Pediatric Chiropractic in Spring Lake
When your child isn’t sleeping well, struggles with frequent ear infections, or just seems uncomfortable in their own body, you want answers—not just another prescription. At Well Adjusted Chiropractic, Dr. Michael Weiss offers gentle, kid-centered chiropractic care that helps children feel better, sleep deeper, and thrive as they grow.
From brand-new babies to busy teenagers, we tailor every visit to your child’s age, size, and comfort level. The goal is simple: help their body work the way it was designed to.
What Is Pediatric Chiropractic—and Why Does It Matter?
Here’s something many parents don’t realize: kids face a lot of the same alignment stresses that adults do. Hours hunched over homework, looking down at screens, gaming marathons, sports impacts, growth spurts—it all adds up.
Dr. Weiss checks for subtle misalignments and tension affecting your child’s spine and nervous system. Then, using adjustments that are far gentler than what you’d see with adult care, he helps restore better alignment and movement. This supports your child’s natural ability to heal and develop properly.
When Parents Bring Their Kids to See Us
You know your child better than anyone. Sometimes you just have a feeling that something’s “off,” even if your child can’t quite put it into words yet.
Parents often come to us for help with:
- Newborn challenges like colic, reflux, and trouble latching or breastfeeding
- Torticollis (when baby’s head turns to one side) or developing flat spots
- Recurrent ear infections that keep coming back
- Difficulty settling down or staying asleep through the night
- Posture changes or strains from sports and activities
Many families notice their children become more comfortable, sleep better, digest more easily, stand taller, and just seem more resilient overall.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Appointment
- First Visit (up to 1 hour): We’ll sit down together and talk. Dr. Weiss wants to understand your child’s history, what you’ve noticed, and what you’re hoping care can address. Then he’ll do an age-appropriate exam—gentle, calm, and never rushed. X-rays are only used when truly necessary.
- Second Visit (about 30 minutes): Dr. Weiss will explain what he found and outline a personalized care plan for your child.
- Regular Visits (15-20 minutes): Once your child is in a care routine, visits are quick and comfortable.
A Gentle, Respectful Approach
Children are never adjusted with the same force used for adults—not even close. Dr. Weiss uses light, precise touch and takes time to build trust with each child. If your little one isn’t ready, we don’t push. This is about helping them feel safe and supported every step of the way.
