What Sets Chiropractic Pediatric Care Apart?

Upon entering the reception room at First Step Family Wellness, many new patients comment on the number of children in the office. This is because pediatric care is a specialty of ours! 

What sets pediatric chiropractic care apart from other forms of health care is the foundational premise of chiropractic: that the human body is a self regulating, self healing organism, continuously responding to its internal and external environment. We operate from the perspective that the body is designed to function optimally, and we focus on what factors support this process.

Creating a Care Plan

When the body does express dis-ease, that is a sign that the stressors on the body have exceeded its capacity to maintain homeostasis. Our pediatric chiropractors are trained to determine what stressors are preventing your child’s body from its true vitality. They then create a care plan for the path to restoration of your child’s health, utilizing a variety of modalities tailored to their specific needs. Our doctors are committed to thoroughness, continuing education, and collaboration. We go above and beyond to find a way to help your child express their optimal potential.

What People Are Saying

We started seeing Dr Jana for my 2 year old son in January 2024, after exhausting and being dismissed by traditional medicine. He was a poor sleeper from birth, had some food intolerances, and poor communication due to speech delay post seizure at 10 months. She was able to discover some functional root causes and offer solutions from the first visit, recognizing that he needed support. Within a few visits his sleep improved and after a few months he sleeps solidly through the night. We were also able to drop an iron supplement he was taking for misdiagnosed restless legs. His speech also improves every week, using adjustments in combination with his speech and occupational therapies. His overall mood, health, and communication are vastly different. I’m extremely grateful we turned to this office for help, and I’m always recommending alternative treatment to my friends and family!

I can not say enough good things about the doctors and staff. My kids have been going there for the last 2.5 years and we are working with Dr. Jeanne and Dr Michelle to clear hidden infections. When we started there my oldest had severe anxiety, OCD symptoms and rage. Within months of starting treatment my son was returning back to his old self. His tics, rage and anxiety were much lesser and he was enjoying trying new things (something he wouldn’t do before) Since then I have had each of my children tested and we are working on their health. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are so supportive and loving. I recommend them to everyone that I can

We just had our first appointment for my 7-year-old daughter with Dr. Michelle at 1st Steps Family Wellness, and the experience was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked into the office, we were met with kindness and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for the entire visit. Dr. Michelle’s thoughtful approach to tough questions and the exam was remarkable. My daughter admitted that she fell asleep during a portion of the exam and felt like she could cry. She’s napping right now! I even found myself tearing up, witnessing her react so positively to the adjustment.

Dr. Michelle’s clear explanation of the next steps in my daughter’s healing process and the detailed information about supplements and their purposes were extraordinary. We are excited to continue our journey with 1st Steps Family Wellness and look forward to bringing our entire family in for care. The environment is uniquely comforting for children dealing with health issues, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
