Little Bodies, Big Worries
Pediatric Chiropractic Care for Oakland Families
GIVE THEM A HEAD START ON A LIFETIME OF GOOD HEALTH
Children are naturally flexible and resilient, so it's easy to miss little troubles before they turn into lifelong problems. The good news is that in little bodies, small changes now can make a big difference later. By making small adjustments now, we can help make sure they're as quick and limber at 30 as they are right now. Don't you wish someone had done that for you?
Dr. Matt Green has helped Oakland kids move and feel better for more than two decades, using a gentle approach built specifically for growing bodies.
What About All That Screen Time?
Chiropractic care won't keep a phone out of your kid's hands, but it just might keep their head on straight. Bent over screens for hours every day, children are starting to show posture problems and stiffness we used to only see in adults. Technology isn't going away, but chiropractic care can help your child's body adapt to and manage the physical stress it puts on them, for a lifetime of better health.
Yes. Pediatric adjustments use far less pressure than an adult adjustment, and every visit is tailored to your child's age, size, and comfort. Many parents bring kids in for posture concerns, sports related aches, and general growing pains, and Dr. Green will always tell you honestly whether chiropractic care is a good fit.
We see young patients from Montclair Village, Piedmont, and the surrounding Oakland hills neighborhoods, often referred by their classmates' parents.
Many of our pediatric patients started as babies during their mom's own pregnancy chiropractic care with us, and we're glad to keep caring for the whole family as they grow.
