Pediatric Chiropractor in Temecula
Gentle, sensory-friendly chiropractic care that can complement your child's broader health and support team.
Why Temecula Families Trust Us With Their Children
When your child is experiencing neurodevelopmental or behavioral challenges, finding the right support is a journey. Chiropractic care isn't a treatment for these conditions, but many families find it to be a supportive part of their child's broader care plan.
At Taproot Chiropractic, Dr. Jennifer provides gentle, neurologically focused care intended to give the brain clearer sensory information from the spine and body. As a FOCUS-certified chiropractor, she brings additional training in working with children who have unique sensory and developmental needs, creating an environment where they feel safe and understood.
Supporting Your Child's Well-being
Every child's nervous system takes in sensory information and uses it to coordinate movement, respond to the environment, and regulate body systems. While medical, behavioral, and educational therapies address neurodevelopmental conditions, chiropractic care provides gentle sensory input through the spine and body.
An adjustment is not a treatment for a diagnosis. It is an integration event intended to help the brain update its understanding of the body, which may support regulation, adaptability, coordinated movement, and physical comfort.
Our care is designed to complement—not replace—appropriate medical or behavioral support.

Adjustments for kids are very gentle and age-appropriate. There's no forceful manipulation. Techniques are adapted to each child's size, age, and comfort level.
A Collaborative Approach: We work alongside your family and encourage maintaining relationships with your pediatrician and specialists.
FOCUS Certification — What Makes Us Different
FOCUS Academy certification provides chiropractors with specialized training in adapting care for children with neurodevelopmental challenges, including ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences.
This does not mean we treat these conditions. Rather, it means Dr. Jennifer has the tools to create a supportive, adaptable environment and provide musculoskeletal care that respects your child's unique presentation and needs.
Patient Stories
"Now that I'm expecting twins, her knowledge of prenatal care has been an absolute lifesaver. She is so thorough, so thoughtful, and she takes her time... This last visit, my son ended up getting adjusted too, and I kid you not, he has slept better than he has in ages."
"She makes the environment so fun for him and my daughter who tags along a lot. She's so efficient, intentional, and caring... Every visit is quick, fun and easy."
