Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Beverly Hills
Children grow and develop quickly, and their spine and nervous system play a key role in how they move, sleep, and respond to their environment. At Elite Chiropractic Beverly Hills, we provide gentle and safe pediatric chiropractic care for infants, toddlers, and children.
Dr. Jamie Mahtaban, DC, and Dr. Yuliya Gruppina, DC, use age-appropriate techniques designed to promote comfort, development, and overall well-being. Therapy is used to improve mobility and function in day-to-day life activities.
Care is tailored to your child’s age, comfort level, and stage of growth. Treatments will be performed in a safe environment, taking into account your child’s unique requirements.
If you have concerns about your child’s posture, movement, or comfort, call (310) 692-4469 to schedule an evaluation.
Common Concerns in Babies and Children
A common concern is torticollis and abnormal movement patterns or behavior in a child. Sometimes they are not using their arm or leg a certain way. If they have seen their pediatrician and any pathologies have been ruled out, chiropractic care may be considered.
Very young children are often more comfortable on one side than the other. They may not be able to turn equally in both directions. They are usually tight because they are newborns and have been stuck in the womb for a while, so they remain in one position. Then they may only feed one way, which can further the muscular imbalance.
In slightly older children, such as those around 5 years old, minor injuries may occur. In those cases, we focus on treating the muscles in the affected area.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Babies and Children
Chiropractic care realigns the spine and helps the nervous system function at its optimal level. Much like it does with adults, chiropractic care allows infants and young children to function better overall. It also helps with their pain or joint dysfunction.
Treatment Plan for Pediatric Patients
At Elite Chiropractic Beverly Hills, children receive very gentle chiropractic treatment. We may use an activator, diversified techniques, or other very gentle approaches. A child’s body responds well to adjustments, and it usually takes very little to help them feel at their best.
We work on their small muscles and help loosen them. We use a tool called an activator, which imparts a very small vibration to the neck and helps the baby loosen up.
We do not always adjust the little ones if they do not need it. When adjusting a child, we are looking at their nervous system and movement patterns. We adjust based on what we find. They do not require anything intense.

FAQs on Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic uses extremely gentle, low-force techniques adapted to a child’s size and age. Care is conservative and coordinated with your pediatrician when needed.
How early can my baby see a chiropractor?
Babies can be evaluated shortly after birth if parents have concerns. Techniques are light and carefully modified for newborns and infants.
What conditions do you commonly see in children?
We often evaluate colic, torticollis, posture concerns, growing pains, sports strains, and unusual movement patterns after medical causes are ruled out.
Will the adjustment hurt my child?
No. Adjustments for children are extremely gentle and often use light fingertip pressure or a small instrument. Most children tolerate care comfortably.
How many visits will my child need?
It depends on the concern and findings. Some children respond quickly, while others may need short-term follow-up visits based on progress.
Do you replace my child’s pediatrician?
No. Chiropractic care complements medical care. We encourage regular pediatric checkups and collaborate with other providers when appropriate.
