Pediatric Chiropractic Care in St. Petersburg, FL

Your child is growing every single day. We are here to make sure they have the support they need.

From the moment of birth, your child's spine and nervous system begin a remarkable process of growth and development. The birth process itself, however it unfolds, can place stress on a newborn's delicate spine. As they grow, the tumbles of toddlerhood, the weight of a backpack, and the hours spent at a desk continue to shape how their body develops.

Our approach is always gentle, always thorough, and always guided by what is best for your child at the stage they are in. From lip and tongue ties, to digestive and sleep issues, to staying aligned through competitive sports—chiropractic care is designed to serve at all ages and stages of life.

What to Expect

Welcome in! We want you and your child(ren) to feel the most comfortable here. We’ll start with a friendly hello and then review your child's birth history, developmental milestones, and any the current concerns or symptoms presenting.
Please have all virtual new patient paperwork completed prior to your arrival!
Dr. Johanna evaluates spinal alignment and neurological function using examination protocols specific to your child's age and stage. We’ll perform our advanced nervous system INSiGHT scan to get a closer look on how your child’s body is adapting.
Techniques are adapted to the child's size and developmental stage. For infants, the pressure applied is no more than the weight of a fingertip.
We provide a recommended schedule based on your child's findings, age, and goals.
We continuously monitor your child's structural and neurological development across visits and update the care plan as they grow and their needs change.
