Our Story

From a vision to a sanctuary.

Little Roots didn't start with a business plan. It started with a calling — to create a space where babies and children receive the gentle, proactive care their developing nervous systems deserve.

The Swaims' Journey

Drs. Logan and Laura Swaim co-founded The Roots Health Centers together — husband and wife, both Doctors of Chiropractic from Life University, both driven by the same conviction: that the nervous system controls everything, and when it's clear, the body heals itself.

Dr. Laura became ICPA Webster Technique Certified early in her career, drawn to the families whose children were struggling and whose expectant mothers needed gentler, more specific care than what most offices could provide. As more families came through their doors, it became clear the pediatric and prenatal side of the practice deserved its own home — and Little Roots was born.

Why Pediatric Chiropractic?

The birth process — even a smooth, uncomplicated one — places tremendous stress on a newborn's spine and nervous system. When birth interventions like C-sections, vacuum extraction, or forceps are involved, that stress multiplies.

The result? Subtle nervous system interference that can manifest as feeding difficulties, colic, reflux, poor sleep, and later as behavioral or developmental challenges. Most parents don't know that these issues often have a neurological component — and that gentle chiropractic care can help.

The Swaims saw too many families bouncing between specialists, trying medication after medication, without anyone looking at the nervous system. They wanted to offer a different path — one rooted in understanding, data, and the body's innate ability to heal.

The Vision for Little Roots

Little Roots was designed to be more than a clinic. It's a nurturing wing — a warm, welcoming space where parents feel heard and children feel safe. Where the assessment is gentle, the technology is advanced, and the care plan is built around your child's unique nervous system.

As the pediatric and prenatal wing of The Roots Health Centers, Little Roots benefits from the same evidence-based approach, CLA INSiGHT scanning technology, and commitment to corrective care that has served over 2,800 families. But with a focus on the littlest members of those families.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, navigating colic with a newborn, or seeking support for your toddler — Little Roots is here to walk beside you. Because when the nervous system is supported, children don't just survive. They thrive.
