At Worcester Family Chiropractic, your child is always in good hands.
When looking for care for an infant or young child, selecting a chiropractor who has received specialized training in gentle and effective techniques for little bodies is crucial. Our pediatric doctors are proud International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association (ICPA) members. Dr. Brittany is also board-certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP), and Dr. Mikayla is in the process of completing this rigorous certification.

What to Expect:
Gentle Adjustments
You won’t hear any cracking or popping in a pediatric adjustment! Instead, we use gentle techniques like light tapping or sustained contact with a bit of pressure—just enough to dimple a ripe tomato. Infants can rest on you or pillows while older children can relax on our special kids' adjusting tables featuring fun characters.
Clear Communication
We always explain what we do and why so that you learn how to complement treatment at home best. Your questions are always welcome as we partner to support your family’s wellness.
A Warm, Fun Environment
We don’t want to brag, but one of our pediatric patients literally thinks our office is a playground. From toys in every room and warm to engaging doctors and staff who adore kiddos, this will be an appointment that your little one looks forward to.
Transformational Results
Based on a child’s treatment goals, we regularly see results like improved sleep, fewer ear infections, a strengthened immune system, easier feeding, and better posture and spinal development.
"We were referred to Dr. Brittany through our lactation consultant and doula. When our son was born he had a very tight jaw, making nursing excruciatingly painful and leaving me tied to the pump. After about 6 visits, with Dr. Brittany's expertise, our son's jaw became looser which allowed him to latch easier. Her services and caring demeanor helped me gain confidence as a new mom with nursing my son. Now we have the freedom to go about our day out and about and not have to lug the pump around. We highly recommend her!!"
