Pediatric chiropractic care

"We highly recommend Fika Chiropractic. We took our 6-year-old son who has Autism here for an intensive week of 2 sessions per day. He loved each session and looked forward to them. After the first session, his gut and bowel movement improved (immediately) like right after he was adjusted. It was neat to see how relaxed he was and to see his tests improve in one week..."

If one change happened in 30 days, what would mean the most to you?

Birth & Early Development

Many children's health challenges begin with stress during pregnancy or birth.

  • C-section, vacuum, or forceps deliveries
  • Birth trauma or tension in the neck and head
  • Tongue tie or lip tie affecting breastfeeding and latch
  • Babies preferring to keep their head always to one side (torticollis, flat head, plagiocephaly)
  • Spinal alignment and cranial imbalance in newborns

Gentle adjustments help release tension, support the vagus nerve, and set the stage for healthy growth.

Sleep & Calming Challenges

If your child is struggling with:

  • Night waking, insomnia, or not sleeping through the night
  • Bedwetting (enuresis) or nighttime accidents
  • Restless sleep and difficulty calming down

Pediatric chiropractic care helps regulate the nervous system so kids feel more calm, rested, and balanced.

Behavior, Focus & Sensory Support

When the nervous system is overwhelmed, kids may experience:

  • ADHD, autism, or sensory processing struggles
  • Overstimulation, meltdowns, and tantrums
  • Trouble with attention, focus, and emotional regulation

By restoring calm to the nervous system, children are better able to concentrate, regulate emotions, and connect.

Common Childhood Health Complaints

Parents often seek chiropractic care for issues such as:

  • Digestive discomfort: reflux, colic, gas, bloating, constipation
  • Immune concerns: recurrent infections, congestion, sinus and ear infections, fluid in the ears
  • Headaches, migraines, or growing pains

Our approach supports the immune system and overall resilience, not just symptoms.

Movement, Growth & Development

Gentle adjustments can help children with:

  • Motor development delays or poor coordination
  • Toe walking, abnormal gait, or scoliosis
  • Delayed milestones and posture concerns

Supporting spinal alignment and nervous system communication helps kids move with ease.

The Nervous System Connection

At the core of all these challenges is often nervous system dysregulation. When the system is stressed, children may show signs like anxiety, poor sleep, digestive upset, or developmental delays.

Chiropractic care helps restore balance, release tension, and improve adaptability — from babies to toddlers to older kids.

We are currently travelling and plan to do another week once we return to the Bay Area. Thank you, Dr. Phillips for caring for our son and always being super sweet with him."
