Pediatric Chiropractic in Rocklin
Kids tumble, play, and grow fast—which is hard on small joints and the nervous system. Even when pain fades, the body may adapt to imbalance, and stress can build without obvious symptoms. Pediatric chiropractic makes alignment part of your family’s “hygiene” routine, like dental checkups.
Book a free consultation to meet with Dr. Cleo Riffey, talk through your child’s needs, and learn about gentle care. Same‑day visits are often possible for acute concerns!
What We Do (And How We Keep Kids Comfortable)
We use the research‑backed Activator Method, a handheld instrument that delivers a precise, gentle tap to help realign a joint and calm irritated nerves—no twisting or popping. It’s ideal for babies, toddlers, and teens. If a child is nervous, we never force care; they can watch a parent or sibling first. Our table even lets your child lie face down while you make eye contact at their level, which helps them relax. Many kids look forward to getting back on the table once they feel how easy it is.
Signs and Concerns Chiropractic Can Help
Kids don’t always say “my back hurts,” so watch for alignment and comfort clues. Pediatric chiropractic can help with:
- Posture changes and uneven shoulders or hips
- One leg looking shorter when lying face down
- Recurring stiffness after falls or sports
- Early scoliosis detection and monitoring
- Restless sleep or difficulty settling
- General joint stress from growth spurts
Early Checks Make a Big Difference
Children keep their eyes level with the horizon, even if their body tilts; over time, that can create hidden joint pressure. Early detection helps prevent issues from “setting in,” and is especially important for scoliosis before growth plates seal.
Try this at home: lay your child face down with feet hanging off the bed—if one leg appears shorter, it’s time for an evaluation. Many families notice improvement within the first few visits, often 1-6. At Riffey Chiropractic and Alternative Health, we’ll listen, assess, and tailor a simple plan that fits your child and your schedule.
