Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Lubbock, TX
Children are not small adults — and their healthcare should reflect that. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic in Lubbock, TX, Dr. Brett Chavez, D.C. provides gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care for patients of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Our approach to pediatric chiropractic is safe, evidence-informed, and always tailored to the specific needs of a growing body.
Many parents are surprised to learn that children can benefit from chiropractic care. From the physical demands of birth to the falls and tumbles of childhood to the postural stress of carrying heavy backpacks and spending hours at a screen, children's spines face real challenges from day one. Early identification and gentle correction of spinal misalignments can support healthy development and prevent larger problems down the road.
Is Chiropractic Safe for Children?
Yes — when performed by a chiropractor trained in pediatric techniques, chiropractic care is extremely safe for children of all ages, including newborns. The adjustments used for infants and young children are very different from adult adjustments. Dr. Chavez uses gentle, fingertip-pressure techniques that require no more force than you would use to comfortably press on a ripe tomato.
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) has extensively documented the safety and benefits of pediatric chiropractic. Dr. Chavez prioritizes comfort and communication with both the child and the parents throughout every visit.

Common Reasons Parents Bring Their Children to Back 2 Health
Newborns and Infants
- Difficult delivery — the forces involved in labor and delivery, including use of forceps or vacuum extraction, can stress the infant's cervical spine and cranium.
- Torticollis — a stiff or tilted neck in infants that limits head rotation, often caused by positioning in the womb or birth trauma.
- Colic and excessive crying — some research suggests vertebral subluxations may contribute to colic, and chiropractic has been shown to help some colicky infants.
- Feeding difficulties — tension in the cervical spine and jaw can interfere with an infant's ability to latch and nurse comfortably.
- Ear infections — recurring ear infections may have a mechanical component related to upper cervical dysfunction affecting Eustachian tube drainage.

What to Expect During a Pediatric Chiropractic Visit
We understand that children can be anxious about new experiences. Dr. Chavez takes special care to create a welcoming, non-threatening environment for every young patient. The visit begins with a thorough history review with the parent, followed by a gentle physical examination of the child's spine and nervous system.
Adjustments for infants use only light fingertip pressure. For older children, gentle manual or instrument-assisted techniques are used. Dr. Chavez explains every step of the process in age-appropriate language to help children feel safe and empowered.
Most children enjoy their chiropractic visits and look forward to coming back. The appointments are quick, gentle, and effective.

Postural Screening and Scoliosis Awareness
With the rise of screen time and sedentary lifestyles, postural problems in children are more common than ever. Early identification of scoliosis — an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine — is critical for preventing progression. Dr. Chavez performs postural screenings and can take in-office X-rays to evaluate the degree of any spinal curvature. Early, conservative management with chiropractic care may reduce the need for more invasive interventions later in life.
