Align Chiropractic & Massage is proud to be a family-friendly practice, offering gentle chiropractic care for children throughout Surfside Beach and the surrounding area. Kids’ bodies deal with their own set of stresses, growth spurts, sports, backpacks, and simply being active, and Dr. Bone and our team use an approach built specifically for younger patients rather than a scaled-down version of adult care. We want every child who visits to feel comfortable, safe, and at ease throughout the process.

Common Reasons Parents Bring Children In
How Align Evaluates Pediatric Patients
We perform a gentle, age-appropriate evaluation that takes extra time to help your child feel comfortable and safe throughout the visit, since a calm, unhurried approach matters as much as the exam itself with younger patients. We talk with parents about any specific concerns, whether that’s posture, an activity-related strain, or general wellness, and tailor the assessment to your child’s age and comfort level. Nothing about the visit is rushed.
Our Approach to Care
Pediatric chiropractic care uses techniques that are far gentler than adult adjustments, scaled appropriately to your child’s age, size, and specific needs. The goal is always comfort and safety first, with care adjusted in real time based on how your child responds. We keep parents informed and involved throughout, since your comfort with the process matters too.
Every Type of Care, Under One Roof
From chiropractic adjustments to laser therapy, massage, and corrective exercise, our team coordinates your entire care plan in one place instead of sending you elsewhere for each piece.

Living With a Growing Child's Needs
Backpack weight and posture habits are worth paying attention to at home, since both can contribute to the discomfort many kids experience during school years. Encouraging regular movement and varied physical activity, rather than long stretches of sitting, generally supports healthy development. If your child mentions recurring aches, seems to favor one side of their body, or has noticeably changed how they move or sit, that’s worth mentioning at their next visit. Every child develops differently, so ongoing, open communication between parents and our team helps us adjust care as your child grows.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes, when performed by a trained chiropractor using age-appropriate, gentle techniques suited to a child’s developing body. We always tailor our approach based on your child’s specific age and needs rather than using adult techniques on a smaller scale.
At what age can a child start seeing a chiropractor?
We evaluate children of various ages individually, since readiness and appropriate technique depend on the specific child. Contact our office to discuss your child’s particular situation and we can advise from there.
Will my child be uncomfortable during their visit?
We take extra time with pediatric patients specifically to keep them comfortable, and techniques used are much gentler than what’s used with adults. Most children find the visits easy, and we always adjust our pace to your child’s comfort.
