Pediatric Chiropractic in Winter Springs & Oviedo
The Importance of Milestones
There are specific milestones that babies need to achieve during their development, and when milestones are missed, certain neurological pathways aren’t formed. When these pathways aren’t formed, issues can be compounded and result in developmental delays and behavioral issues. Oftentimes, stress from the birth process can affect the nervous system in a way that limits or prevents a baby from reaching those milestones.
What to Expect
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Pediatric chiropractic care at Mojica Chiropractic Care is extremely gentle and very precise, and it can help to eliminate the interference in the nervous system, allowing it to communicate the way it should.
Dr. Liz is certified in chiropractic pediatrics, and has advanced training on recognizing developmental delays, identifying which parts of the brain are missing connections, and rehabilitating the nervous system.
The first step is to remove the interference with chiropractic adjustments. Then, there are specific activities the child can do to improve the brain-to-body communication through the nervous system. These activities help develop the neural pathways that weren’t formed, so the brain can catch up to where it needs to be in terms of development.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Child is nervous; how can I help prepare them?
Some sensory children may benefit from having the parent, other than talking to them about their visit, they can touch the child’s back, up and down demonstrating what they may feel when coming into the office.
We, in the office, walk the child through the whole process of being adjusted and we never adjust a child that is nervous without the child’s consent or approval. We make it as interactive as possible to make the child comfortable and to make them feel safe through the whole process.
Is adjusting uncomfortable or painful?
With babies or newborns, the doctor uses her hands and with a sustained hold she applies a pressure similar to the pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. With younger children she may use similar pressure and or use a tool called the Activator which is similar to the pressure and speed from when you flick the finger.
What are some reasons to bring them in for adjustments?
