Chiropractic Pediatrics
Since 1993
Dr. Christine Moore brings more than three decades of specialized experience to the care of infants, children, and expectant mothers. She is a Diplomate in Chiropractic Pediatrics and is highly specialized.
Her training and background extends way beyond the required 300 to 400+ hours of rigorous, post-graduate education focused on neurodevelopmental assessments, primitive reflexes, and gentle, age-appropriate adjustment techniques. Dr. Moore was among the practitioners who participated in the very first pediatric chiropractic Diplomate program offered in 1993.
Experienced, Compassionate Chiropractic Care for Infants and Children and Expectant Mothers
Throughout her career, Dr. Moore has had the privilege of caring for thousands of babies and children. In many cases, that relationship begins during pregnancy, when she provides gentle chiropractic care for the expectant mother, and continues after the baby is born.
Dr. Moore understands that the earliest stages of life can place significant physical demands on a child’s developing body. The birth process itself can be physically challenging, followed by the many tumbles, falls, twists, and sudden movements that naturally occur as babies learn to crawl, stand, walk, and explore their surroundings.
Her approach to pediatric chiropractic care is exceptionally gentle, thoughtful, and tailored to each child’s age, size, comfort level, and individual needs. Using light pressure and specialized techniques, Dr. Moore focuses on supporting healthy movement, proper alignment, and optimal nervous-system function during every stage of a child’s development.
Gentle Support During Pregnancy (Prenatal Care)
Dr. Moore approaches every pregnancy with care, patience, and respect, working alongside the mother’s obstetric or midwifery team whenever appropriate. When a baby is in a breech position, Dr. Moore may use the Webster Technique—a gentle chiropractic method designed to support pelvic balance, reduce tension, and improve comfort during pregnancy. The technique does not manually turn the baby; instead, it focuses on creating a more balanced environment within the mother’s pelvis.
Caring for Newborns and Supporting New Parents
Dr. Moore’s care extends beyond the chiropractic adjustment. She takes time to listen to parents, answer their questions, and provide practical guidance during the often-overwhelming newborn stage. This may include teaching parents comfortable positioning and proper burping techniques, discussing concerns related to feeding or fussiness, and helping families better understand their baby’s posture, movement, and physical development. Dr. Moore also provides gentle cranial assessment and light-touch techniques intended to support normal movement and symmetry of the bones of the head. When parents have concerns about their baby’s head shape, she offers education, at-home guidance, and collaborative care or referral to the child’s pediatrician or an appropriate specialist when needed.
A Calm and Reassuring Experience for the Entire Family
Parents appreciate Dr. Moore not only for her knowledge and technical skill, but also for the kindness and reassurance she brings to every visit. She understands that entrusting someone with the care of a baby or young child is an important decision. Her goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and parents feel heard, respected, and confident in the care their family receives.
Questions About Childhood Vaccination? Let’s Have a Thoughtful Conversation.
Dr. Christine Moore understands that decisions about childhood vaccination can feel deeply personal and sometimes overwhelming. Drawing on decades of experience caring for infants, children, and expectant mothers, she provides a compassionate, judgment-free environment where parents can openly discuss their questions and concerns. She encourages families to begin these conversations early, communicate honestly with one another, and work together so both parents feel informed and confident in the decisions they make for their child. Dr. Moore respects that every family brings different experiences, beliefs, and health considerations to the conversation. Her role is to listen, offer thoughtful support, and encourage parents to review current medical information with their child’s pediatrician or licensed medical provider. Questions about vaccine benefits, risks, timing, combination vaccines, or possible schedule modifications should be discussed with the child’s physician, with the health and safety of the child always remaining the highest priority.
Elliott’s Story: Encouraging Progress Through Gentle Pediatric Care
'Our littlest patients hold a very special place in our hearts—and we love celebrating their progress with their families!'
When 8-month-old Elliott first visited Dr. Christine Moore, his parents were concerned that he was not yet rolling over or crawling. He often kept his hands tightly closed in fists and was not comfortably flexing his legs into a crawling position. He was also experiencing chest and sinus congestion.
Dr. Moore carefully evaluated Elliott and developed a gentle, age-appropriate approach that included pediatric chiropractic care and infrared therapy. The infrared therapy was used to provide soothing support for his chest and sinus congestion, while the adjustment focused on areas of tension and restricted movement.
Within just a few minutes of receiving care, Elliott’s hands began to relax and open. He also started positioning his body as though preparing to roll over, while bringing his legs underneath him into the familiar rocking position that often precedes crawling.
For Elliott’s family, seeing these immediate and encouraging changes was an exciting moment. His story is a wonderful example of Dr. Moore’s gentle, attentive approach and her commitment to supporting each child’s comfort, mobility, and developmental journey.
Every child is unique. Individual experiences and results may vary, and chiropractic or infrared therapy should not replace evaluation or treatment by a child’s pediatric healthcare provider.
