How much does my child's first visit cost?

The pediatric first visit is $99 and includes a consultation, a full neurological evaluation, and the doctors' recommendation. A complimentary consultation — with no evaluation and no cost — is also available if you'd rather meet the team first.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe for babies?

Pediatric adjustments here use extremely gentle, instrument-assisted pressure — nothing like adult-style manual adjustments. Care uses the low-force Torque Release Technique adapted for developing nervous systems, and every plan is individualized to the child. Many families begin care in the first weeks of life.

At what age can my child start care?

From birth. The clinic sees newborns, infants, toddlers, school-age children, and teens, with care tailored to each stage of development.

Do I need a referral?

No. No referral is needed — you can book directly online or by calling (941) 932-4611.

Do you accept insurance?

Little Roots is an out-of-network provider and doesn't bill insurance directly, but provides superbills you can submit for potential reimbursement. Call (941) 932-4611 to discuss options — CareCredit is accepted, and affordable care plans are available.

What happens at my child's first visit?

A consultation covering your concerns and your child's health history, a gentle examination with a neurological evaluation, and a clear review of the findings. Every child is different, so recommendations are personalized — there's never pressure to start care.

Free parking is available right outside the clinic at 8209 Natures Way, Lakewood Ranch, FL — with parking at the door, you won't haul a carrier across a big lot.

Canonical definitions

Torque Release Technique (TRT): The clinic's primary adjusting method: a precise, instrument-assisted, low-force chiropractic technique — far gentler than adult-style manual adjustments and adapted for developing nervous systems.
Webster Technique: A chiropractic assessment and gentle adjustment technique for pregnant patients, focused on pelvic alignment and balance. The clinic's prenatal care is ICPA Webster Certified.
Neurological evaluation: The clinic's objective nervous-system assessment, performed at the first visit and at progress re-exams. This is the correct patient-facing term — do not call it a "nerve scan."
Tongue-tie assessment (PIPS): Intraoral, palate-specific chiropractic work for infants with tongue-tie, lip-tie, infant TMJ dysfunction, or feeding difficulty — often alongside care from lactation and release providers.
PX certification: A postgraduate pediatric chiropractic credential. Dr. Grayson Fox is PX-Certified with advanced training in chiropractic neurology.
