Who This Is For ?
Pediatric chiropractic Miami, gentle care for every stage of your child's development.
Pediatric chiropractic care at Mind and Body Wellness Studio is effective for infants, children, and teenagers dealing with colic, ear infections, growing pains, sports injuries, scoliosis, poor posture from heavy backpacks and screen time, and developmental delays. Dr. Pereyra uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques with no forceful adjustments, completely safe and comfortable for children of all ages.
Colic & Digestive Issues:
Birth trauma and spinal misalignments in newborns can cause colic, reflux, and digestive discomfort. Gentle adjustments restore nervous system function and provide rapid relief.
Ear Infections:
Recurrent ear infections are often linked to misalignments in the upper cervical spine that restrict fluid drainage. Chiropractic care reduces frequency naturally without antibiotics.
Growing Pains:
Spinal misalignments during growth spurts cause muscle tension and joint pain. Gentle corrective care keeps growing spines properly aligned.
Sports Injuries:
Young athletes put tremendous stress on developing spines and joints. Sports chiropractic keeps kids performing safely and recovering faster.
Poor Posture:
Heavy backpacks, screen time, and desk sitting create chronic postural problems in children. Early correction prevents long-term spinal damage.
Scoliosis:
Early detection and chiropractic care can slow or halt scoliosis progression in children and teenagers. Regular monitoring and gentle adjustments are key.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes, pediatric chiropractic is extremely safe when performed by a trained chiropractor. The techniques used for children are completely different from adult adjustments, much gentler and specifically adapted for developing spines and nervous systems.
How young can a child receive chiropractic care?
Children can receive chiropractic care from birth. Many parents bring newborns in within days of delivery to address birth trauma and ensure proper spinal alignment from the very beginning.
Will the adjustment hurt my child?
No. Pediatric adjustments use extremely light pressure, for infants it is no more than the pressure used to test the ripeness of a tomato. Most children actually enjoy their adjustments and look forward to their visits.
How many visits will my child need?
It depends on the condition and your child’s age. Many acute conditions resolve in 4 to 6 visits. Chronic conditions like scoliosis or recurring ear infections require an ongoing maintenance plan that Dr. Pereyra will design specifically for your child.
Can chiropractic help my child avoid medication?
Many parents find that chiropractic care reduces or eliminates the need for medication for conditions like ear infections, colic, and headaches by addressing the root neurological cause rather than masking symptoms.
Do you take insurance for pediatric care?
We are a cash-pay practice, no insurance required. Our transparent pricing means no surprise bills and no limitations on the care your child receives.
