Common Concerns We Support
Parents often know when something feels different—even when they may not yet have the words to describe it.
Maybe your baby always turns their head to one side. Feeding feels harder than expected. Your child skipped a milestone, moves differently than other children, struggles to settle, or seems easily overwhelmed by the world around them.
At Mojica Chiropractic Care, we take the time to listen, observe, and understand the patterns you are noticing.
Our focus is not on treating a diagnosis. Instead, Dr. Liz evaluates movement, spinal function, nervous system regulation, developmental patterns, and brain-body communication to better understand where your child may need additional support.
Explore Common ConcernsChiropractic care does not diagnose or treat the medical or developmental conditions discussed on these pages. These resources are designed to help families better understand common presentations we see in our office and how chiropractic care may support movement, comfort, nervous system function, regulation, and overall development as part of a child’s broader healthcare team.
Babies & Infants
Those first months bring incredible change—and plenty of questions. Explore some of the feeding, movement, comfort, sleep, and positioning concerns parents commonly notice during infancy.
Latching Difficulties
Challenges with nursing, bottle-feeding, or comfortable positioning.
Torticollis & Head Preference
Consistent preference to look or turn toward one side.
Plagiocephaly & Head Shape Concerns
Concerns about head shape often related to positioning or tension.
Colic, Fussiness & Difficulty Settling
Periods of intense crying and difficulty finding comfort.
Reflux & Digestive Concerns
Frequent spitting up, discomfort after eating, or digestive tension.
Sleep Challenges
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or settling comfortably.
Birth Stress & Difficult Deliveries
Physical tension following a long, fast, or intervened birth.
Development & Regulation
As children grow, development involves much more than physical growth. Movement, communication, sensory processing, coordination, attention, and emotional regulation all develop through the connection between the brain and body.
Developmental Milestones & Concerns
Concerns regarding rolling, sitting, walking, or delayed patterns.
Crawling & Movement Concerns
Skipped crawling, asymmetrical movement, or coordination challenges.
Sensory & Regulation Challenges
Easily overwhelmed, sensory seeking, or difficulty regulating emotions.
Attention, Behavior & Neurodevelopment
Challenges with focus, behavior, and brain-body connection.

Prenatal & Postpartum
Your Body Is Changing Too
Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to the body.
As baby grows, your center of gravity, posture, pelvic mechanics, joint loading, movement patterns, and physical demands continue to change.
And after baby arrives, your body begins another season of adaptation while you recover from birth and adjust to feeding, carrying, lifting, rocking, and caring for your newborn.
These resources are designed to help you better understand the changes you may be feeling and how gentle prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care may fit into supporting your movement, comfort, and function along the way.
Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy
As your belly grows, your center of gravity, posture, abdominal support, and the demands on your lower back change. Learn why lower-back discomfort is so common during pregnancy and how we look at mobility, movement, and adaptation.
Hip & SI Joint Pain During Pregnancy
Feeling discomfort through your hips, buttocks, or SI joints when walking, standing, sleeping, or changing positions? Explore how pregnancy changes pelvic mechanics and how your body adapts as baby grows.
Pelvic Girdle Pain & SPD
Pain through the pubic bone, pelvis, groin, lower back, or SI region can make simple movements feel surprisingly difficult. Learn about pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, SPD, and the movement patterns we look at.
More Pregnancy & Postpartum Resources Are Coming
Pregnancy changes quickly—and so does your body.
We are continuing to build educational resources around the concerns we hear from mothers every day, including sciatica, round ligament and groin discomfort, rib and mid-back tension, tailbone pain, postpartum pelvic changes, feeding posture, and recovery after birth.
Our goal is to help women better understand what their bodies are experiencing so they can feel more confident making decisions throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Your Body Is Doing Something Extraordinary
Pregnancy and motherhood ask your body to adapt again and again.
You do not have to wait until movement feels overwhelming before paying attention to how your body is changing. Whether you are preparing for baby, navigating a new discomfort, or rebuilding after birth, we are here to help you better understand your body and support it through every stage.
Adult Pain & Mobility
When Pain Starts Changing How You Move
Pain often gets our attention because something that once felt automatic suddenly becomes harder.
Sitting. Standing. Turning your head. Walking. Bending. Sleeping. Exercising. Getting through a workday.
At Mojica Chiropractic Care, we look beyond the location of the discomfort to better understand how your joints, movement patterns, posture, physical demands, and nervous system are working together.
The goal is not simply to chase symptoms. It is to understand what may be limiting comfortable movement and help support the mobility and adaptability you need for everyday life.
Lower Back Pain
Lower-back discomfort can affect sitting, standing, bending, lifting, sleeping, exercise, and everyday movement. Learn how spinal mobility, pelvic mechanics, physical demands, and movement patterns may contribute to the way your back feels and functions.
Sciatica & Radiating Leg Pain
Pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg may feel very different from ordinary lower-back discomfort. Learn what sciatica means, why nerve-related symptoms deserve a closer look, and how movement and spinal function may fit into the bigger picture.
Neck Pain & Stiffness
Difficulty turning your head, stiffness after desk work, discomfort while driving, or tension after sleep may involve more than one area. Explore how the neck, upper back, shoulders, mobility, and everyday movement work together.
Knee Pain & Movement Concerns
The knee does not move in isolation. Hip mobility, foot and ankle mechanics, balance, walking, strength, and movement strategy can all influence how the knee manages everyday load.
Pain Is the Signal. Movement Gives Us More Information.
Where something hurts matters.
But so does what movement causes it, when it happens, whether symptoms stay local or travel, whether mobility has changed, whether one side moves differently, what activities repeatedly aggravate it, how the surrounding joints are functioning, and what physical demands are placed on your body each day.
Understanding those patterns helps us look beyond the painful area and evaluate how the body is functioning as a whole.
More Adult Movement & Mobility Resources Are Coming
We are continuing to build educational resources around common concerns involving the shoulders, hips, upper and mid-back, headaches and neck tension, joint stiffness, and maintaining mobility as we age.
These resources will be added individually over time.
Keep Doing the Things That Matter to You
Pain can change how you move—but the painful area is only part of the story.
By looking at mobility, movement patterns, physical demands, and how different regions of the body work together, we can better understand what may be limiting your function. Whether your goal is working comfortably, exercising, keeping up with your family, or simply moving through daily life with more confidence, we are here to help you understand your body and support your movement.
Not Sure Where Your Child Fits?
You do not need to have all the answers before reaching out.
If something about your child’s movement, development, comfort, or regulation has you wondering whether additional support may be helpful, we are here to listen. Dr. Liz and the Mojica Chiropractic Care team can help you determine the most appropriate next step for your family.
