Gentle Care for Growing Bodies
Give your child a strong, healthy start with gentle chiropractic care.
When Your Child Can't Sleep,
Nobody Sleeps
Consider a 4-month-old crying for hours despite her parents trying everything—feeding, changing, rocking. Or imagine a 7-year-old complaining that his backpack hurts his neck after school.
These scenarios happen daily in Baltimore County homes. Parents wonder if their child’s discomfort is “normal” or needs attention. What many don’t realize is that gentle, effective solutions exist right here in our community.
At Carney Chiropractic Center, Dr. Lance Loomis understands that growing children face unique challenges. Our specialized pediatric approach addresses these issues before they impact your child’s development, sleep, or comfort.

Why Baltimore County Kids Need
Specialized Chiropractic Care
Growing up is physically demanding. From birth trauma to learning to walk, from heavy school backpacks to sports injuries — your child’s spine faces constant challenges.
We understand that most parents think chiropractic care is just for adults with back pain, but children’s developing bodies benefit tremendously from gentle spinal care.
Dr. Lance Loomis has been treating kids in the community for years, helping families throughout Parkville, Fullerton, Nottingham, and Carney. We use techniques so gentle that most babies fall asleep during treatment — about the same pressure you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe.

FAQs about Pediatric
Chiropractor
How accessible is your chiropractic center from Cockeysville and Hunt Valley?
We’re at 8109 Harford Road in Parkville, about 15 minutes south via York Road or I-83 to the Beltway. Hunt Valley and Cockeysville families find us much more convenient than pediatric specialists downtown, especially when you’re dealing with cranky toddlers who hate long car rides.
Do you accept insurance for pediatric chiropractic care?
We verify with your insurance directly. We also offer transparent pricing through Good Faith Estimates and provide access to discounted care with ChiroHealthUSA—a $49/year membership that covers your entire household. Many families also choose our auto-debit care plans for added savings. We’re happy to explain your options and help you plan your child’s care without surprises.
Can you see my baby during Baltimore County's harsh winter months?
Absolutely – we’re open year-round and understand that Maryland winters can make it tough to get out with little ones. Our Parkville location has plenty of close parking right by the entrance, so you won’t have to carry car seats through snow or ice. Plus, we keep the office nice and warm for those chilly February appointments.
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes, chiropractic care for children is extremely safe when performed by a trained and experienced provider. Dr. Loomis uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques specifically designed for growing bodies. Our goal is always to support your child’s development in a safe, comfortable environment.
Are there any Baltimore County health department requirements for pediatric chiropractic care?
Maryland state licensing covers our practice, and we exceed all Baltimore County health regulations for pediatric care. Dr. Loomis maintains his Maryland chiropractic license and has additional training in child-specific techniques. We follow all state guidelines for treating children, including proper documentation and parental consent protocols.
Is parking easy for families visiting your pediatric chiropractor near Parkville?
Yes, we have a dedicated parking lot right at 8109 Harford Road with spaces close to our entrance – no need to parallel park on busy Harford Road. The lot is well-lit and safe, which parents appreciate when bringing children for evening appointments during those short winter days.
How busy do pediatric chiropractors get in Baltimore County during back-to-school season?
We see an uptick in August and September as parents prepare kids for the new school year, especially for children with posture concerns caused by heavy backpacks at schools like Parkville Middle or Perry Hall High. We recommend booking back-to-school checkups in July to avoid the rush, particularly if your child plays fall sports in the Baltimore County school system.
Do you treat children from other Baltimore County areas like Perry Hall and White Marsh?
Of course! We see families from all over eastern Baltimore County, including Perry Hall, White Marsh, and even as far as Middle River. Our Harford Road location is pretty central for families coming from the I-95 corridor – just take Exit 67A and you’re here in minutes.
How can I prepare my nervous child for their first chiropractic appointment?
We recommend bringing a favorite toy or comfort item, and arriving a few minutes early so they can explore our kid-friendly office. Dr. Loomis always shows children exactly what he’s going to do first – often demonstrating on a parent or stuffed animal. Most kids are surprised by how gentle the adjustments feel and leave excited to come back.
How often do Baltimore County children need to see a pediatric chiropractor for maintenance care?
Most of our local families come in monthly or every 6-8 weeks for wellness checks once any initial issues are resolved. Maryland kids tend to be pretty active year-round – from summer camps to winter sports – so regular maintenance helps prevent problems before they start affecting sleep, behavior, or school performance.
