Chiropractic Care for Children in Alaska
A child’s nervous system is responsible for regulating every other system in the body—from blood circulation and bone growth to brain function and immune health. Because children are constantly growing and developing, it’s essential that their nervous system stays clear of interference.
One of the most overlooked contributors to developmental challenges is spinal misalignment, which can occur from birth trauma, early slips and falls, sports, or even poor posture from screen time. These misalignments can put stress on the nervous system and affect the body’s ability to grow, heal, and function properly.
At Live Well Chiropractic, we offer gentle, pediatric-specific chiropractic care focused on promoting proper spinal alignment, supporting healthy development, and preventing issues before they become long-term problems. Our care is safe, effective, and designed to help your child enjoy a pain-free, active, and thriving childhood.
Whether your child is experiencing specific issues or you're simply looking to support their health naturally, chiropractic care can play a powerful role in raising a healthier generation—starting from the spine.

Pediatric chiropractic in Alaska
It’s easy to overlook the benefits of chiropractic care for children—especially when they aren’t voicing complaints about pain. Kids tend to heal quickly, but that doesn’t mean their bodies are free from stress or misalignment. In reality, every stage of childhood places physical stress on the spine, and maintaining alignment early on plays a key role in healthy development.
Even during birth—whether natural or cesarean—it’s common for the baby’s spine to experience pressure or trauma. If misalignment occurs, a newborn can’t explain their discomfort, and crying is often their only form of communication. These issues can go unnoticed, but they may still affect the nervous system and development.
As children grow, they encounter more stressors: awkward sleeping positions, bumps and falls, learning to walk, poor posture at school, slouched screen time, heavy backpacks, and eventually, physical labor or sports in their teen years. All of these can create or worsen spinal misalignments over time.
At Live Well Chiropractic, we offer gentle, pediatric-focused care to help realign the spine, support nervous system function, and promote pain-free development. Our goal is not just to fix problems—but to prevent them from starting, so your child can grow, move, and thrive with a strong foundation for lifelong health.
If you want to support your child’s growth with natural, proactive care, contact Live Well Chiropractic today to schedule a pediatric spinal evaluation.
How can i tell if my child needs chiropractic care?
It can be difficult to recognize when a child’s spine is out of alignment. Unlike adults, children may not feel pain in the same way, or they may struggle to describe what they’re feeling. Often, discomfort in kids shows up as irritability, restlessness, crying, or behavioral changes—not clear complaints of “back pain.”
Children also may not yet understand their bodies well enough to notice when something feels off. And since spinal misalignments can affect development, digestion, sleep, and immune function, the signs may not always seem related to the spine at all.
Chiropractic care for kids at live well chiropractic
At Live Well Chiropractic, we begin every child’s care with a gentle, detailed consultation and spinal evaluation. Our goal is to locate any misalignments and understand how they may be affecting your child’s health or development. From there, we create a personalized, age-appropriate care plan.
Our treatments for children are extremely gentle—often involving light fingertip adjustments—and many kids feel so relaxed they fall asleep during or after their sessions.
We’re also experienced in working with non-verbal children or those too shy to express pain, using movement observation and posture assessments to identify problems when words fall short.
If you’re concerned about your child’s posture, behavior, or development—or just want to give them the best foundation for long-term health—contact Live Well Chiropractic today to schedule a pediatric consultation.
