Pediatric Chiropractor in San Antonio

Dr. Foss is a San Antonio Pediatric Chiropractor who specializes in chiropractic care for kids from newborns through teenagers. Kids love to run, jump, and play — but the cumulative impact of childhood activity, poor posture, and digital device use can cause spinal misalignments that affect their health for years to come.

As a pediatric chiropractor, I sometimes get calls from parents asking whether their child is too young to receive chiropractic care. The answer is always the same — it's never too early. The spine develops until around age 25, and most damage done by age 18 is very difficult to correct. Early evaluation and care sets the foundation for lifelong spinal health.

When working with kids, Dr. Foss takes a lighthearted approach that engages the child and makes treatment feel comfortable. Even very young children warm up quickly once they understand how chiropractic puts the body back in proper alignment. Adjustments for children are extremely gentle — using only the pressure of a light fingertip touch for infants and toddlers.

Why children need chiropractic more often than you think: Children as young as 8 years old spend hours hunching over smartphones, slouching at computers, and sitting in poorly positioned furniture. These habits place enormous stress on developing spines and can cause nervous system interference when left unaddressed. Dr. Foss explains spinal health in age-appropriate terms that stick with children well into adulthood.
