Gentle, Natural Care to Support Growing Bodies

At Move Chiropractic in Angier, NC, Dr. David Carter provides gentle, effective chiropractic care tailored specifically for children. From newborns to teenagers, kids experience physical stress at every stage of growth. Pediatric chiropractic helps ensure that their spines and nervous systems develop properly — so they can grow, play, and thrive.

 

Why Do Kids Need Chiropractic Care?

 

Childhood is full of bumps, spills, and growth spurts. The birthing process itself can place strain on a newborn’s neck and spine. As kids grow, their posture, physical activity, screen time, and even backpacks can lead to spinal imbalances and tension.

 

Common reasons parents bring their children to Dr. Carter include:

  • Poor posture or uneven gait

  • Torticollis and flat spots in infants

  • Difficulty nursing or turning the head

  • Frequent ear infections

  • Growing pains

  • Sports injuries

  • Scoliosis concerns

  • Headaches or neck pain

 

Gentle Techniques Designed for Kids

 

Dr. Carter uses low-force, age-appropriate adjustments that are safe for children of all ages. Unlike adult chiropractic care, pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle — often using just light fingertip pressure.

 

In addition to spinal adjustments, care may include:

  • Postural assessments

  • Movement and developmental evaluations

  • Gentle soft tissue work

  • Education for parents on ergonomics and wellness at home

Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic

Parents often report a wide range of improvements in their child’s health and well-being after starting chiropractic care. These may include:

  • Better sleep

  • Improved immune function

  • Fewer colds or ear infections

  • Better focus and mood

  • Improved coordination and mobility

 

Most importantly, pediatric chiropractic helps support proper nervous system function — which is essential for a child’s development.

 

A Safe, Supportive Environment for Families

 

Dr. Carter creates a welcoming, kid-friendly atmosphere where both children and parents feel at ease. He takes time to explain what he’s doing and makes sure your child’s care is comfortable and fun.
