Pediatric Chiropractic in Port St Lucie
The nervous system is the first to develop when a baby is conceived. With an egg from Mom and a sperm from Dad, the power of our universe begins to multiply to create a whole new human. Their little body knows exactly how to develop and immediately comes under control of the nervous system to coordinate all other systems as they form.

Why Kids Need Chiropractic Care
During what are often labeled “natural” births, doctors may assist the baby out of the womb, using excessive amounts of force to extract their delicate body. This force, coupled with the twisting and bending that occurs, is where a child’s first subluxation can develop.
Growing kiddos often become subluxated as they challenge themselves to take their next step in development and reach the next milestone. Acquiring the strength to hold up their heavy heads, responding to their surroundings, positioning their bodies in space, and learning to become mobile are all new stresses for their malleable little bodies.
Improper positioning of the bones in the spine can cause abnormal tension and stress on the nerves. This complex is called a vertebral subluxation and has been linked to several common childhood conditions (called secondary conditions), including:
- ADD/ADHD
- Allergies/asthma
- Athletic injuries
- Bed wetting
- Colic
- Digestive problems (GERD, acid reflux)
- Ear infections
- Emotional health
- Fatigue
- Frequent colds
- Headaches/migraines
- Sensory processing disorders
- Sinus problems
- Torticollis
- Trouble sleeping
Our Approach
Adjustments for children are different from adjustments for adults. Dr. Victoria and Dr. Robert use very light, gentle touches and pressures (about the amount required to check for the ripeness of a tomato) when adjusting the spine of your little human. Dr Victoria has been studying chiropractic care specifically for the pediatric population since 2013, and has a passion for helping children become the best expression of themselves.
Every adjustment builds upon the previous visit and has the power to change the trajectory of a child’s rapidly growing brain and the way they experience the world around them. Children often express the positive impact of gentle adjustments through noticeable improvement in the way their body’s function. These improvements may look like:
- More restful sleep patterns and reduced restlessness
- Advancements in coordination and physical development
- Calming of “busy brain” symptoms associated with anxiety, leading to improved focus and reduced stress
- Improved digestive functions leading to better overall health
- Greater ability to manage sensory processing challenges, resulting in a more balanced response to environmental stimuli
- Enhanced emotional stability and better engagement in social settings
