Unlocking Your Child’s Potential with ProBalance KIDz and ProAdjuster KIDz


AS PARENTS, WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN to help our children grow up strong, confident, and healthy. We make sure they get proper nutrition, attend regular check-ups, and excel in school. But what if there’s a crucial piece of your child’s development that often gets overlooked—something that impacts their focus, coordination, immune function, and even emotional regulation?

That missing piece might be balance and spinal health.

While most people think of chiropractic care as something for adults in pain, more and more research is showing the profound benefits it can offer children—especially when combined with targeted balance and cognitive therapy. The spine is home to the nervous system, which controls every aspect of your child’s body and brain. When alignment is off, or when balance systems aren’t fully developed, it can affect everything from sleep and behavior to learning and motor skills.

In this special interview, Dr. Frank A. Corbo (FC) sits down with Dr. Moe Pisciottano (MP) developer of the Pro Adjuster KIDz and ProBalance KIDz technologies, to explore how advanced, non-invasive therapies are helping children thrive— academically, physically, and emotionally. You’ll learn how gentle, computerized chiropractic adjustments and fun balance activities can provide your patients with an edge that lasts a lifetime.

FC: You’ve been a pioneer in developing technologies like ProAdjuster KIDz and ProBalance KIDz. Why should parents think about chiropractic care, balance, and cognitive development for their kids—even if their child doesn’t appear to have any issues?

MP: Thanks for having me, Frank. You know, one of the biggest misconceptions out there is that chiropractic care is only for adults with back pain. The truth is, chiropractic care for kids is really about supporting their overall development—physically, neurologically, and even cognitively.

The spine houses the nervous system, which controls every function in the body. When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with how the brain and body communicate, which can show up as subtle challenges: poor focus, coordination issues, immune weaknesses, or behavioral concerns.

And balance—balance is a window into brain function. Research shows that improving balance can directly enhance a child’s attention, working memory, and even emotional control. So by combining chiropractic care and balance-based therapy, we’re giving kids a really powerful foundation.

FC: I love that It shifts the conversation from “treating problems” to preventing problems and optimizing potential. Can you explain how balance training ties into brain development?

MP: Absolutely. The cerebellum, which controls balance and coordination, is also deeply involved in executive functions like focus, problem-solving, and memory. There’s a 2019 study in Frontiers in Psychology showing that kids who did balance exercises had significant improvements in working memory and cognitive flexibility. And another study in Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment linked balance challenges to reduced cognitive control, especially in children with ADHD.

“That tells us balance is about more than movement—it’s a brain training tool.”

That tells us balance is about more than movement—it’s a brain training tool. By improving balance, we’re strengthening the neurological pathways responsible for attention, emotional regulation, and learning.

FC: That’s powerful. So how does ProBalance KIDz leverage that science to help kids?

MP: ProBalance KIDz uses technology that evaluates a child’s balance, coordination, and proprioception in a fun, interactive way. Once we assess their abilities, the system guides them through personalized balance activities designed to activate the cerebellum and vestibular system. The result? Stronger brain-body communication, better attention span, and improved coordination.

We’ve seen kids go from struggling to sit still in school to focusing for longer periods. Some parents report improvements in reading and math performance, because when you support the brain’s balance systems, you also support cognitive processes tied to learning.

FC: And what about the ProAdjuster KIDz? How does it fit into this approach?

MP: Great question. ProAdjuster KIDz is an advanced chiropractic tool designed specifically for pediatric care. It delivers gentle, precise, computerized adjustments to restore motion and alignment in the spine—without twisting, popping, or cracking. It’s really comfortable for kids, and it gives us consistent, safe results.

We know from research that a wellaligned spine reduces interference in the nervous system, improving how the brain and body communicate. A healthy nervous system supports everything from immune function and digestion to behavior and sleep quality. For kids dealing with colic, ear infections, asthma, bed-wetting, or digestive issues, chiropractic adjustments can be life-changing.

FC: So between ProAdjuster KIDz and ProBalance KIDz, you’re addressing both the structural and neurological foundations of a child’s development?

MP: Exactly. It’s a two-pronged approach. ProAdjuster KIDz helps optimize the physical structure of the spine and nervous system, while ProBalance KIDz strengthens neurological and cognitive pathways through balance-based therapy. Together, they create a synergistic effect that promotes physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.

FC: Parents might wonder: “If my child isn’t in pain or having visible issues, why would they need this?”

MP: That’s one of the most common questions I get, and it’s completely valid. I always say: prevention is key. Just like you wouldn’t wait for your child to fail a vision test before checking their eyesight, you shouldn’t wait for developmental or behavioral challenges before evaluating their spine and neurological health.

Subtle misalignments in the spine, called subluxations, can interfere with nerve signals long before pain shows up. And mild balance or coordination challenges might be underlying attention difficulties. By proactively identifying and addressing these things early, we’re helping kids reach their full potential— academically, athletically, and socially.

FC: Are there research findings supporting the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for kids?

MP: Definitely. A 2020 scoping review in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics looked at treatment frequency and dosage in chiropractic care and found that chiropractic adjustments are safe and beneficial for children. Another study published in Spine showed that high-frequency, instrument-assisted adjustments were more effective at improving function and reducing pain than manual adjustments.


ProAdjuster KIDz

A computerized instrument that delivers safe, gentle chiropractic adjustments without twisting or cracking. Ideal for children, it uses soft, pulsed technology to restore spinal alignment with precision.


ProBalance KIDz

That’s why tools like ProAdjuster KIDz are so valuable—they deliver consistent, gentle adjustments tailored to a child’s growing body, reducing risks and improving outcomes. Parents can feel confident knowing their child’s care is both safe and research-supported.

FC: I love how technology is making chiropractic care even more accessible and precise. What’s the evaluation process like for families interested in these services?

MP: It’s simple, safe, and even fun for the kids! We start with a comprehensive assessment using ProAdjuster KIDz and ProBalance KIDz technology. The evaluation checks spinal aligmnent, balance, coordination, and neurological function. Parents get a clear, detailed report explaining where their child is thriving and where they may benefit from support.

From there, we create a personalized plan with chiropractic adjustments, balance exercises, and cognitive games— sometimes with at-home activities too. Kids feel empowered because they’re actively participating in their own wellness journey.

FC: Any final advice for chiropractors reading this?

MP: Just this: every child deserves to function at their highest level, not just “get by.” By supporting their spine, nervous system, and balance early on, you’re setting the stage for lifelong health, better focus, emotional resilience, and confidence. Whether your child’s excelling or facing challenges, they deserve every advantage we can give them.

FC: Dr. Moe, thank you so much for sharing your insights and for your dedication to helping children thrive.

MP: Thanks, Frank. It’s an honor to partner with families in building healthy futures.
