In today’s digital world, certain conditions relating to posture are becoming more common than ever, children included.
At LifeWorks Family Chiropractic, we focus on helping children grow strong, balanced, and resilient by helping ease multiple pediatric chiropractic conditions.
For over 17 years, we’ve supported families in Kelowna by providing pediatric chiropractic care that helps kids adapt, move well, and stay active.
Our approach uses neuro-structural adjustments, posture improvement, and simple lifestyle coaching to help children develop in a healthy way.
We understand that parents want natural, effective options to keep their kids thriving. Our pediatric care is designed to support the nervous system, which plays a key role in how children move, focus, and recover from everyday stress.
Supporting Healthy Growth and Development
Childhood is a time of rapid physical change. Falls, tumbles, and posture challenges can create tension in the spine and muscles. Our goal is to keep the spine moving properly so the nervous system can function clearly.
We often see children with concerns related to posture imbalances, scoliosis, uneven walking patterns, and coordination challenges.
Gentle adjustments help the body work as it should, giving kids a better foundation for growth. Many parents notice improved comfort, better balance, and more ease in daily activities after care.
Helping with Sports and Physical Activities
Active kids sometimes experience strain from running, jumping, or carrying heavy school bags. We regularly help children who deal with joint stiffness, muscle tension, or reduced range of motion after sports practice. These can all be considered pediatric chiropractic conditions.
Our chiropractic care can assist with keeping the spine flexible and aligned, which helps kids move freely and avoid overcompensation injuries. This is especially valuable during growth spurts when the body is changing quickly.
Improving Posture and Spinal Alignment
Poor posture is common in today’s tech-driven world. Hours spent looking down at screens, even true in the case of children, can create forward head posture and rounded shoulders. This extra stress can affect the entire spine and nervous system.
We focus on restoring natural posture so children can sit, stand, and play without unnecessary strain. Posture checks, ergonomic advice, and specific adjustments all work together to create healthier habits early in life.
Addressing Nervous System Interference
When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with how the nervous system sends messages to the body. This may show up as irritability, restless sleep, or difficulty focusing.
Our precise traditional approach involved adjustments that remove this interference, allowing the brain and body to communicate more clearly. Some parents report seeing their children become calmer, more coordinated, and better able to handle daily stress.
Support During Growth Spurts
Rapid growth can sometimes lead to muscle tightness, clumsiness, or back discomfort. Our team helps children during these stages by keeping their structure balanced. This promotes better mobility and reduces unnecessary tension as their bodies adapt.
Scoliosis Checks
If you suspect your child may have scoliosis, a comprehensive evaluation by a chiropractor is a good first step. Clues that an evaluation is in order include observing one hip or shoulder is higher than the other or seeing a slight sideways curve of the spine when your child bends forward to touch their toes.
Assisting with Balance and Coordination
Kids who struggle with balance or coordination can benefit from care focused on improving spinal alignment and nervous system function. This may help them perform better in sports, play more confidently, and stay safer during physical activity. An experienced child chiropractor for conditions like imbalance and poor coordination will be able to help your child.
Helping Kids Recover from Everyday Strain
Falls from bikes, playground accidents, and sports collisions are all common parts of childhood. These small injuries can create tension in the spine, even if kids seem fine afterward. We recommend routine spinal checks to catch and correct these issues early.
Stress Reduction and Sleep Support
Children today face mental and emotional stress from school and busy schedules. This stress can show up as muscle tightness, headaches, or restless nights.
Our care focuses on calming the nervous system so the body can relax. Parents often notice their kids sleeping more soundly and handling stress better after regular visits.
Peripheral Neuropathy Support for Older Children and Teens
Although more common in adults, we also see teens who experience numbness, tingling, or weakness due to peripheral neuropathy caused by injuries or other factors.
Our clinic uses Class 4 Laser Therapy (HILT) to stimulate healing in affected nerves and soft tissue. This high-intensity approach can encourage faster recovery and improve comfort.
Gentle Care for Infants
The birth process can place stress on a baby’s spine and neck, and on the bright side, even newborns can benefit from gentle, safe adjustments under licensed chiropractors. We provide very light adjustments to help restore proper movement and support early development.
Parents often bring infants in for concerns such as difficulty latching, stiffness when turning the head, or fussiness when lying down. Our pediatric chiropractic care is designed to be extremely gentle and comfortable for babies.
