Gentle Chiropractic Care for Your Child — From Infancy Through Adolescence

At Optilife Chiropractic, Drs. Danielle Hoeffner and Alan Molina are passionate about helping children thrive at every stage of development. Pediatric chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and remarkably effective — and children of all ages can benefit from age-appropriate adjustments tailored specifically to their growing bodies.

Strong evidence supports chiropractic care as a natural, drug-free approach to resolving many common childhood conditions. Our pediatric patients experience real relief and lasting results, giving parents peace of mind and kids a healthier foundation for life.


Conditions We Help:

Pediatric chiropractic care at Optilife has been shown to help children with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Colic and excessive crying
  • Ear infections
  • Asthma and allergies
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Scoliosis
  • Bed-wetting
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Developmental delays
  • Behavioral challenges
  • ADHD

Studies consistently show that pediatric chiropractic care can help children overcome developmental and behavioral problems, and our doctors have had remarkable success treating children with a variety of conditions throughout the Tampa community.


Our Approach to Pediatric Adjustments:

Once a complete pediatric evaluation is performed, our doctors use the gentlest adjustment techniques available — including gentle manual adjustments, the Activator method, and a drop table. These techniques are specifically designed to be comfortable and pain-free for children, using only the lightest touch to achieve powerful results.

And yes — when requested, our therapy dogs Cooper and Gracie are happy to help keep the kids calm, comfortable, and smiling during their visit!


Infant Chiropractic Care:

The birth process — whether natural or via C-section — places significant stress on your baby’s spine and nervous system. Left unaddressed, this can contribute to a range of issues in the early months and years of life, including colic, feeding difficulties, and disrupted sleep.

Early chiropractic care gives your infant the best possible start. Our doctors are experienced in working with the tiniest patients, using feather-light pressure to gently align the spine and support healthy nervous system development from day one.
