Pediatric Chiropractor for Children in Longmont

Infants and children can gain great benefit through pediatric chiropractic care by helping to keep them healthy and free of pain. A chiropractic adjustment on a child involves significantly lighter touch than on an adult since kids typically do not have the muscle tension adults do.

Pediatric ChiropractorLike an adult, a child’s vertebrae can become misaligned either through birth trauma, a sports injury, hours of sitting in class or an accident. When a vertebra is misaligned, it can put pressure on the spinal nerves blocking proper communication between the body and the brain. When the nervous system is not working properly, it can result in many symptoms ranging from pain to asthma, difficulty focusing, or trouble sleeping through the night.

Often times, kids are not able to express where or how they hurt, if they recognize they hurt at all. A chiropractic adjustment on a child uses an extremely light touch to realign the vertebrae thus unblocking the nervous system and relieving pain and symptoms.
