Pediatric Chiropractic in Sioux Falls

Give Your Child the Best Possible Start

From the moment they enter the world, your baby’s little body is working overtime. Growing, developing, learning to move—it’s exhausting just thinking about it! But sometimes, things don’t go quite as smoothly as you’d hoped. Maybe your baby struggles with ear infections that won’t quit, or they’re fussy and you can’t figure out why. Perhaps they haven’t had a bowel movement in days, or they’re not hitting developmental milestones when you expected.
You want answers. You want relief for your baby. And you definitely want to avoid unnecessary medications or interventions if possible. At Envive, we’ve been helping babies and kids thrive for over 20 years in Sioux Falls. Our gentle, effective approach gives your little one’s body the support it needs to develop properly and feel comfortable.

Why Babies Need Chiropractic Care

Let’s talk about birth for a second. Whether your baby arrived via vaginal delivery or C-section, the journey from your cozy womb to the bright, loud outside world is intense. Think of it like moving from the most comfortable one-bedroom apartment ever into a completely foreign environment—it’s a lot! That transition, combined with how fast babies grow (we’re talking pounds and inches every week), puts significant stress on their developing nervous system.

Here’s the beautiful thing: chiropractic care can help with almost anything a baby struggles with. Ear infections, torticollis (that head tilt), fussiness, constipation, trouble sleeping, feeding difficulties—we’ve seen it all, and we’ve helped countless families find relief. When your baby’s spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, their whole body works better. It’s that simple.

Gentle as Checking a Tomato’s Ripeness

We know what you’re thinking: “Won’t adjusting my tiny baby be too rough?” Absolutely not, and here’s why. We use the same techniques and approach we use with adults, just with dramatically different pressure. Imagine checking a tomato’s ripeness at the grocery store—that gentle squeeze that tells you if it’s ready. That’s the amount of pressure we use on babies. If you squeezed that tomato as hard as you could, you’d ruin it. We would never do that to your precious little one.

Many babies actually fall asleep during their adjustments! We often have babies and toddlers lay right on mom’s chest during treatment, which keeps them calm and comfortable. Plus, our doctors—Dr. Cole Snyder in Sioux Falls and Dr. Myles Dixon and Dr. Eden Mrozek in Brandon—know exactly how to make the experience fun. Stickers, suckers, goofy jokes, and a genuinely playful environment help even nervous kids relax. Most families tell us their little ones actually look forward to coming in.

Real Stories from Real Families

One of our favorite success stories? A baby who hadn’t had a bowel movement in seven days. The parents were understandably worried and exhausted. After one adjustment, they texted us about the massive “blowout in the car on the way home.” (Yes, we get those texts regularly, and we celebrate them!) That baby’s system just needed a gentle reset.

We’ve also helped babies who were struggling in occupational therapy suddenly make huge progress after just a couple of adjustments. One OT therapist actually asked the mom, “What happened? She’s doing so much better!” When mom explained they’d started chiropractic care, the therapist was amazed. We’ve seen babies start crawling when they couldn’t before, neck tilts resolve, ear infections clear up without tubes or antibiotics, and fussy babies become content, happy little ones.

Developmental Milestones and Beyond

Not hitting milestones quite on schedule? Struggling with tummy time? Having trouble with neurological development? We can help. Chiropractic care supports your baby’s natural development by ensuring their nervous system—the master control system—is functioning properly. When nerve communication flows freely, bodies develop the way they’re meant to.

And here’s our philosophy in one simple sentence: every baby should be adjusted. We truly believe that. Regular chiropractic care gives children the foundation for a lifetime of wellness. We accept most major insurance plans, offer same-day appointments, and have Saturday availability at both our Sioux Falls and Brandon locations. Walk-ins are always welcome because we know baby emergencies don’t follow a schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age can babies start chiropractic care?

We can safely adjust babies within days of birth! The sooner your baby gets checked, the better. Early intervention can prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems as they grow.

What conditions can pediatric chiropractic help with?

We’ve helped with ear infections, constipation, colic, fussiness, torticollis (head tilt), feeding difficulties, sleep problems, and developmental delays. Basically, if your baby is struggling with something, it’s worth getting them checked.

Will adjustments hurt my baby?

Not at all! We use incredibly gentle pressure—about the same amount you’d use checking a tomato’s ripeness. Most babies relax or even fall asleep during their adjustments. It’s gentle, safe, and effective.

How often do babies need adjustments?

It depends on what we’re addressing. Some babies need weekly adjustments initially, then transition to monthly wellness visits. Others might only need a few adjustments total. We’ll create a care plan specific to your baby’s needs.

Is pediatric chiropractic safe?

Absolutely. Our doctors have extensive training and decades of combined experience working with infants and children. We modify our techniques specifically for tiny bodies, and the research supports chiropractic care as safe and effective for kids.
