What Every Parent Should Know About Kids’ Neck Pain and Headaches

What if your child’s headaches or neck pain weren’t just something they’d grow out of?

I know from personal experience that sometimes those symptoms point to something deeper—something happening in the spine.

In this video, I share the story of a young boy who was living with severe headaches and neck pain after what most would call a minor fall. No ER visit, no dramatic injury—yet over time, his symptoms got worse instead of better.

When his spine was imaged, the results showed a major change in the natural curve of his neck. That might sound technical, but the takeaway is simple: the way his spine was aligned could directly impact his nerves, muscles, and even how his brain communicates with his body.

Instead of waiting for him to “grow out of it,” his care plan involved a specific approach designed to restore his spinal curve—not just mask the pain. It combined targeted posture work, gentle adjustments, and a unique form of traction created for kids.

The changes that followed were remarkable. And even more importantly, they lasted well beyond the initial care period.

Why am I sharing this? Because kids’ spines matter just as much as adults’, and sometimes the cause of ongoing headaches or stiffness isn’t what we assume. Too often, these signs are brushed off as screen time fatigue or growing pains, when they could be a signal that the spine needs help.

If caught early, these issues can often be corrected—leading to better function now and healthier movement long term.

Watch the full video to see how this case unfolded, what made the difference, and why it might change how you think about your child’s posture and spinal health.
