Pediatric Chiropractic in Rochester
Gentle Wellness Care for Your Growing Child
As they grow, children experience tremendous physical, neurological, and developmental changes from birth through adolescence. Proper nervous system function is important during these formative years, and Dr. Laura Zett provides gentle, safe pediatric chiropractic care that supports your child’s development at every stage.
As a mother of two, Dr. Laura Zett combines professional expertise with personal experience in addressing pediatric health concerns. She emphasizes the importance of proactive rather than reactive care, helping to prevent issues before they develop while supporting your child’s natural development processes.

Why Children Need Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care isn’t just for back pain. Proper nervous system function affects every aspect of development and health. Even the birth process itself can create stress on a newborn’s delicate spine and nervous system, potentially affecting functions like sleeping, nursing, and digestion.
As children grow, they also encounter numerous physical stresses—from learning to hold up their head to crawling, walking, and eventually running and playing sports. These normal developmental activities can create misalignments that may affect nervous system function.
Regular chiropractic assessments help ensure that your child’s body can adapt appropriately to these challenges, supporting optimal development and immune function.
Kid-Friendly Techniques Make Appointments Easy for All
Children love visiting our practice, where adjustments become fun activities rather than clinical procedures. Dr. Laura meets each child where they are developmentally and emotionally, adapting her approach to make the experience positive and enjoyable.
Our gentle pediatric adjustments use significantly less pressure than adult treatments—often no more than the pressure you would use to test a ripe tomato. These precise, specific adjustments support proper nervous system function without discomfort, creating positive associations with health care that can last a lifetime.
