Highlands Ranch Pediatric Chiropractic
Given their rough-and-tumble playing, jumping and falling, it’s no surprise that kids are constantly hurting themselves. The good news is, however, that they bounce back significantly faster than adults do. With natural chiropractic care, we can help children from infants to teens and all ages in between to thrive.
What to Expect
The main goal of the first visit is to build rapport with your child. Dr. Hicks is friendly and kind. He quickly helps put children at ease. When it comes time for your child’s exam, rest assured that our adjustments are gentle. Dr. Hicks uses a light-force instrument adjusting for most children under the age of 12. Your child won’t experience any popping or twisting.
Conditions That Chiropractic Can Address
While most people associate chiropractic with relieving back and neck pain, it’s highly effective in addressing common childhood conditions. These include
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Bedwetting
- Colic
- Recurrent ear infections
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Hyperactivity
- Oversensitivity
The Value of Wellness Care
Many children also benefit from wellness care or from having regular chiropractic checkups. Chiropractic helps to monitor a child’s growth development. We can look for any structural imbalances such as scoliosis or short legs. At Highlands Family Chiropractic, we offer complimentary screening for scoliosis.
Our Approach to Trauma
While conventional medical practitioners may advise parents of a concussed child to have their child go home and rest for 24 hours, we take a different approach. We teach the importance of what to do after a head injury. For example, avoiding lights and technology is essential. Chiropractic care also is highly helpful.
One young patient, who had fallen off a horse, was brought in for care. After receiving adjustments, the patient began to heal.
We have a robust referral network of head trauma specialists so we can ensure our young patients get the best possible care. Contact our practice today to schedule an appointment for pediatric chiropractic Highlands Ranch!
