Pediatric Chiropractic in Denver
When your child is uncomfortable, not sleeping well, or complaining of aches and pains, the whole family feels it. At Little Mountain Chiropractic & Wellness, pediatric chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and reassuring for both kids and parents. From newborns with head-turning issues to older children dealing with posture strain or “tech neck,” we focus on addressing the root cause so your child can move and feel better. Families from across Denver trust Dr. Coleman Pannell and our team for thoughtful, age-appropriate care.
Gentle, Age-Appropriate Care for Babies and Kids
Pediatric chiropractic is very different from adult care and is always tailored to your child’s age, size, and needs. For infants and young children, Dr. Pannell typically uses light-force instruments that deliver small, precise adjustments to reduce tension and improve alignment. As children reach ages 6 or 7, gentle manual adjustments may be considered, if clinically appropriate, and always with your consent. Our goal is to support healthy growth, movement, and posture in a way that feels comfortable and stress-free for your little one.
Common Pediatric Concerns We Help With
Many parents are surprised by how many childhood issues have a mechanical or postural component that responds well to conservative care. We often see:
- Newborn torticollis and head preference to one side
- Posture problems and rounded shoulders
- “Tech neck” from phones, tablets, and gaming
- Back and shoulder pain from heavy backpacks
Most children respond quickly once their bodies are moving and aligning more normally. If we determine that chiropractic care is not the best option, we will be upfront and refer you to the appropriate specialist.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Visits
Every child’s appointment begins with a consultation and exam to understand their history, daily activities, and specific concerns. We then schedule a separate visit to review the findings, explain our observations, and outline clear goals and recommendations. You’ll always know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how we will measure progress. Many pediatric cases require fewer visits than adults, and parents often notice improvements sooner than expected.
