Pediatric Chiropractic with John McAtamney DC
Dr. Mac loves taking care of children, getting rid of their pain, and correcting their issues, so they can grow and thrive. As a chiropractor, he deals with the nerve interference that causes subluxations, pain, and dysfunction in the child. After locating the source of the problem and analyzing it, he determines the best way to correct it naturally.

Starting Life With Optimal Health
Dr. Mac is seeing more children with issues like plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, ADHD, and autism than in previous years. Recent autism statistics show it’s 1 in every 54 children. He is dedicated to making sure these children receive the benefits of pediatric care and that the parents have access to other providers who are dedicated to caring for these kids with special needs.
Bringing your child in as early as possible allows Dr. Mac to check them for any signs of trauma or stress on their nervous system and address it. If nothing is wrong, he’ll give them a kiss on the head and say “God bless you, see you in a month or two.”
Chiropractic is natural, safe, and gentle health care for newborns and children. Regular care ensures your child stays healthy, hits their milestones, and enjoys optimal health.
How We Help You
Dr. Mac has advanced certification in Pregnancy, Family, and Children’s Care, CACCP, from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). When you bring your child in, we’ll do a posture scan, an applied kinesiology scan, and other specific chiropractic tests to locate the problem. He shows the parent how stress affects the child, and what he needs to do to correct it.
Dr. Mac uses different techniques on babies and children. There’s never any cracking, twisting, or popping. He uses very gentle techniques, usually sustained contact. Children respond quickly and heal faster than adults, because they haven’t lived long enough to develop long term negative patterns. Children also have a stronger healing potential simply because they’re kids!!
