Chiropractor with child patient
At The Shift Chiropractic, we understand that children have unique spinal health needs. From birth through adolescence, your child's body is developing and growing rapidly. Specialized pediatric chiropractic care ensures proper spinal alignment, optimal nervous system function, and healthy development throughout these critical years.
Our approach to kid chiropractic is gentle, compassionate, and specifically tailored to children's bodies. We use age-appropriate techniques and create a welcoming, comfortable environment where children feel safe and supported. Whether your child is experiencing discomfort, recovering from an injury, or you want to support their overall wellness and development, our experienced chiropractors are here to help.
Led by Dr. Ben Glass, D.C. and Dr. Irina Velichko, D.C., we've spent over 10 years caring for families throughout Oakland and the East Bay. Your child deserves exceptional care — and we're committed to providing it.

Gentle Techniques: We use specialized, age-appropriate adjustment techniques designed specifically for children's developing bodies. Our methods are gentle, safe, and effective.
Comfort & Trust: We create a welcoming, non-threatening environment where children feel comfortable and safe. We take time to explain what we're doing in language kids understand.
