At Kaleidoscope Chiropractic in downtown Sacramento, we provide gentle, neurologically-based care for people of all ages — from newborns to adults, including expecting moms. Our approach focuses on optimizing the nervous system so the body can regulate, heal, and adapt to the world around it. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, supporting your child’s development, or just looking to feel more balanced and resilient, our care is tailored to your unique nervous system and goals.
For prenatal patients, we use the Webster Technique — a safe, gentle method to balance the pelvis and surrounding tissues. This helps support comfort throughout pregnancy, promotes optimal fetal positioning, and prepares the body for smoother labor. During each visit, we assess neurological function to help shift the body out of “fight or flight” and into a more restful, parasympathetic “rest and digest” state. When the nervous system is well-regulated, both mom and baby benefit.
We’re also often asked: is chiropractic care safe for babies and children? The answer is yes — and the care we provide looks very different from adult adjustments. Pediatric adjustments include the use of a technique called sustained contact, which involves light, specific pressure (no more than you’d use to check a peach for ripeness). We focus heavily on cranial work and evaluating primitive and postural reflexes, as well as cranial nerve integrity. Why? Because in early development, these reflexes are key indicators of how the nervous system is functioning and integrating. When reflexes persist too long — or don’t appear when they should — it can point to nervous system dysregulation.
Some nervous system dysregulation signs that a child may benefit from care include colic, reflux, digestive challenges, latching issues, ear infections, reoccurring illness, torticollis, high tension, sensory challenges, and poor sleep. Addressing these concerns through gentle chiropractic care helps restore balance and supports better sleep, digestion, immune function, and adaptability as kids grow.
Chiropractic isn’t just about pain relief. It’s about helping the body function at its highest potential. By improving how the nervous system communicates and adapts, we give growing bodies the best possible foundation for lifelong wellness.
At Kaleidoscope, we believe in proactive, preventative care — not just for those in discomfort, but for anyone looking to function at their best. Whether you’re pregnant, parenting, or simply seeking better regulation and resilience, we’re here to support your journey with personalized care for your whole family.
