Paediatric Chiropractic in Reading
Helping Children and Teens Grow Stronger,
Move Freely & Thrive
Our team is thrilled to offer gentle, focused chiropractic care tailored for children aged 6 and older. As kids grow and become more active, their bodies go through rapid changes—physically, mentally and neurologically. Dr. Bruce Hilligan focuses on supporting spinal alignment and nervous system function to help them grow into their full potential.
Why Chiropractic Care for Children?
From school desks and heavy backpacks to sports, screens, and growth spurts—modern life places significant physical stress on young bodies. Poor posture, minor injuries and ongoing strain can lead to spinal misalignments that impact movement, comfort, and even concentration. At Optimal Align Chiropractic, Dr. Hilligan detects and corrects these issues early, using safe techniques designed specifically for growing bodies. Our focus on structural correction rather than just symptom management helps establish proper spinal patterns during these crucial developmental years.
The Family-Oriented Approach
Our Reading clinic offers a warm, welcoming environment where children and teens feel comfortable and engaged in their health journey. We take time to explain procedures in age-appropriate language and involve both parents and young patients in the care process. Your child’s initial assessment includes a thorough but gentle evaluation of their posture, spinal alignment, and movement patterns. Dr. Hilligan then develops a personalized care plan that addresses their specific needs while considering their unique development stage and activity level.

Whether your child is an athlete experiencing sports-related strains, a student spending hours at a desk, or simply navigating the physical challenges of growing up, we offer care that’s proactive, supportive and rooted in long-term wellness.
