Pediatric Chiropractic in Stratham
You want your child to grow, move, and sleep well—and to get care that’s gentle, sensible, and safe. At Rzepa Family Chiropractic and Massage, pediatric care centers on simple spinal checkups to make sure there’s no misalignment. Many babies don’t need an adjustment at all; when they do, it’s done with the lightest touch. With over 28 years of experience, Dr. Bart Rzepa focuses on comfort, clarity, and parent-friendly communication. Ask about our complimentary quick consult, free insurance benefits check, and gentle acclimation visits for hesitant kids.
Modeled after well-child visits, our approach is milestone-based rather than adjustment-based. Dr. Rzepa recommends a newborn spinal check within the first week (sometimes even at the hospital), then brief checkups as your child lifts their head, sits, crawls, and begins to walk. These visits help confirm healthy spinal and neurological function and spot issues early, especially after tumbles.
How Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help
Parents often notice small clues that a spinal check is a good idea. We commonly support children who are experiencing:
- Favoring one side while nursing or discomfort turning the head on one side
- Frequent spit-up or irritability that improves when neck or upper back tension eases
- Cross-crawl or coordination concerns during crawling, or bumps and falls while learning to walk
- Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), where gentle sacral adjustments with an Activator instrument and low-level laser can be helpful
- Sensory overwhelm or trouble settling, with many parents reporting calmer, more restful periods after visits
Gentle, Child-Led Care—Never Forced
Safety and trust come first. We use light-touch methods such as craniosacral work, a calming technique that eases tension around the head, neck, and sacrum. When needed, the Activator instrument provides a precise, spring-loaded impulse that most children barely feel, and low-level (cold) laser helps soothe irritation and support healing. We never force care; we’ll model on a parent, “adjust” a stuffed toy, or schedule a few brief, no-pressure visits so your child can warm up comfortably.
