Chiropractor Care for Infants & Children
At Café of Life Long Island, we specialize in gentle, effective chiropractic care for children of all ages. The spine plays a crucial role in overall health, and early chiropractic care supports proper development. Dr. Josh, a leader in pediatric chiropractic care, holds advanced certifications and provides expert, safe adjustments—using no more pressure than a gentle touch.
Safe & Certified Care
Chiropractic care for children is backed by research and recognized as safe by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Dr. Josh has extensive post-graduate training and teaches pediatric chiropractic internationally.
Why Chiropractic for Newborns?
Birth can place stress on a baby’s spine, leading to issues like colic, reflux, breastfeeding difficulties, and sleep disturbances. Early chiropractic care helps correct misalignments caused by in-utero positioning, birth interventions, and developmental milestones like crawling and walking.
Chiropractic Care for Growing Children
Children face daily physical and emotional stress—falls, sports injuries, heavy school bags, and even prolonged sitting can impact their spine and nervous system. Chiropractic care supports healthy growth, helping with conditions like:
- Sleep disturbances & behavioral issues
- ADD/ADHD, allergies & asthma
- Colic, ear infections & digestive problems
- Bed-wetting & torticollis
What to Expect
During your child’s first visit, Dr. Josh will take a full health history and perform a gentle spinal assessment. Adjustments use light fingertip pressure to restore movement and optimize nervous system function. Children typically respond quickly, often requiring only a few sessions for noticeable improvement.
