the time we start to see challenges with mood and focus. Physical stresses such as heavy backpacks, hours sitting at desks, increased sports participation, and growing screen time can also have a negative effect on our kiddos.
A neuro-focused chiropractic approach can help with:
- ADD/ADHD/focus challenges
- Sensory Processing Disorder
- Mood regulation
- Autism and spectrum
- Anxiety and stress
- Ear infections
- Sleep issues
- Bedwetting
- Re-occurring sicknesses
- Headaches
- Growing pains
- Sports injuries
Infant Chiropractic Adjustments
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 or stiffness
- 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
“My newborn is now being seen at Lifetime Health & Wellness to assist with trapped gas and feeding issues. The adjustments are so gentle that he sleeps right through them. I highly recommend this practice for all your family chiropractic needs!” Brittany L.

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 patients often sleep or coo during adjustments.
