From newborns to student-athletes, we provide age-appropriate chiropractic care for Boulder's youth. Our gentle techniques address common developmental concerns like torticollis, breastfeeding difficulties, and growing pains.
For school-aged children, we focus on posture correction from heavy backpacks and screen time. Teen athletes receive specialized care to support their participation in Boulder's competitive sports programs while preventing overuse injuries.
Adjustments for children use fingertip pressure or specialized instruments - never the forceful techniques used with adults. Most pediatric visits incorporate movement assessments and simple exercises to reinforce improvements.
We coordinate with local pediatricians and school athletic trainers to ensure comprehensive care. Many Boulder parents bring their children in for seasonal check-ups to address growth spurts and activity changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can children start chiropractic care?
We see patients from birth through adolescence. Newborn adjustments are extremely gentle and often help with delivery-related tension or common issues like difficulty latching.
How do you adjust wiggly toddlers?
We incorporate play-based techniques and use very light pressure. Most toddler adjustments happen while they're sitting on a parent's lap or engaged with toys we keep in our Boulder practice.
