Pediatric Care
Gentle Care for Growing Bodies
Your child’s spine protects the delicate nervous system that controls every aspect of their development. At Berner Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we provide specialized care designed specifically for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, helping them grow with optimal neurological and biomechanical function.
Why Children Need Upper Cervical Care
Even the most routine birth can place significant stress on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. These early misalignments, if left uncorrected, can potentially affect development and health in various ways. Our gentle approach addresses these issues before they become longstanding problems.
Our Child-Friendly Approach
We understand that children have unique needs and may be apprehensive about healthcare visits. That’s why we’ve created an environment where children feel safe and comfortable:
Welcoming Environment
Our office features a dedicated play area where children can relax before their appointment, helping them associate their visit with positive experiences.
Demonstrative Techniques
Before performing any adjustment, we take time to demonstrate the process, allowing children to understand what to expect and building trust.
Extremely Gentle Corrections
Our pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle—often no more pressure than you would use to test a ripe tomato. Most children experience minimal, if any, discomfort during their care.
Conditions We Can Help Address
Our specialized upper cervical care can benefit children experiencing various conditions:
Birth Trauma Effects
Even routine deliveries can create misalignments. Gentle corrections can address potential issues resulting from birth stress on the spine and nervous system.

A properly functioning nervous system supports optimal immune response.
Concentration and Focus By addressing nervous system interference, many children experience improved ability to focus and concentrate.
The Berner Difference
What truly sets our pediatric care apart is our extremely gentle approach. Using precise, specialized techniques suitable for even the tiniest patients, we focus on creating optimal neurological and biomechanical positioning without any forceful movements or uncomfortable manipulations.
We believe that giving children the gift of proper nervous system function early in life helps set the foundation for optimal health throughout childhood and beyond.
