Why Would a Child Need Chiropractic Care?
Children's bodies are incredibly adaptable, yet they face many physical challenges. From birth stress to playground tumbles, sports injuries, heavy backpacks, and extended screen time, these daily stresses can lead to small spinal misalignments over time.
Common reasons parents bring their children to SISU include:
- Poor posture
- Growing pains or limb discomfort
- Recurrent ear infections
- Colic or digestive issues in infants
- Headaches or migraines
- Sports-related injuries
- Balance or coordination problems
Even without obvious symptoms, regular spinal checkups help ensure optimal nervous system function.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Healthy Growth
At SISU Spine & Rehab, we believe prevention is key. Early chiropractic care can help:
- Support proper spinal alignment during growth spurts
- Improve nervous system communication (which regulates everything from digestion to immunity)
- Enhance balance, coordination, and posture
- Reduce tension and discomfort from everyday stressors like backpacks or sports
- Promote better sleep and relaxation
"We started bringing our son to Dr. Serbinski after a sports injury. Not only did he heal faster, but we noticed he was sleeping better and had fewer headaches. I wish we'd come sooner!"— Emily R., Springboro
What Happens During a Pediatric Chiropractic Visit?
Many parents worry that chiropractic care will be too forceful for their little ones—but pediatric adjustments are very different from adult treatments.

- Family Education & GuidanceWe coach parents on posture, ergonomics (yes, even for kids!), and exercises to support spinal health at home.
Conditions We Commonly Help With
- Torticollis and flat head syndrome in infants
- Colic and reflux
