Is a Pediatric Chiropractor Right for Your Child?
Children go through more physical stress than most parents realize. Birth, learning to walk, sports, backpacks, and hours in front of screens all put strain on a developing spine. Some kids show clear signs, like neck or back pain, after a sports injury. Others come in for issues that seem unrelated, like colic, recurring ear infections, or poor sleep, which can sometimes be connected to tension in the upper spine.
Dr. Khayami of Better Health Solutions evaluates each child individually and explains his findings before making any recommendations. If chiropractic care is not the right fit, he will tell you.
Our Customers Reviews
Chiropractors for All Ages
Chiropractors believe the origins of many physical problems can be traced to the spine. Between each vertebra is a gel-filled pad called a disc, and spinal nerves that can initiate movement of the legs and arms. If those vertebrae are misaligned, they can pinch and compress the discs or nerves. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to move the vertebrae back into alignment, thus relieving the pain.
At Better Health Solutions, we consider ourselves a family chiropractor because we have experience working with clients of all ages. Pediatric chiropractic techniques utilize our knowledge of the child’s musculoskeletal system to provide appropriate treatment. Pediatric chiropractors receive specialized training to ensure they understand the differences needed when treating children. Children with injuries or congenital conditions can obtain pain relief and regain range of motion after a kids’ adjustment by our chiropractor.
Treatments Designed for Children
We can also help children who have sustained a sports injury. Children with colic, ear infections, or sleep problems have also found improvement from chiropractic treatments. Pediatric chiropractors use a gentle touch to maintain your child’s comfort. Although the child has the same anatomical structure as an adult, they require a more precisely aimed adjustment with a gentle hand.
For infants and younger children, a handheld instrument is sometimes used instead of the hand. These instruments can be adjusted to provide the precise pressure needed for the desired adjustment. We prioritize your child’s safety at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes, when performed by someone with experience in pediatric chiropractic care. The techniques are low-force and specifically adapted for a child’s developing body. The pressure applied is a fraction of what is used in an adult adjustment, and treatment is always guided by your child’s comfort and response.
What conditions can pediatric chiropractic care help with?
Common reasons parents bring their children in include sports injuries, postural problems, scoliosis, colic, ear infections, and sleep difficulties. Chiropractic can also support healthy spinal development as children grow. Dr. Khayami assesses each child and only recommends care when it is the appropriate course of action.
At what age can a child start chiropractic care?
Children can receive chiropractic care at virtually any age, including infancy. For very young children and infants, Dr. Khayami uses a handheld Activator instrument calibrated to deliver safe, gentle pressure suited to their size and developmental stage.
How is a pediatric adjustment different from an adult adjustment?
Children’s bodies are smaller, more flexible, and still developing. Far less force is used, and techniques are selected based on the child’s age, size, and condition. For infants and younger children, handheld instruments replace manual manipulation entirely.
Will my child be comfortable during the visit?
Most children do well. Dr. Khayami explains what he is doing before starting and adapts his technique based on how your child responds. Parents often note how relaxed their kids are throughout the appointment.
How many visits will my child need?
It depends on the condition and how the child responds to care. After an initial assessment, Dr. Khayami provides a care plan with a realistic timeline. He does not recommend more visits than the condition calls for.
Does Better Health Solutions accept insurance for pediatric chiropractic care?
Yes. We accept most major plans, including Aetna, Ambetter, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare, as well as auto accident and workers’ compensation cases. For families without chiropractic coverage, flexible payment options are available. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins, at no charge. Call (480) 945-6900 to confirm your plan.
