CACCP-Certified Baby & Infant Chiropractor in Land O' Lakes
Baby & Infant Chiropractor in Land O' Lakes
Dr. Crystal Corona, CACCP, is Land O' Lakes' certified baby chiropractor, offering feather-light, specialized care for newborns and infants, with gentle care for older kids too.
When Something Feels Off With Your Baby
Your newborn won't stop crying. Feedings are a struggle and latching just isn't working. Your baby seems to favor turning their head to one side, arches their back during feeds, or spits up after nearly every bottle. Many parents arrive at our Land O' Lakes office after weeks of sleepless nights and being told it's "just colic" or "normal for a newborn."
What Is Baby & Infant Chiropractic Care?
Baby chiropractic is gentle, specialized care for a newborn's spine and developing nervous system. Unlike adult chiropractic, the techniques used for infants involve no twisting, no cracking sounds, and no high-velocity movement. The amount of force applied to a baby's spine is no more than the gentle pressure of a fingertip, roughly what you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato.
Dr. Crystal Corona holds the CACCP designation, an advanced post-graduate certification from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics earned through extensive study focused specifically on caring for babies, infants, and expecting mothers. While she also cares for older kids and teens, her heart and training are centered on your littlest ones.
The CACCP Certification & Why It Matters for Your Baby
Dr. Crystal Corona is the only CACCP-certified chiropractor in Land O' Lakes, a credential built specifically around the care of babies and infants. CACCP, which stands for Certified by the Academy Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics, requires completion of 20 courses, a minimum of 200 hours of advanced postgraduate training focused on pediatric and infant care, plus a comprehensive written exam. It is a distinct and separate credential from Webster Certification and cannot be earned through a single weekend course. For parents of a newborn, it means your baby is in the hands of a chiropractor who trained specifically to care for the smallest, most delicate spines.
It is also worth understanding the difference between Webster certified and Webster trained. Webster Certification requires active, ongoing ICPA membership to remain valid. Without it, a chiropractor may say they are Webster trained, meaning they completed the coursework at some point, but they are no longer certified. For families, it is worth asking whether a provider's certification is current and active.
Dr. Crystal's certifications can be verified on the ICPA registry at icpa4kids.com. For the full certification breakdown, see our pregnancy chiropractic page.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and newborns?
Yes, when performed by a certified specialist. Baby chiropractic uses feather-light, low-force techniques that are completely different from adult adjustments. For a newborn, the pressure is no more than what you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato.
How early can a newborn see a chiropractor?
Newborns can be seen in their very first days of life. Birth, even a smooth delivery, places significant force on an infant's delicate neck and spine, and many families come in within the first weeks.
What baby and infant issues does Dr. Corona help with?
Dr. Corona specializes in infants and commonly works with babies experiencing colic, reflux, difficulty latching or breastfeeding, torticollis, a flattened head, trouble sleeping, and fussiness or discomfort turning the head to one side.
What is a CACCP-certified baby chiropractor?
CACCP stands for Certified by the Academy Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. It is an advanced credential focused specifically on caring for babies, infants, and expecting mothers. Dr. Corona is the only CACCP-certified chiropractor in Land O' Lakes.
How is a baby's adjustment different from an adult's?
There is no twisting, no cracking, and no high-velocity movement. For infants, the technique feels more like a gentle massage than a traditional adjustment, using only fingertip pressure.
