gentle care for growing kids.
Light, fingertip pressure. No cracking. Just a calm check of a fast-developing nervous system.
What parents tell us
The first few years are a big window for nervous system development. Parents often notice changes in:
- Sleep
- Digestion and colic
- Ear infections
- Mood and behavior
- Immune resilience
- Allergies
Is it safe?
Yes. Kids are not small adults, and we don’t adjust them like adults. Pediatric care uses about the pressure you’d use to check if an avocado is ripe.
Dr. Braglia is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association with advanced pediatric training.
“He is great with the kids, from babies to teenagers.”

Questions parents ask
Why do babies get adjusted?
We pride ourselves on safely caring for babies! Birth, in whichever way baby arrives, can create stress and tension in their bodies. This often results in difficulties with latching, gassiness, colic, torticollis, favoring a side while feeding, or indigestion, to name a few.
This doesn’t only affect baby, either. We see the downstream effects, like poor sleep and increased anxiety, on mom and dad as well! While some of these are common symptoms today, they’re not necessarily “normal.” Our goal for care is normal function and development!
And contrary to some belief, the adjustments are incredibly gentle. In fact, most of our kiddos sleep through their whole visit! No cracking, twisting, or popping involved, ever. We’re trained specifically to safely care for your precious new child, using just the pressure you would use to check the ripeness of an avocado.
Is it safe for my newborn?
Yes. Newborn care uses gentle fingertip pressure, nothing like an adult adjustment. Dr. Braglia has advanced pediatric training through the ICPA.
Does it hurt?
No. There’s no cracking or twisting. Most kids find it relaxing, and many babies stay calm or even fall asleep.
How young can my child start?
Right from birth. Many parents bring their baby in during the first weeks.
How many visits will my child need?
Every child is different. After the first exam, we’ll explain what we found and recommend a simple plan.
Can I stay with my child?
Always. You’re with your child for every visit, and you’re welcome to hold your baby during care.
