Pediatric Chiropractic in Las Cruces
If your baby seems uncomfortable, hates the car seat, or always turns their head to one side, it’s normal to feel concerned. The same goes for toddlers who aren’t sleeping well after a fall, or teen athletes dealing with headaches or back pain.
At Smith Wellness, pediatric chiropractic care is designed to help kids move more comfortably and feel more like themselves—so home life feels easier, too. Dr. Jonathan Smith has cared for patients from 10 days old to 97 years old, and he loves working with children because gentle care can make a noticeable difference.

Care That’s Gentle and Kid-Focused
Pediatric chiropractic is very different from what most adults imagine. For newborns and infants, Dr. Smith uses extremely light, precise adjustments, often no more pressure than you’d use to check a ripe tomato. For toddlers and kids, he often uses an instrument adjustment (a small handheld tool) that delivers quick, gentle taps instead of twisting or “cracking.”
Parents are welcome to stay close during care, and many families find it helps when a parent goes first so little ones can see what to expect. Dr. Smith also relies on parent feedback and a child’s cues to keep each visit calm and comfortable.
What Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help With
Pediatric chiropractic is not a cure-all, but families often seek care for concerns like:
- Newborn stiffness or discomfort after a difficult birth
- Babies who prefer turning their head one way
- Fussiness with tummy time, rolling, or car seats
- Constipation and bowel movement changes in infants
- Sleep disruption or irritability after bumps and falls
- Posture-related aches, backpack strain, or recurring headaches
- Sports-related tension, nagging pain, or limited mobility
As movement improves, many parents notice better sleep, easier play, and a happier mood.
