“My child gets headaches… is that normal?”
Headaches aren’t just an adult problem. School-aged children may experience tension-type headaches, migraines, or headaches linked to screen time, posture, stress, or even dehydration.

Chiropractic care can help identify musculoskeletal causes — like neck tension and postural strain — and support children with gentle, age-appropriate care that eases discomfort and improves quality of life.

Let’s help kids feel better, naturally. A chiropractor can assess the whole picture and support a tailored care plan.

Musculoskeletal Dysfunction in Infants: Signs and How Chiropractic Can Help

Does your baby:
- Tilt or turn their head to one side?
- Struggle with breastfeeding or bottle feeding?
- Make clicking noises while feeding?
- Prefer one breast over the other?
- Have trouble sleeping?
- Look like a “banana” when lying down?
- Dislikes tummy time?
- Hates the car seat?
- Cry excessively?
- Have gas and strain frequently?

If you answered yes to any of these, your baby may be experiencing **musculoskeletal dysfunction**. This system supports movement through muscles, bones, joints, and more. When there’s dysfunction, it can lead to discomfort, pain, and even developmental issues.

**Untreated Musculoskeletal Dysfunction** can result in:
- Asymmetry
- Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)
- Scoliosis
- Sleep difficulties
- Behavioral challenges
- Developmental delays
- Painful breastfeeding
- Digestive issues

Chiropractic care has shown promise in addressing these issues and supporting your baby’s natural development.
