As a pediatric chiropractor in Allen, TX, we help babies and kids with colic, reflux, sleep issues, and developmental challenges — using gentle, nervous system-focused care that supports your child's natural development from infancy through their growing years.
Every stage brings its own changes. We care for children at every age, adapting our approach to how their brain and body are developing.
Gentle care after birth, feeding and latching concerns, and support through early milestones like rolling and crawling.
Movement, coordination, balance, and the everyday tumbles that come with learning to walk, run, and explore.
Posture, focus, sleep, sports, and the physical demands of a full school day.
Athletics, growth spurts, screen time, and the stress of a demanding schedule on a growing body.
Your child's first visit is unhurried and mostly a conversation and a gentle exam. Nothing happens until you understand what we find and feel comfortable. Most first visits take 30–45 minutes.
Questions before you book? Call 214-215-4119.
We start by listening. We'll take a full picture of your child's health, including pregnancy and birth history, feeding, sleep, development, and anything else you've noticed. You know your child best, so your observations guide everything that follows.
We assess how your child moves, coordinates, and adapts — looking at posture, range of motion, and nervous system function. For babies, much of this happens while they're resting in your arms. It's calm, hands-on, and never rushed.
For infants, the pressure is about what you'd use to check the ripeness of a tomato — so light that many babies fall asleep or stay relaxed through it. For older kids, adjustments are gentle and specific, with no twisting or forceful cracking. Most children describe it as a light, comfortable pressure.
We'll explain what we found in plain language and outline a clear recommendation for care. You stay in control of the pace, and we welcome every question. Nothing is done until you understand it and feel good about it.
These are the concerns we see most often in our Allen office. If something isn't listed, just ask — we'll tell you honestly whether chiropractic care is right for it or point you in the right direction.
Frequent crying, digestive discomfort, and spit-up that leave baby (and parents) exhausted. Many families report calmer, more comfortable babies with gentle care.
A head tilt or preference for turning to one side, often noticed in the first months. We assess neck motion and alignment and support more balanced, comfortable movement.
Difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, and restless nights. When the nervous system is better regulated, many children settle more easily and wake less.
Big emotions, meltdowns, and difficulty settling. We look at how the brain and body are communicating to support better regulation — regulation before correction.
Coordination, balance, posture, and milestone concerns. If your child struggles with certain movements, that's worth paying attention to — and something we evaluate.
Youth sports, growth spurts, and screen-related posture. We help growing bodies move well and recover from the demands of an active schedule.
"Dr. Harrison is the best. He's the only chiropractor we trust with our son who started coming here at 4 months old. He is thorough, has the best bedside manner, and truly gets to know you. The office ladies are also incredibly nice."

Pediatric chiropractic is gentle by design. We use age-appropriate techniques with no twisting or forceful cracking, and we always do a full history and exam before any care.
Just as importantly, we're clear about what chiropractic can and can't do. If something is outside our scope, we'll tell you — and coordinate with your pediatrician or refer you to the right provider.
For infants, no more pressure than you'd use to check a ripe tomato — gentle, specific, and comfortable.
Every child gets a complete history and assessment before any adjustment. We only accept cases we can safely help.
If your child's concern falls outside chiropractic care, we refer to your pediatrician or a specialist rather than treat outside our scope.

The questions parents ask us most about gentle care for babies and kids in Allen, TX.
Risks are low when care is gentle and given by a trained provider. For infants we use very light pressure — about what you'd use to check a ripe tomato. Every baby gets a full history and exam first, and we refer to your pediatrician when something falls outside chiropractic care.
We care for children from newborns through teens — and their parents too. Our approach is tailored to each child's age and stage of development, from infant check-ups after birth to growing athletes and busy teens. Everyone in your family is welcome.
Your child's first visit is mostly a conversation and a gentle exam. We take a full pregnancy and health history, assess how your child moves and adapts, and explain what we find. No adjustments happen until you understand the findings and feel comfortable — most first visits take 30–45 minutes.
Every case is different, so the number of visits depends on your child's age, concern, and how they respond. Many families start with a short series of visits to address a specific issue, then move to periodic wellness check-ins as their child grows. You'll always get a clear recommendation and stay in control of the pace.
We're in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), UnitedHealthcare, and UMR. Because coverage varies by plan, the fastest way to get an exact answer is to call our office at 214-215-4119 with your insurance details — we'll verify your benefits and clearly explain what's covered. Self-pay is also available.
For self-pay patients, an exam is $100 and a follow-up adjustment is $65. If you're using insurance, your cost depends on your specific plan and benefits, which we'll verify for you in advance. Call 214-215-4119 and we'll explain your exact costs clearly before your child's first visit — no surprises.
Pediatric care uses far lighter pressure and gentler techniques than adult adjustments. Instead of focusing on pain, we look at how your child moves, coordinates, and adapts — supporting their developing nervous system. Children aren't little adults, so their care is never treated that way.
Absolutely — we're a family-friendly office with toys, books, and space for siblings. Many parents bring the whole family, and we're happy to check on more than one child during the same visit. Just let us know when you book so we can plan enough time.
If we find something outside the scope of chiropractic care, we refer you to your pediatrician or the appropriate specialist rather than treat it ourselves. Our goal is your child's health, not keeping every case — so you'll always get an honest recommendation, even when that means seeing someone else.
