At Hood Chiropractic, we believe it’s never too early to care for the spine – especially when it comes to growing bodies. From tumbles during play to posture challenges caused by screen time, kids experience plenty of physical stress that can affect their spinal alignment and nervous system. That’s why we offer safe, effective chiropractic care designed just for children, helping them grow strong, balanced, and pain-free.
Led by Dr. Christopher Hood, our clinic takes a thoughtful and personalized approach to pediatric chiropractic. Whether your child is experiencing frequent ear infections, digestive issues, poor posture, or the lingering effects of birth trauma, we use gentle techniques tailored to their age, size, and needs. Our goal is to support your child’s development in a way that’s natural, comfortable, and empowering for the whole family.
Conveniently located in St. Petersburg and trusted by families throughout Gulfport, Kenneth City, and Pinellas Park, Hood Chiropractic is here to help your child thrive – today and for years to come.
Did You Know?
A child’s spine grows rapidly in the first 10 years of life – and imbalances left unchecked during this time can influence development, behavior, and long-term health.
Our Approach
At Hood Chiropractic, we take a gentle, informed, and child-centered approach to chiropractic care. Dr. Chris and his team understand that children aren’t just small adults – they have unique structural and developmental needs. That’s why we tailor every adjustment and interaction to ensure your child feels safe, calm, and respected.
Our pediatric assessments include posture checks, range of motion testing, and, when appropriate, low-exposure digital X-rays to identify spinal or neurological stress. Using light, specific adjustments – often no more pressure than a fingertip – we help your child’s body function at its best without pain, force, or fear.
Whether you’re visiting us for wellness support or a specific concern, our goal is to partner with you in raising a healthy, vibrant child. Because healthy kids grow into healthy adults – and that starts with a strong, well-aligned spine.
