Supporting your child’s nervous system from birth through childhood.

Children are designed to be resilient, adaptable, and full of life. And yet, many parents sense early on that something feels off. Not broken. Not “wrong.” Just… not quite as easy as it should be.

At The Den Chiropractic, we work with families from the very beginning, supporting the nervous system through the many stages of growth, development, and change that occur from birth through childhood.

65% of neurological development (development of the brain and nervous system) occurs in the child’s first year so it’s imperative to ensure that your baby has every opportunity to maximize their nerve function during this critical period in their development.

Birth: a powerful beginning

Birth is tough work for both mama bears and their babies. During pregnancy and delivery, a baby’s body experiences significant forces as they move through the birth canal or are assisted into the world. Even when everything goes “well,” these pressures can place strain on a newborn’s developing spine and nervous system.

One research study observed that a large percentage of newborns showed signs of physical stress following birth, even when no outward complications were noted.* This matters because a child’s nervous system plays a central role in how their body adapts, regulates, and develops from day one.

When early stress patterns go unnoticed, they may influence how comfortably a baby moves, feeds, sleeps, and settles during those first critical months.

Infancy: rapid growth and adaptation

The first year of life is a period of incredible neurological development. A large portion of brain and nervous system growth occurs during this time as babies learn to hold their heads up, roll, crawl, sit, and eventually stand.

As infants grow, their bodies are constantly adapting to:

  • Feeding positions and latch mechanics
  • Time spent on car seats, carriers, and swings
  • Early motor milestones and asymmetries
  • Illness, falls, and minor bumps along the way

These experiences are a normal part of life, but they also place ongoing demands on a developing nervous system. Our role is to assess how your child’s body is responding and adapting to those demands.

Pediatric-Focused Training

Our doctors have completed additional postgraduate education through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), supporting safe, family-centered chiropractic care for infants, children, and pregnant mothers.

In addition to ICPA education, our doctors hold a Certificate of Proficiency in The Pediatric Experience, an advanced, neuroscience-informed pediatric training program focused on the developing nervous system.

Childhood: movement, learning, and increasing demands

As children grow, the stresses on their nervous system change. Learning to walk, run, climb, and play introduces new physical challenges. School brings increased sensory input, focus demands, posture changes, and emotional stress. Sports, screen time, growth spurts, and everyday falls all add layers to how a child’s body must adapt.

Some children navigate these transitions with ease. Others may need extra support as their nervous system learns to organize and respond efficiently to the world around them.

Our approach at The Den

Our pediatric and kids care focuses on how the nervous system is functioning, not on diagnosing or treating specific conditions.

Our process explores how early life stressors – including birth stress, physical strain, sensory overload, emotional stress, and environmental influences – can impact how a child’s nervous system organizes, adapts, and responds as they grow.

Using gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic assessments, we look at:

  • How your child’s body and nervous system are adapting to stress
  • Patterns of tension, imbalance, or compensation in the body
  • How movement, posture, and regulation evolve as your child grows
Care is always tailored, calm, and designed to support the body’s natural ability to adapt and regulate. For parents, this often means feeling seen, heard, and supported — not rushed, dismissed, or told to “wait and see.”
