Pediatric Chiropractor in Argyle, TX
Gentle, nervous-system-focused care for newborns, babies and growing children.
Birth is the first physical event of your child's life, and even a straightforward delivery can leave tension through a baby's neck, jaw and upper spine. That tension can show up in the everyday things — feeding on one side only, difficulty settling, a head that always turns the same way.
Care for an infant looks nothing like an adult adjustment. The pressure used is roughly what you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato, or to place a contact lens on your own eye. Dr. Morgan Malpass is Webster-certified through the ICPA, the certification that covers pregnancy and pediatric technique.
How early can a baby be seen?
Days old. Newborns are among the most common patients in this practice, and the earlier tension is addressed, the less compensation a growing body has to build around it.
Every visit starts with a conversation about your child's birth story, feeding, sleep and milestones — because that history usually explains what the body is doing.
What a visit looks like
Your child stays with you. Most infants are adjusted while being held, feeding, or asleep. There is no twisting, no popping and no sudden movement.
Many parents are surprised by how little there is to see. The work is specific and small — that is the point.
Parents often book for themselves at the same visit. If you are still recovering from birth, postpartum care addresses the feeding and carrying load directly; if you are expecting again, prenatal care uses the Webster Technique.

What patients say
“Dr. Morgan is absolutely incredible. My 2 year old son has been seeing her since he was a newborn and she has saved us from having a lip tie revision done and tubes! She is so knowledgeable and wonderful, my son absolutely adores her!”
“We had an incredible experience with Dr. Morgan at Continuum Chiropractic. Our newborn was dealing with noticeable discomfort, and as new parents, we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. Dr. Morgan was not only gentle and…”
“Dr. Morgan is the BEST! My daughter has been seeing her for 3 years and I have been going for two. She is thorough, understands her patients needs and explains so well! And she makes the visits fun.”
Is chiropractic care safe for my newborn or baby?
Yes. Care for an infant is completely different from an adult adjustment — there is no twisting, no popping and no sudden movement. The pressure used is roughly what you would apply to your own closed eyelid, or to test whether a tomato is ripe. Most babies sleep or feed straight through it.
How early can a child begin chiropractic care?
Days old. Birth is physically demanding for a baby even when everything goes smoothly, and early gentle care helps release the tension that can follow. Starting early also means a growing body has less chance to build compensation patterns around a restriction.
What can pediatric chiropractic care help with?
Families most often come in for latching or feeding difficulty, a strong head-turning preference, colic and reflux, unsettled sleep, recurrent ear infections, constipation, and support through crawling, walking and other motor milestones. Care supports the nervous system so the body can regulate and develop as it is designed to.
What does an adjustment actually feel like?
For adults, usually a brief pressure and sometimes an audible release, followed by a sense of things moving more freely. For babies and children, it is light sustained contact — most parents are surprised by how little there is to see. Nothing is done without explaining it first.
