Master the Pediatric Case: Move Beyond the Adjustment to Solve Complex Developmental Challenges
Little Spines is a complete system to evaluate, understand and care for the pediatric patients with the correct adjustment and beyond.
You’re doing everything you’ve been taught… but something isn’t adding up.
You’re adjusting.
You’re doing your best.
But…
- the baby isn’t progressing like you expected
- the same issues keep coming back
- milestones are delayedÂ
- behavior or regulation isn’t improving
- you feel like there’s something you’re missing
And no one ever really taught you what to look for next.
From the Adjustment to the Whole Child: The Story of Little Spines
Hi, I'm Dr. Nancy Elwartowski, founder of LITTLE spines
The Foundation
I grew up in a chiropractic family where the power of the adjustment wasn't just a theory—it was our way of life. For decades, I’ve operated one of the busiest pediatric practices in Indiana, witnessing thousands of miracles through the hands-on care of the spine.
The Turning Point
Even with years of clinical experience, my perspective shifted profoundly when I became a mother. I found myself in the same position many of you are in today: adjusting a child who wasn't progressing as expected. My daughter was struggling, and despite my best adjustments, the "gaps" in her development remained. That’s when I realized that for the modern child, the adjustment is often the catalyst, but the neurology, biochemistry, and environment are the fuel.
Why I Created Little Spines
I spent the next several years obsessively studying neurodevelopment, functional medicine, and primitive reflex integration to find the "missing pieces" for my daughter and my patients.
Little Spines is the result of that journey. It is a mentor-led roadmap designed for the chiropractor who:
-
Wants to move beyond "wait and see" for developmental delays.
-
Seeks a systematized way to evaluate the "Tough Cases" (colic, sensory processing, neuro-deficits).
-
Desires to lead their community as the definitive expert in pediatric wellness.
My Mission
My goal isn't just to teach you another technique. It’s to provide you with a 4-Pillar Framework—Pediatric Chiropractic, Neurodevelopment, Functional Medicine, and Lifestyle—so you can stop feeling stuck and start seeing the results your patients deserve.
The LITTLEÂ spines 4-Pillar Framework
Because real pediatric care requires more than one approach.
Pillar 1: The Technique
Optimizing the nervous system and foundational function.
Pillar 2: The Neurology
Understanding movement, milestones, and reflexes
Pillar 3: The Biochemistry
Addressing gut health, inflammation, genetics and immune function
Pillar 4: The Communication
How to talk to parents about nutrition, environment, and lifestyle.
This isn’t just another course.
LITTLE spines is your starting point—and your roadmap.
You don’t need to know everything.
👉 You need to know what to look for—and where to go next.
