I have been coming to Dr. Kimes for 8 years now. I first came because my son had been constipated for
2 weeks and he was only 10 months old. You can imagine how unhappy he was. I tried everything to try
and get him to have a bowel movement as his pediatrician suggested but nothing worked until he saw Dr.
Kimes. Dr. Kimes explained how he could be constipated because of a pinched nerve in his low back
causing nerve blockage to his digestion system. After his first adjustment, he had his first bowel
movement within a couple of hours. Now my 2 year gets checked along with my husband and myself. I
don't know what my family would do without Dr. Kimes.

I have been getting adjusted at this office for years and I absolutely love it. I started taking each
of my daughter's to get adjusted, my first daughter at a couple months (it helps immeanly with her
allergies) and I started taking my second daughter at 2 weeks(it has helped her not spit up so much
and the sensitive spots that were on her back after birth are gone). It's is so helpful and we rely
heavily on our adjustments to feel our best. We recomened this office to everyone.

Have questions about our pediatric chiropractic in Salinas? Don't worry! Below we have
provided answers to the most common
questions about pediatric chiropractic care.
Is chiropractic care safe for infants?
Safety is the number one concern for parents considering chiropractic care for infants. Pediatric
chiropractic care uses very gentle, low-force techniques that are specifically adapted for babies
and young children. The pressure used during an infant adjustment is typically no more than the
amount you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. When performed by our chiropractor trained
in pediatric care, adjustments are designed to be safe and age-appropriate.
Are chiropractic adjustments uncomfortable or painful for children?
Chiropractic adjustments for children are not meant to be painful. Pediatric techniques are
gentle, controlled, and tailored to a child’s age, size, and comfort level.
Most infants and children remain calm during adjustments. Some babies may cry, but this is often
due to normal infant fussiness rather than discomfort. Older children typically describe the
experience as mild pressure rather than pain.
How do I know if chiropractic care is right for my child?
Many parents consider chiropractic care for children experiencing posture issues, sports-related
strain, growing pains, or general musculoskeletal discomfort. Others seek care as part of a
broader wellness approach.
Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the spine, joints, and nervous system. If your child has
back pain, neck tension,
frequent falls, or physical stress from sports or
daily activities, our
chiropractic evaluation may help determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Do I need clearance from my child’s pediatrician before starting chiropractic care?
In most cases, formal clearance is not required. However, many parents choose to inform their
child’s pediatrician before starting chiropractic treatment — especially for infants or children
with medical complexities.
Can I stay with my child during chiropractic adjustments?
Yes. Parents are typically encouraged to stay in the room during pediatric chiropractic
appointments.
Having a parent present helps children feel safe and comfortable. For infants and toddlers,
adjustments are often performed while the baby is being held by a parent. Open communication
during the visit ensures you understand what techniques are being used and why.
What are the potential benefits of chiropractic care for infants?
Some parents explore chiropractic care for infants to support:
General musculoskeletal comfort
Neck mobility and range of motion
Postural balance
Tension related to birth positioning
What are the potential benefits of chiropractic care for children with special needs?
Children with special needs may experience muscle tightness, postural challenges, or movement
limitations. Chiropractic care may support comfort, mobility, and joint function in some cases.
What are the potential benefits of chiropractic care for teens?
Teenagers often experience physical stress from sports, heavy backpacks, screen use, and rapid
growth. Chiropractic care for teens may help address:
Back and neck discomfort
Postural strain
Sports-related joint stress
Headaches related to muscle tension
