Kids fall, play sports, carry heavy backpacks and spend hours looking down at screens. All of that puts stress on a growing spine.
Many families in Kent have trusted Dr. Pfeiffer with their children's care for years, and some of today's adult patients first came in as kids.
Reasons families bring their kids in
- Sports bumps, sprains and strains
- Neck and back aches from backpacks or screens
- Posture concerns
- Aches after a fall or a car accident
How we can help
We use very gentle techniques adjusted for a child's size and age. Care focuses on healthy posture, good spinal motion and helping active kids recover safely.
- Gentle, age-appropriate techniques
- Posture checks and screen-time tips
- Sports injury care
- Parents are welcome at every visit
What to expect at your first visit
- Consultation. We talk about your symptoms, history and goals.
- Exam and any necessary x-rays. We find out what is causing the problem.
- A clear plan. Dr. Pfeiffer explains what he found and what care he recommends, and in many cases treatment can start the same day.
New patients can take advantage of our $50 new patient special, which includes the consultation, examination and any necessary x-rays.
