Pediatric Chiropractic

At Full Bloom Chiropractic,  we provide gentle pediatric chiropractic care in Saint Augustine, FL, designed to support your child’s growth, comfort, and natural development. Our goal is to help kids thrive through safe, effective, and age-appropriate chiropractic adjustments.

Why Do Infants and Children Need Chiropractic Care?

Even a natural birth can place stress on a baby’s neck and spine. These early strains can cause subtle misalignments (subluxations) that may contribute to:

• Difficulty nursing or latching

• Colic, reflux, or digestive discomfort

• Trouble sleeping or staying calm

A gentle infant chiropractic adjustment helps restore healthy nerve communication, promoting comfort and proper body function from the start.

Chiropractic Care for Growing Kids

As children learn to crawl, walk, and play, their developing bodies experience bumps, falls, and minor injuries. Regular chiropractic care helps maintain proper spinal alignment, supporting:

• Healthy posture and balance

• Better coordination

• Improved flexibility and comfort

Chiropractic Care for School-Aged Kids and Teens

Sports, heavy backpacks, and long hours sitting in class can lead to spinal tension, neck pain, or poor posture. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help:

• Improve alignment and posture

• Relieve muscle tension

• Enhance athletic performance

• Boost focus and energy

Benefits of Regular Pediatric Chiropractic Care

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic method focused on analyzing and adjusting the pelvis to reduce sacral subluxation (joint dysfunction) and improve pelvic balance.

When the pelvis is properly aligned, it:

• Reduces pregnancy-related back and hip pain

• Provides optimal space for baby growth and movement

• Supports proper nerve function for mom and baby

Expectant mothers throughout Saint Augustine and the World Golf Village area seek Webster-certified chiropractors to enjoy a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy and support an easier delivery.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

As your body changes during pregnancy, your posture, hips, and spine shift to accommodate your growing baby. These changes can lead to lower back pain, sciatica, pelvic discomfort, and hip tightness.

Regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can help keep your body aligned, allowing for greater comfort and balance.

Benefits include:

• Relief from back pain, hip pain, and pelvic discomfort

• Improved posture and mobility

• Enhanced pelvic alignment for birth

• Greater overall comfort throughout pregnancy

• A smoother, potentially shorter labor and delivery

Through our everyday lives our bodies will be affected by thoughts, traumas and toxins. Our thoughts can be positive or negative. Those negative thoughts cause stress in our bodies, which can lead to tightness and subluxations (misalignments) in our spines. Traumas can be small or large injuries that we may incur from time to time. They can be major like a car accident, or more minor like stepping off a curb wrong. Those impacts on the body will cause subluxations as well. Toxins can come from medications, to the foods you eat, to the beauty products you put on your skin. They can all impact the body’s ability to function optimally. Regular Chiropractic care can help remove those subluxations and allow your body to thrive with a healthy nerve system.

 

Dr. Ryan Gutierrez adjusts utilizing the Activator Technique. This technique uses a small, hand-held instrument to help perform the adjustment. The protocol he follows tells him when to adjust, where to adjust, and when not to adjust. This allows him to give a very precise and specific adjustment to only the areas that are subluxated. It also gives him the advantage of adjusting extremities (shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, etc.) more easily for the patient. Another benefit of the Activator Technique as that is does not have they typical twisting, pushing, and “popping” you might experience with other methods. It also allows the patient to relax a little more while receiving his/her treatment, often resulting in the adjustment holding better.
