Children are constantly moving—learning to crawl, climbing, running, playing, carrying backpacks, using devices, joining sports, and occasionally taking a few bumps and falls along the way.
When discomfort begins affecting sleep, movement, school, sports, or everyday play, parents want answers they can trust.
At Collin Chiropractic in Buford, Dr. Richard Collin provides careful, age-appropriate evaluations for infants, toddlers, children, pre-teens, and teenagers. He listens to parents, explains what he finds, and makes sure both you and your child feel comfortable before moving forward.
Children do not always describe discomfort the way adults do. Sometimes parents first notice changes in movement, posture, sleep, activity, or willingness to participate.

From infants and toddlers to school-age kids, pre-teens, and teenagers, care should always reflect the child’s stage of growth and the concerns bringing the family in.
Parents may seek an evaluation when they have concerns about movement, positioning, muscle tension, or apparent discomfort. Care is extremely gentle and coordinated with the child’s pediatric provider when needed.
Climbing, running, playground falls, and rapidly changing movement patterns can sometimes lead to soreness, stiffness, or hesitation with certain activities.
Backpacks, classroom sitting, playground activity, screen use, growth, dance, and recreational sports can place new demands on developing muscles and joints.
Teens may experience posture strain, neck or back pain, sports injuries, muscle tightness, joint discomfort, or overuse symptoms.
“I love working with kids. I’ll listen to your concerns, explain things in a way your child can understand, and make sure they feel comfortable before we begin. Care is always gentle and adapted to their age, size, and needs. If another provider should be involved, I’ll tell you. My goal is for both you and your child to feel heard, reassured, and cared for.”
The visit begins with a conversation about what you have noticed, what your child is feeling, and how the concern is affecting school, sleep, sports, play, or everyday movement.
Dr. Collin will explain what he finds and whether chiropractic care, home guidance, activity changes, or another type of evaluation may be appropriate. You will have an opportunity to ask questions before deciding what comes next.
Chiropractic care does not replace pediatric medical care. Illness, developmental concerns, neurological symptoms, or unexplained pain should be evaluated by the child’s pediatrician or an appropriate healthcare provider.
Maybe your child is sitting out at recess, avoiding practice, struggling with a backpack, sleeping poorly, or giving up an activity they usually enjoy.
Understanding how pain is affecting your child’s life helps Dr. Collin evaluate the problem and recommend the right next step.
Sports, dance, cheerleading, gymnastics, martial arts, running, and recreational activities can lead to strains, joint pain, falls, and overuse symptoms. Dr. Collin can evaluate musculoskeletal concerns and recommend physical therapy, orthopedic care, imaging, or another medical evaluation when appropriate.

Meet Dr. Collin →Parents may seek an evaluation when they have concerns about an infant’s movement, positioning, muscle tension, or apparent discomfort. Any care must be extremely gentle, age-appropriate, and based on the child’s individual needs. Medical, feeding, developmental, or illness-related concerns should be discussed with the child’s pediatrician.
No. Evaluation, positioning, and care are adapted to the child’s age, size, comfort, and ability to participate. Techniques used with infants and young children are not the same as those commonly used with adults.
Chiropractic care may be appropriate for some musculoskeletal back, neck, posture, joint, or movement concerns. Dr. Collin first evaluates what may be contributing and recommends referral when another type of care is more appropriate.
Some muscle, joint, posture, and movement concerns may be appropriate for chiropractic evaluation. Significant injuries, suspected fractures, concussions, instability, or severe symptoms require medical, orthopedic, or emergency evaluation.
Children are never forced into an examination or care. Dr. Collin explains what will happen, uses age-appropriate language, and gives the child time to become comfortable.
If pain, stiffness, posture concerns, a recent injury, or changes in movement are affecting your infant, child, pre-teen, or teenager, Dr. Richard Collin will take the time to listen and help your family understand the next step.
