Pediatric Chiropractic in Kettering: A Parent's Guide to Gentle Care for Kids

Many parents are surprised to learn that babies and children can be adjusted. At FUN Chiropractic in Kettering, it's some of the gentlest — and most rewarding — care we provide. Here's a parent's guide to what pediatric chiropractic actually looks like.

Is it safe for babies?

Yes. Adjustments for infants use extremely gentle pressure — roughly the same force you'd use to check the ripeness of an avocado. There's no forceful cracking or popping for little ones. Most babies stay calm, and many older kids genuinely look forward to their visits.

Why consider care so early?

Pregnancy and the birth process can be physically demanding on a baby, too. Dr. Garrett Funderburg, DC focuses on supporting your child's nervous system so their body can function and develop the way it's designed to.

What do parents usually ask about?

Parents often come in with questions about:

• Latching and feeding comfort
• Digestion, fussiness, and colic
• Sleep
• General development and nervous-system support

A quick note on honesty: pediatric chiropractic supports your child's overall function — it isn't a cure for any specific illness. Dr. Garrett is always happy to coordinate with your pediatrician.

What a first visit looks like

You'll never be rushed. We start with a conversation about your child's history and your goals, do a gentle assessment, and only then provide a light, specific adjustment. You stay with your child the whole time.
