Pediatric Chiropractic in St Catharines
The birthing process places significant stress on a baby’s delicate spine, particularly the upper cervical region. Think of a grapefruit-sized head passing through an orange-sized opening while someone pulls to help with delivery. This trauma may create misalignments that affect nervous system function from the very beginning of life.
Dr. Bob has seen remarkable improvements in colicky babies, sleep-disrupted infants, and children with recurring ear infections through gentle chiropractic care that addresses these early spinal stresses.

Young Bodies Need Extremely Gentle Techniques
One memorable house call involved a baby who hadn’t slept in five days due to colic. After gentle treatment, the parents called hours later, asking why they hadn’t been warned about the dramatic bowel movement that followed, which brought immediate relief to their little one.
Common Childhood Conditions We See
Parents often report that children under our regular care experience fewer colds, ear infections, and sick days compared to their peers. While Dr. Bob doesn’t treat these conditions directly, supporting proper nervous system function allows the body’s natural immune responses to work more efficiently.
Conditions like torticollis respond particularly well to early intervention. The longer these issues remain untreated, the more they could affect a child’s developing posture and movement patterns.
Building Healthy Foundations for Kids
Regular chiropractic check-ups during childhood help establish healthy spinal function that could last a lifetime. Just as you wouldn’t wait for cavities to cause pain before dental care, addressing spinal health early prevents minor problems from developing into more serious issues later.
Children learn by example, and when they see their parents prioritizing spinal health, they understand that taking care of their bodies is important.
