Pediatric Chiropractic in Siler City

Giving Your Child the Best Start in Life

Dr. Garcia adjusting babyThe miracle of birth, while beautiful, can be physically demanding on your newborn’s delicate spine and nervous system. The twisting, pulling, and pressure that occur during both vaginal and cesarean deliveries can create spinal misalignments from your baby’s very first day of life. At Siler City Chiropractic, Dr. Garcia specializes in identifying and gently correcting these early subluxations before they develop into the chronic health issues that many adults face later in life.

Our pediatric chiropractic approach recognizes that many of the health challenges adults experience in their 20s, 30s, and beyond actually originated in childhood but simply weren’t causing obvious symptoms at the time. By addressing spinal dysfunction early, we help set your child on a path toward optimal health and development that can last a lifetime.

Childhood Conditions We Address

Parents are often surprised to learn that many common childhood health issues are actually connected to nervous system dysfunction caused by spinal misalignments. While adults typically experience subluxations as back pain, neck pain, or headaches, children’s bodies express these same problems differently. We regularly help families find relief from persistent ear infections, colic, constipation, bedwetting, sleep difficulties, and behavioral challenges like ADHD.

Dr. Garcia has extensive experience treating digestive issues, difficulty focusing, and recurring illness in children of all ages. Our gentle approach has helped countless families overcome feeding difficulties in infants, chronic respiratory problems like asthma, and the cycle of repeated ear infections that can affect hearing and development. Many parents discover that addressing spinal health resolves issues they never realized were connected.

Gentle Techniques Designed for Children

Our pediatric adjustments bear no resemblance to adult chiropractic treatment—Dr. Garcia uses incredibly gentle techniques specifically designed for growing bodies. For newborns, adjustments involve only fingertip pressure, comparable to the light touch you’d use when testing the ripeness of an avocado. This ultra-gentle approach is completely safe and comfortable, often leaving babies more relaxed and content than when they arrived.

As children grow, Dr. Garcia adapts his techniques accordingly, primarily using the Activator Method® and specialized pediatric approaches that eliminate any twisting, popping, or forceful movements. The Diversified technique and Thompson Drop method are also employed when appropriate, always with modifications that ensure complete safety and comfort for young patients.

Creating a Positive Experience

Dr. Garcia has a special gift for connecting with children and creating an environment that feels more like playtime than a medical appointment. Our office atmosphere is designed to be welcoming and fun, helping nervous children quickly realize that this experience is nothing like visiting a traditional doctor’s office—no scary shots, no painful procedures, just gentle care that helps them feel better.

Many children become so comfortable with their adjustments that they eagerly jump onto the treatment table, excited to receive their “special adjustment” that helps them feel their best. Parents often comment on how much their children look forward to their appointments and how the experience builds confidence rather than creating anxiety about healthcare.

Real Results for Real Families

Dr. Garcia finds tremendous joy and fulfillment in helping children achieve better health naturally. One remarkable success story involved a baby whose parents had tried medications, injections, and even surgical tubes for persistent ear infections, colic, and reflux. Traditional medical approaches had failed to provide lasting relief, and the entire family was exhausted from sleepless nights and constant worry.

After beginning gentle chiropractic care, the transformation was dramatic—the baby began sleeping peacefully through the night, eating well without reflux issues, and maintaining regular, comfortable bowel movements. The improvement was so significant that both sets of grandparents became regular patients themselves, amazed by the natural healing they witnessed. This family’s story represents the life-changing potential of pediatric chiropractic care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during my child’s first appointment?

Dr. Garcia begins with a detailed discussion of your child’s health history, including any birth trauma, falls, or developmental concerns. The examination is gentle and age-appropriate, with X-rays used only when absolutely necessary for older children with specific conditions.

How gentle are adjustments for babies and young children?

Adjustments for infants require only the lightest fingertip pressure—no more force than you’d use to check if fruit is ripe. As children grow, techniques are modified to remain completely comfortable while providing effective correction.

How do you help children who feel nervous about treatment?

Our team excels at creating a fun, welcoming environment that helps children see this as a positive experience rather than a scary medical procedure. Dr. Garcia’s warm personality and gentle approach quickly put even the most anxious children at ease.
