Chiropractic for Infants and Children
Spinal issues can start from birth and bring a large amount of stress to an infant’s spine and nervous system leading to long-term issues throughout the entire body. If spinal misalignments are ignored at an early age, the child can develop serious problems later in life.
More and more parents are seeking chiropractic care for their children. Many spinal problems seen in adults can begin as early as birth. Even natural birthing methods can place stress on the infant’s spine and developing nervous system. The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many common newborn complaints. We work to increase the overall health and wellness for children and can help with prevalent problems such as:
-
ADHD
-
Bed Wetting
-
Colic
-
Ear Infections
-
Allergies
-
Asthma
-
Headaches
-
Breathing Problems
-
Sleep Disturbances
-
Chronic Infections
How Children Are Adjusted
Drs. Melissa and Michael McCue will take a case history and perform a chiropractic exam to determine if spinal subluxations exist. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are both gentle and specific to the child’s developing spinal structures.
Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care.


Mike is easy to get along with and he’s really helped my back and neck. Also very understanding in working with insurances. I also love that he’s available easily by email.

Thanks to Dr. Melissa and Dr. Mike, I was able to understand the power of chiropractic care. More importantly they helped erase my fear of going to the chiropractor with their techniques and their patience for explaining each and every move. THANK YOU!

It is amazing what you would do as a mother to get the best care for your child. I was referred to Dr. Melissa McCue by a reliable source and started taking my infant son to see her for acid reflux issues (despite living almost an hour from the office). She is not only incredibly pleasant but also highly knowledgable. As time went, on she also helped my son identify and overcome a subluxation issue which caused him to struggle with crawling. We then transferred to a Dr closer to home with Dr Melissa’s help, merely for commuting convenience, however that Dr did not compare in any way, so back we were and continue to go! Words cannot express how much we love seeing Dr Melissa (yes, especially my son!). She is great with children and her care is above and beyond what words could describe. Worth the hour drive!!

My Aunt and Uncle took me to see Dr. Mike at River’s Edge Chiropractic. Dr. Mike is correcting a pinched nerve in my neck as well as other issues. I’ve improved with each session. He’s great, explains everything well, his Assistant Lisa is super helpful, and I trust him with my chiropractic needs.

You can not go wrong with Dr. Mike and Melissa McCue. They have a whole body approach to maintaining your health and healing when you need it.

Dr. McCue is the best. I’ve been going to Rivers Edge for 4 years now and can really feel the difference since I’ve been here. Thanks for taking good care of me.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Mike for over a year now. When I started, I was experiencing severe pain from sciatica. I’ve been pain free since going to Dr. Mike. Look forward to my regular maintenance visits. Highly recommended!

I started taking my 6 week old son to Dr. Melissa for acid reflux. He was always crying from the pain and I was reaching a breaking point. After doing a lot of research I came across lots of threads about how chiropractics “cured” babies reflux, I decided to give it a try. I googled chiropractors in the area and Colonial Valley popped right up. After reading great reviews I gave them a call. It was the best decision I could have made for my son. I saw an immediate change in his behavior. His reflux would get better after each visit to the point that after a few weeks he was off his reflux meds. Now he is a 5 months old and happy as can be! We have had a great experience with Colonial Valley and can not thank Dr. Melissa for all she has done to help our sweet boy!
