How Pediatric Chiropractic Care Works

Gentle, precise care designed specifically for growing bodies – from newborns to teens
Gentle Assessment & Evaluation

We begin with a comprehensive yet gentle evaluation of your child’s spine and nervous system. Using specialized pediatric techniques, we identify any misalignments or nerve interference that may be affecting their growth, development, or overall health. Our assessment is thorough, non-invasive, and designed specifically for children’s delicate structures – from newborns just minutes old to active teenagers.

Specialized Pediatric Adjustments

Pediatric adjustments are nothing like adult chiropractic care. We use incredibly gentle, precise techniques – often no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato. These safe, effective adjustments remove nerve interference, restore proper spinal alignment, and allow your child’s body to function as designed. Most children find adjustments relaxing and even enjoyable, and many fall asleep during their sessions.

Supporting Healthy Growth & Development

As your child’s spine and nervous system function optimally, their body’s natural healing abilities work at full capacity. This supports healthy immune function, proper growth and development, better sleep, improved digestion, and overall vitality. Regular pediatric chiropractic care helps prevent problems before they become chronic, giving your child the strongest foundation for a lifetime of health and wellness.

A Legacy of Pediatric Chiropractic Excellence

Trusted by Cedar Rapids families for more than 57 years – from newborns to generations.

For decades, Dr. Gene Cretsinger and Dr. Janet Cuhel have been the trusted choice for Cedar Rapids-area families who want to raise healthy, thriving children naturally. As co-founders of Spinal Corrective Center, they’ve helped generations of parents feel confident choosing gentle, drug-free chiropractic care that supports a child’s growth, development, and long-term wellness.

Dr. Janet is known for her deep commitment to pediatric chiropractic and family education. As one of the first chiropractors to complete the International Chiropractors Association Pediatric Diplomate Program, she has spent her career empowering parents with practical guidance and compassionate support – especially when families are navigating complex health challenges.

Together, Dr. Cretsinger and Dr. Cuhel have created a practice built on trust, education, and whole-family care – so parents never have to wonder “what might have been” if they had known about chiropractic sooner.
