Let’s get this out of the way: no, we don’t crack babies.
We know the viral videos. We’ve seen the skeptical looks. But real pediatric chiropractic care is gentle, precise, and focused entirely on the nervous system.

What It’s Actually Like

At GFC, pediatric adjustments are:

• Tailored to your child’s age and development

• Gentle touch, light instrument use, or sustained pressure

• Often done while your child is lying on you, nursing, or playing

We don’t use force. We don’t use scary tools. And we always explain every step to you before we begin.

What Happens After

Most babies relax immediately. Toddlers giggle, stretch, or nap. Many parents notice changes in sleep, digestion, regulation, and mood within the first few weeks of care.

Why? Because when we help the nervous system feel safe, the body can finally do its job.

Is It Safe? (Short Answer: Yes.)

We’re trained extensively in pediatric care, and we only adjust if it’s safe, necessary, and aligned with your family’s goals. If we don’t think we can help—we’ll tell you that too.

If you’ve been curious but unsure, come see it for yourself. Your child’s nervous system deserves support that honors who they are and who they’re becoming.

Every child is unique—but your gut matters.
Maybe your baby isn’t crawling at 10 months. Maybe your toddler isn’t talking yet. Maybe everyone around you is saying, “Don’t worry, she’ll catch up.”

And maybe your mama instincts are saying otherwise.

At GFC, we’re here to help you tune into those instincts—and give you the tools to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

"He just won’t latch… She’s a ‘lazy eater’… He hates tummy time…"
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. These are some of the first red flags we hear from parents whose babies are dealing with TOTs—Tethered Oral Tissues like tongue, lip, or buccal ties.

TOTs can affect everything from breastfeeding and digestion to speech and airway development. But here’s the kicker: it’s not always just the tie. It’s often about what’s underneath—the nervous system.

Is it really just a tantrum… or is their nervous system crying out for help?
We’ve all had those moments. Your toddler melts down over the color of a spoon. Your six-year-old flips out before school. Your baby just won’t stop crying.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: behavior is communication. And in many cases, those big emotions are a sign of a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Thinking about chiropractic care, but unsure where to start?

At Golden Family Chiropractic, we get it—trying something new for your family’s health can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve made your first visit completely free (for a limited time!). No pressure. No gimmicks. Just answers, connection, and clarity.

When You’ve Tried Everything and Still Feel Stuck: A New Path to Hope

As a parent, you’ve likely noticed your child’s repetitive movements—hand flapping, rocking, humming, or other rhythmic behaviors. If your child is on the autism spectrum, you may have even been told that these movements should be discouraged or that they’ll simply “grow out of it.”

But what if stimming is actually your child’s way of communicating?

Feeling under the weather? Whether it’s you or your little one, illness has a way of slowing life down when we least expect it. But here’s the good news—your body is incredibly wise. It knows how to heal; it just needs the right support.

If you’re here, it’s likely because your child’s emotions feel like an unpredictable storm—intense mood swings, explosive outbursts, or heartbreaking meltdowns that leave you feeling exhausted and unsure of what to do next.
f this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone. And more importantly, this isn’t your fault.

We’ve long been told that our DNA is like a rigid blueprint, setting a fixed path for our health. But here’s the truth: your child’s DNA is not their destiny.

Think of their genes as a playbook, with endless potential strategies and outcomes. Epigenetics determines which plays get called—influenced by everything from the foods they eat to the environment they grow up in. This means that you, as a parent, hold incredible influence over their health journey. 💛

Sensory Overload: A Window Into Your Child’s Nervous System

If you’ve been lying awake at night, heart heavy with worry about your child’s health, wondering why conventional answers aren’t working, you’re not alone. Deep down, you know when something isn’t right, even when others try to reassure you. That intuition is powerful—and it deserves to be heard.

As a parent, you’ve likely felt that sinking feeling—sitting in a doctor’s office, watching the clock, holding your uncomfortable or distressed child, only to be met with a hurried appointment and a prescription instead of real answers.

You are not alone in this experience. So many parents find themselves navigating between conventional medicine’s quick fixes and the vast, sometimes overwhelming world of holistic health. The question remains: who will truly take the time to understand your child and help them thrive?

What if the missing piece in your child’s health journey isn’t another diet, supplement, or detox protocol? What if it’s something that’s often overlooked, but absolutely crucial? It might just be your child’s nervous system.

Did you know that 1 in 6 children experience developmental delays? In today’s world, those numbers are growing. But here’s the good news: there’s so much you can do to help your child.

POTS affects approximately 1 in 100 teenagers, with girls being 2-3 times more likely to develop the condition. While you may have been told that genetics are to blame or perhaps received no clear explanation at all, there's more to the story that every parent needs to understand.

Parenting takes a lot out of you, but being perpetually drained isn’t a badge of honor, nor is it inevitable. It’s not selfish to prioritize your energy—it’s necessary. And the good news? You don’t need to overhaul your entire life to start feeling better.

Let’s talk about simple, sustainable shifts you can make today that will truly feel life changing! 

As parents, we’re always trying to do what’s best for our children. But with so many health options out there—natural remedies, traditional medicine, supplements—it can feel overwhelming. Are we doing enough? Are we choosing the right path?

Parenting can be so rewarding, but some seasons are undeniably challenging. If your days feel consumed by emotional outbursts, defiance, and battles over the smallest things, you’re not alone. Many parents feel the sting of canceling plans or avoiding outings just to avoid public meltdowns. It’s tough, and our hearts go out to you! - But there’s hope.

Understanding the "why" behind your child’s behavior is the first step toward a calmer, happier home. Let’s explore the deeper roots of these challenges and talk about a natural, nurturing approach that may bring some much-needed peace to your family.

As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child struggle with something as basic as going to the bathroom. Constipation can feel like an uphill battle, with endless remedies and little relief. You’re not alone—constipation affects one in four children, and the numbers are even higher for kids with specific challenges like autism (70%), anxiety (40%), and ADHD (30%).
