If this sounds like your baby, you’ll want to keep reading. 👀

SWIPE ➡️ to learn all about torticollis!

Dr. Shadley + Dr. Tom at in Pittsburgh, PA are trained pediatric chiropractors and have been specially trained to GENTLY adjust (no “cracking”) newborns, infants, toddlers, and children.

We work on your baby’s cranial and spinal alignment while using soft tissue therapy to encourage normal mobility. This ultimately helps to balance baby’s whole body, including their tight little neck muscles. 💛

Our office is truly family-friendly. And we mean it - we fully expect your children to be loud and rambunctious. 😉

As parents ourselves, we totally get it. We understand the beautiful chaos of family life because we live it too!

Need someone to hold your little one while you get adjusted? We’ve got you covered. Need a moment to yourself for the first time all day? Absolutely. Do crying or tantrums throw us off? Not even a little.

We meet your child exactly where they are – if that means adjusting them while they play with toys on the floor, that’s exactly what we’ll do! Treatment rooms that actually fit strollers, snacks and sippy cups are always welcome, and yes - we have a fully stocked changing table and nursing chair, too.

Our family adjusting rooms are full of engaging toys and activities to keep little ones entertained, taking all the stress out of your appointment.

If you’re in the Pittsburgh, PA area, we are here for you. What are you waiting for? Set up your appointment using the link in our bio. 💚

When a baby cries for hours every day, most parents are told the same thing: “it’s just colic.”

Which usually means… “wait it out”. 🙄

But many babies labeled as “colicky” are actually dealing with things like feeding difficulties, trapped air, body tension, or head and neck tightness that makes it hard for them to settle.

When we look at the whole picture — feeding mechanics, body tension, and nervous system regulation — we often find things we can actually help.

Sometimes the difference between a constantly crying baby and a more settled one is support for their body and feeding. 🧡

If your baby has been labeled colicky and you feel like something else might be going on, you’re not overthinking it.

We’re here to help you figure it out.

One of the most common fears I hear from pregnant parents: “What if my milk doesn’t come in right away?”

⚠️ There’s a lot of misinformation around this. Many families are told their baby needs formula on the first day or two simply because milk hasn’t “come in” yet.

At the end of pregnancy, your body starts making colostrum. ✨ This thick, golden milk (yes, it’s your first milk, and it’s there when your baby is born) is exactly what newborns are designed to eat. Their stomachs are tiny, and colostrum is packed with nutrients, antibodies, and everything they need in those early hours/days.

As long as your baby is feeding frequently and we’re seeing other healthy signs like swallowing at the breast, enough wet + dirty diapers, and normal weight patterns, supplementation is often not needed.

Your body is already preparing the perfect first food for your baby. 🙌

If you’re pregnant and want to feel more prepared for feeding your baby, a prenatal lactation consultation can help you understand what to expect, how to deal with common issues, and when extra support might actually be needed. Schedule your appointment using the link in our bio!

Our Story

Dr. Shadley Centofanti first became interested in chiropractic while she was in high school after she sustained a back injury at a soccer tournament. She was never one to take medication for pain, and she was drawn to the natural and holistic field of chiropractic. After experiencing relief of her back pain within a few visits, she was intrigued and decided to look further into becoming a chiropractor. She first decided to enroll at Michigan State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. After that, she continued to pursue a career in chiropractic by attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2017. Dr. Shadley is Webster Certified by the ICPA, and she is a Certified BIRTHFIT Professional. Dr. Shadley has a special interest in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic patients, and she would love to help you and your family on the road to better health! Dr. Tom Centofanti graduated Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 2017. Before that, he was proud to be a Spartan while attending Michigan State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Dr. Tom chose chiropractic as his career because he appreciated the natural healthcare model that chiropractic offered. He loves to help people and see their smiling faces when they start feeling the amazing impact that chiropractic care can have on their overall quality of life. Dr. Shadley and Dr. Tom met while in high school, and they continued to date until they got married in 2014. They currently live in Mt. Lebanon and enjoy spending time with their family, taking their dog Ava for walks, and traveling. They especially enjoy football season where they cheer on the Spartans on Saturdays and the Steelers on Sundays!
