Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Hilliard
Setting the Foundation for Lifelong Health
Your child was designed to be healthy and thriving. Yet today, over 40% of children in our community are dealing with chronic health conditions, leaving parents feeling unheard and with that gut feeling that "there has to be something else that will help."
At Steadfast Chiropractic in Hilliard, we understand that feeling. When others say "they'll grow out of it," we see how these challenges—whether it's colic, constipation, recurring ear infections, or developmental delays—aren't just phases to endure. Without addressing the root cause, these issues can become the foundation for chronic conditions as your child grows.
Understanding Your Child's Nervous System
Children's health challenges often stem from stress and tension in their nervous system. This master communication network controls everything from digestion and sleep to sensory processing and emotional regulation. When interference disrupts this system, various symptoms can appear that seem unrelated but share a common source.
Our neurologically-focused approach to pediatric chiropractic care gently removes this interference, allowing your child's body to communicate effectively and heal naturally. Instead of simply managing symptoms, we help restore proper function so your child can reach their full potential.
Our Gentle Approach to Pediatric Care
Our pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle—using no more pressure than you'd use to check the ripeness of a tomato for infants. Our specialized techniques are designed specifically for children, ensuring a comfortable and positive experience. Many of our littlest patients even look forward to their visits!
Dr. Claire and Dr. Brennan have advanced training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), allowing them to provide specialized care for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.

Giavanna's Story
Giavanna had just turned two when we met her. She had a few challenges she was dealing with, she was not currently walking yet and she was also dealing with chronic constipation since birth.
Here is what her family has to say about their experience:
“We felt like there was no hope for her. We had tried physical therapy for over six months with little to no change. We just prayed for the Lord to heal her legs so she could be up and moving. However, we were told the likelihood of that happening past her second birthday was not likely. Giavanna was very frustrated and would often give up and refuse to try to do more. Coaxing her would just make her angry.
Care at Steadfast was different from the first phone call. You gave us hope and explained everything to us in a way that was understandable, and it made complete sense. We saw results faster than anything else we tried!
We realized chiropractic care was working when Giavanna had her first soft stool. We have no idea when that last happened, if ever. Gia’s first adjustment was in January and she started walking all over the place on February 1st, at 25 months.
We have so much hope that she will lead a normal life. We don’t have to worry about any obstacles with mobility like we did before. We don’t have to worry constantly if there is something significantly wrong with her that we are unaware of, or need to have further testing that could be traumatic to her.
She is so proud of herself and her confidence is soaring!”
Indy's Story
Indy was a few weeks old when we noticed he wouldn’t turn his head to the left. He was born by emergency C-section which can be stressful on a baby’s neck.
It is overwhelming when you’re a first time parent and your baby isn’t acting “normal.” We were referred to Steadfast by our doula and saw an immediate improvement in Indy.
Indy was doing tummy time about two weeks into chiropractic care and he lifted his head and turned it to the left with ease. At Steadfast they focus on your whole body, not just your problem area. We also believe Indy was so ahead of his milestones because his body was functioning so well.
He is now an active one year old and he is thriving! We love continuing his care as he grows and moves to keep his body healthy and comfortable.
