Pediatric Chiropractor Redmond, WA

At Eastside Ideal Health, our pediatric chiropractic care is gentle, age-appropriate, and family-centered. We help growing bodies move well by easing areas of tension, improving joint motion, and supporting healthy posture and development—all while keeping safety, comfort, and parent education at the core of every visit.

What Is Pediatric Chiropractic?

Pediatric chiropractic focuses on assessing how a child’s spine and joints move, how muscles balance and support those movements, and how posture changes as kids grow. Techniques are adapted for a child’s size and stage—using light fingertip pressure, gentle mobilization, and soft-tissue work rather than forceful thrusts. The goal is to restore comfortable, efficient movement so kids can play, sleep, and learn with fewer mechanical stresses on their bodies.

Who We Help

• Infants: Families often visit for comfort concerns after birth, head-turn preferences, feeding/latching challenges, fussiness, or trouble settling. Care is extremely light and focused on easing tension patterns and supporting symmetrical movement.
• Toddlers & Preschoolers: Frequent falls, bumps, and rapid growth can create stiffness or favoring one side. We screen movement, hips, and spine to keep exploration pain-free and confident.
• School-Age Kids: Posture changes from backpacks, screen time, and sports can show up as tight necks, headaches, or mid-back soreness. We coach better ergonomics, mobility, and strength habits.
• Teens: Growth spurts, athletics, and long study hours may lead to “tech neck,” shoulder tightness, or low-back irritation. We pair adjustments with corrective exercises and sport-specific guidance.

How Our Care Works

Every child begins with a thorough intake and movement-based exam. We review health history and milestones, screen for red-flag findings that would warrant referral, check joint motion and soft tissue balance, and assess posture and coordination in age-appropriate ways. We explain what we see in plain language, outline options, and obtain parent consent before providing care.

Gentle Techniques We Use

• Light Contact Adjustments: Sustained fingertip pressure to specific joints—often no more than the pressure used to check a ripe tomato.
• Soft-Tissue Release: Relaxing overactive or tight muscles to restore easy motion.
• Mobilization & Stretching: Small, comfortable movements to encourage healthy joint glide and flexibility.
• Age-Appropriate Instruments: Low-force tools when helpful for precise, gentle corrections.

Safety, Communication, and Evidence

Your child’s safety comes first. Pediatric care at our clinic is conservative and comfort-focused. We screen carefully, collaborate with your pediatrician or other providers when appropriate, and tailor care to your goals. Research on some infant conditions (like colic) is mixed; our role is to reduce musculoskeletal tension, support calm movement patterns, and educate parents on positioning and routines that can help a child feel and function better. Chiropractic care is a complement to—not a replacement for—regular pediatric medical care.

Parent Education & Home Support

• Positioning & Carrying: Practical tips for feeding positions, tummy time, and comfortable carrying holds.
• Play-Based Movement: Simple activities that build coordination and core support without feeling like “exercises.”
• Posture & Ergonomics: Backpack fit, desk setup, and screen-time strategies to protect growing spines.
• Sports Readiness: Warm-ups, mobility, and recovery routines for active kids and teens.

What to Expect at the First Visit
