Kids Can Benefit from Chiropractic in Lincoln

As children grow, their bodies undergo constant changes—and with those changes can come stress on the spine and nervous system. Even minor misalignments in the spine can affect a child’s development, behavior, sleep, and overall well-being. At Heiss Chiropractic in Lincoln, we provide safe, gentle chiropractic care that supports your child’s healthy growth and development—naturally.

It’s easy to think of kids as resilient—and they are. But that doesn’t mean their bodies are immune to stress or misalignment. Unlike adults, children rarely complain of chronic pain. When they do express discomfort, it’s often dismissed as “just growing pains.” But what if those growing pains are signs of something deeper?

Chiropractic care is non-invasive, drug-free, and designed to help children’s bodies function optimally as they grow. It supports healthy spinal alignment, which is essential for proper nervous system function.

Spinal misalignments can start as early as birth. Whether natural or Cesarean, the birthing process is physically demanding for newborns. From there, babies learn to crawl, walk, fall, twist, play, and explore—sometimes in awkward positions, sometimes with bumps and tumbles along the way.

As kids grow older, other common factors include:

• Poor posture from screens or backpacks

• Sports and physical activity

• Sleep positions

• Sitting for long hours at school

• Emotional and physical stress

While many children bounce back quickly, repeated strain or imbalance can impact their spinal health and nervous system function.

Children aren’t always able to articulate what they’re feeling—especially if they don’t know what “normal” should feel like. That’s why it’s important to watch for other signs, such as:

• Changes in posture or coordination

• Frequent colds or illnesses

• Trouble sleeping or relaxing

• Digestive issues or bedwetting

• Behavior changes, irritability, or mood swings

• Complaints of headaches, neck pain, or back pain

Often, the signs of spinal stress show up as changes in behavior or routine—not always physical pain.

We take a personalized approach to pediatric care. At your child’s first visit, Dr. Heiss will conduct a gentle and thorough evaluation, reviewing their history and any concerns you have. If a misalignment is found, we use light, precise adjustments tailored to your child’s age and needs.

Many children feel relief instantly, with some even relaxing or falling asleep during their adjustment.

Your child deserves to grow up feeling strong, healthy, and balanced. If you have any concerns about your child’s spinal health, development, or behavior, Heiss Chiropractic in Lincoln, NE is here to help.
