Dr. Hector Martinez, DC — ICPA member — provides gentle, safe chiropractic care for infants, toddlers, and children in Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, and Palatine. Adjustments are adapted to each child's age and size.
Children's bodies are constantly growing and changing. From the physical demands of birth to the bumps and falls of early childhood to the postural challenges of school-age life — the spine and nervous system can benefit from chiropractic care at every stage of development.
Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are nothing like adult adjustments. The force used for a newborn is comparable to the gentle pressure of two fingertips. Techniques are fully adapted to each child's age, size, and comfort level.
Dr. Martinez is an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and has pursued advanced training in both pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care.
Parents bring their children to Tri Modern Health for a wide range of concerns. Chiropractic care supports healthy development from birth through adolescence.
Even gentle deliveries can place stress on an infant's cervical spine. A chiropractic check-up after birth helps ensure proper alignment as your baby begins to grow.
When a baby consistently turns their head to one side, it may indicate tension in the cervical spine. Gentle adjustments can help restore full range of motion.
Some parents find chiropractic care helpful for colicky babies. By addressing nerve tension in the spine, adjustments may help reduce digestive discomfort and improve sleep.
Recurring ear infections in children are sometimes associated with eustachian tube drainage issues. Chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical area may support better drainage.
Growing children — especially those spending hours daily on devices — often develop poor posture. Early chiropractic care and corrective exercise can prevent long-term problems.
Active kids and teen athletes benefit from chiropractic care for sprains, strains, growth-plate stress, and overuse injuries — getting back to the game faster.
A pediatric chiropractic visit at Tri Modern Health begins with a thorough review of your child's health history, birth history, developmental milestones, and current symptoms. Dr. Martinez will explain every step of the evaluation and adjustment before he begins — and will always check in with your child about their comfort.
The visit is unhurried. Children are never rushed or forced into any position. Most kids leave happy and curious about their next visit.
The first visit is approximately one hour. Follow-up visits are typically 30 minutes.
