Care for growing bodies

Pediatric Chiropractor in Bozeman for Gentle, Family-Centered Care

Pediatric chiropractic is a movement-focused form of supportive care adapted to a child’s age, size, development, comfort, and reason for visiting.

Dr. Claire Schauf speaking with a family during a pediatric chiropractic visit

Children move through constant stages of growth, new activities, sports, school, and changing physical demands. A pediatric visit looks at how a child is moving and whether stiffness, movement preferences, posture changes, or activity-related stress may be worth addressing.

Care does not follow an adult template. Dr. Claire adjusts the evaluation, communication, positioning, and hands-on approach to the child’s age and comfort. Parents remain part of the conversation and are encouraged to ask questions.

Pediatric chiropractic does not replace a pediatrician, medical evaluation, developmental care, or emergency care. Windy Ridge coordinates recommendations around what is appropriate for the child and refers families when another kind of care should come first.

A child-specific approach

Gentle Care for Growing Bodies

The purpose is to understand movement and comfort—not to force a standard adjustment or promise a particular outcome.

Age-Appropriate Evaluation

History, observation, movement, posture, and gentle examination are adapted to the child’s stage of development.

Comfort Comes First

Positioning and hands-on care can be changed, paused, or deferred if a child is uncomfortable or needs more time.

Parents Stay Informed

Dr. Claire explains what she is assessing, what she recommends, and when another provider should be involved.

Movement-Based Support

Families may seek care for movement preferences, general stiffness, posture changes, or physical stress from sports and activity.

Windy Ridge Pregnancy & Pediatrics is a family-focused expression of the clinic’s patient-centered approach. It is designed for babies, children, parents, and growing families who value clear explanations and an unhurried experience.

Pediatric chiropractic remains supportive care. Fever, significant injury, breathing difficulty, unusual lethargy, sudden neurological changes, or other urgent concerns should be evaluated promptly by the child’s pediatric or emergency medical team.

If you are unsure where to begin, Windy Ridge can help you determine whether a chiropractic visit, a pediatric medical visit, or another next step makes the most sense.

Frequently asked questions

Questions About Pediatric Chiropractic

What is pediatric chiropractic?

It is supportive, movement-focused chiropractic care adapted to a child’s age, size, development, comfort, and clinical findings.

How is pediatric chiropractic different from adult chiropractic?

The history, examination, communication, positioning, and hands-on techniques are modified for the child. Pediatric visits do not simply apply an adult adjustment with less force.

What should I expect at my child’s first visit?

Dr. Claire reviews the child’s history and the parent’s concerns, observes movement and posture, performs an age-appropriate examination, and explains whether supportive chiropractic care is appropriate.

Is pediatric chiropractic a replacement for pediatric medical care?

No. Chiropractic care does not replace a pediatrician, medical diagnosis, emergency care, or developmental services. Windy Ridge recommends medical evaluation whenever a child’s presentation calls for it.
