Pediatric Chiropractic Care in Boise, Idaho
Growing bodies need gentle care. We help Boise kids with posture, sports strain, and growing pains. We've helped hundreds of local kids from the North End to the Bench. We check in on their progress a lot. Finding problems early can make a big difference. We've seen how proud kids feel once they stand taller.
Warning Signs
When Your Child May Need Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Kids fall off bikes on the Greenbelt. They hunch over desks at school. They carry heavy backpacks every day. These small things add up over time. If your child has back pain, headaches, or stiff posture, it's worth a look. Back-to-school season often brings more youth sports injuries from local football and soccer leagues. Studies show chiropractic care can help kids' spines grow strong when it's done gently and the right way.[1] We don't wait for pain to get worse. We look at the cause early. Last month we saw a boy from a Meridian school with a backpack way too heavy for him. His mom had no idea it was hurting his back. Here's a fact most parents don't know: small aches often point to bigger problems. In our experience, parents feel relief just from getting answers.

Our methods fit a child's smaller frame.
Common Cases
Sports Injuries
Youth soccer and football bring strains and sprains every fall. We check for misalignment before it gets worse. We see this a lot during fall league season at local fields.
Backpack Strain
Heavy backpacks can pull young spines out of place. We catch this early and fix it. A common mistake is wearing the bag on one shoulder.
Posture Problems
Hours at a desk or on a tablet can cause slouching. We help kids sit and stand taller. Parents are often surprised how fast posture changes.
Growing Pains
Growth spurts can cause joint and muscle aches. Gentle adjustments can ease the pain. Most kids feel better within a few visits.
Headaches
Tension headaches in kids often come from neck and back stress. We find the root cause instead of just treating the pain.
Fall & Bike Injuries
Greenbelt bike spills and playground falls can jolt a child's spine. We check for hidden misalignment, even when a kid feels fine. Kids often hide pain, so we look closely anyway.

I’ve been a patient at Dr. Henze’s for 27 years.
Even though I had to have back surgery 15 years into it, he has helped me tremendously healing afterwards and continued maintenance.

I started going to Dr Henze after experiencing extreme pain in my neck and upper back. He was able to adjust me, at first a few times a week and then gradually weaning off to more of a maintenance routine. I went from a pain scale of constantly being in a 7+ (out of 10) or above, down to a 1 or zero most days. You can tell he is very experienced. The office and staff are also wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Parent Questions
Pediatric Chiropractic Care Questions
Here are answers to questions we hear most from Boise parents.
-
How much does kids' chiropractic care cost?
Cost depends on your child's needs and how many visits they need. Our $99 New Patient Special covers the exam, X-rays, and first treatment. We always explain pricing before we start. No parent should feel surprised by a bill.
-
How long does a visit take?
A first visit usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Follow-up visits are shorter, often 15 to 20 minutes. We never rush your child through care.
-
Should I try home stretches or see a chiropractor?
Home stretches can help mild soreness. But if pain lasts more than a few days, see a pro. We find issues stretching alone can't fix. We'd rather check early than guess later.
-
How often should kids get adjustments?
It depends on the issue and how active your child is. Kids in Boise sports leagues may need more visits. We build a plan based on progress, not guesswork.
-
Is back pain in kids a big deal?
Back pain in kids shouldn't be ignored for long. Waiting can let small issues turn into big ones. Get it checked within a week or two. We've seen small aches grow big fast.
-
What signs mean my child needs a chiropractor?
Watch for uneven shoulders, lots of headaches, or trouble sitting still. Limping or favoring one side is another sign. We check for these at every exam. Trust your gut if something seems off.
-
Is chiropractic care safe for young kids?
Yes, when a trained chiropractor uses gentle methods. We adjust our technique for a child's smaller frame. Dr. Henze has treated kids safely for 30 years in Boise.
