Pediatric Chiropractic Services
At Advanced Physical Medicine of St. Charles, we’re committed to supporting the healthy growth and development of school-aged children and teens. Through our pediatric chiropractic services, we help young patients manage musculoskeletal concerns related to posture, physical activity, and overall spinal health. Whether your child is experiencing discomfort from carrying heavy backpacks, recovering from a sports-related strain, or dealing with developmental alignment issues, our experienced team provides safe, individualized care to help them feel and function their best.
Common Conditions We Treat in Pediatric Patients
As children grow and become more physically active, their developing bodies can be prone to specific musculoskeletal issues. At Advanced Physical Medicine of St. Charles, we provide specialized chiropractic care tailored to the unique needs of school-aged children and adolescents.
- Many of our pediatric patients come to us for concerns such as:
- Persistent back or neck discomfort
- Postural changes, including slouching or uneven shoulders
- Sports injuries, such as joint sprains or muscle strains
- Mild scoliosis symptoms and spinal asymmetries
- Joint stiffness or restricted movement
- Discomfort related to rapid growth phases
These conditions, while common, can interfere with daily comfort, physical performance, and long-term health if left unaddressed. Our clinical team is experienced in evaluating pediatric biomechanics to detect subtle dysfunctions and create personalized care plans that promote proper alignment and prevent further issues.
Our Safe, Gentle Approach to Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic care for children and teens requires clinical precision and a thoughtful, individualized touch. Each session begins with a full evaluation of posture, movement, and joint function to determine the most appropriate course of care.
Dr. Glenn uses gentle, age-specific techniques designed to improve mobility, reduce tension, and support proper alignment. High-force adjustments are not used with pediatric patients. Instead, care may include light joint mobilization, soft tissue work, or guided stretching, methods chosen for both their safety and effectiveness.
Young patients are encouraged to ask questions and stay engaged in their care. Every effort is made to ensure a calm, reassuring environment that puts both the child and parent at ease. When additional support is needed, we collaborate with our in-house physical therapy team to build a comprehensive care plan tailored to your child’s needs.
Is Pediatric Chiropractic Right for Your Child?
Muscle tension, joint discomfort, and posture-related issues are becoming more common among school-aged children and teens. These physical challenges can interfere with activity, concentration, and overall well-being if not addressed early.
Through pediatric chiropractic services, we focus on improving mobility, restoring balance, and relieving strain in ways that support a child’s natural development. When evaluated by a trained professional, many young patients respond well to conservative care that encourages better movement and comfort.
Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your child’s needs. We explain each step clearly, involve parents in decision-making, and recommend care only when it’s appropriate and beneficial.
