At McCann Chiropractic, we whole-heartedly believe that it’s easier to grow healthy kids than fix broken adults, and this is the basis of our care model for children. Simply put, we love caring for kids and helping them grow and develop exactly as they were meant to-free of nervous system disruption that allows them to thrive! We are proud to have provided natural pediatric chiropractic care to many children in Brookfield and the greater Milwaukee area. NEW Patients »

The best time to bring your child in for care is shortly after their birth so that we can help relieve any stress they’ve experienced during pregnancy and the birthing process. However, it’s never too late to help your child live better and happier. Whether you’re looking for care for your newborn, toddler or teenager, we’re always here for you.
For nervous parents, we’ll happily show you beforehand exactly how the adjustment will feel to your child-most are immediately put at ease when they realize we use the gentlest touch. Both Dr. Kate and Dr. Pat are certified in pediatrics and have been caring for children since 2008.
When you’re in our care, we want you and your child to feel like you’re at home, and we aim to care for each patient like a part of our own family.
When you enter our office, you’ll notice it’s built with children in mind. We love it when kids are excited to visit us-in fact, many children run to our in-office play area immediately upon entering. We have toy bins in each room for children to enjoy.
Chiropractic care for children is truly in our blood. When Dr. Kate and Dr. Pat‘s daughter was born, she received her first adjustment just hours after her birth. Believe us when we say that it is a real joy and a pleasure to be able to provide natural, safe and gentle adjustments to your child.
A newborn or young child has a nervous system, just like an adult. And just as an adult has various stressors that affect their nervous system, so do newborns and children. These stressors can begin in utero or during the birth process.
In addition, children go through considerable neurological development at a fast rate. Learning to communicate, crawl, interact with others, etc. So even at a young age, it’s crucial to have their nervous system checked.
Chiropractic isn’t a cure; it’s about improving the function of the nervous system. The nervous system is what controls and coordinates everything that goes on in your body. So when our nervous system is functioning better, that means our organs, tissues and cells can function better. The goal of the adjustment is to improve your nervous systems function, improve your adaptability to stress and have better efficiency.
An adjustment for a colicky baby helps to bring calmness to an overstressed nervous system. Is baby hard to console, gassy, spitting up excessively? The aim of chiropractic is to reduce that stress and tension on the baby. We see so many colicky babies thrive once under care.
Most insurance plans only cover musculoskeletal issues. We will verify any insurance benefits to determine coverage. Because we believe in transparency, we will let you know exactly what would be covered and what wouldn’t be.
There are many benefits to a collaborative approach with patients’ other providers. We may ask to contact your pediatrician to gain insight into your child’s particular issue and answer any questions the pediatrician may have.
Yes, rest assured that we use light pressure to adjust a newborn-about the same amount that’s used to check a tomato for ripeness. Sometimes babies are so relaxed that they fall asleep during their adjustment!
