Pediatric Chiropractor in Denver | Gentle Chiropractic for Babies & Kids
Chiropractic Services
At InnerLux Healing Collective, we know that birth and early childhood can put stress on a child's spine and nervous system. Pediatric chiropractic care gently removes interference, helping the brain and body communicate efficiently, supporting healthy growth, development, and overall well-being.
By addressing misalignments early, we help prevent future issues and set the stage for a strong foundation of lifelong health. Caring for kids today means nurturing healthier, happier adults tomorrow.
Did You Know?
During delivery, upwards of 50+ lbs of pressure may be applied to a baby's neck and spine — enough pressure to produce spinal damage. The upper neck protects and houses the brainstem, which contains millions of neurons.
What Is Pediatric Chiropractic Care?
Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on optimizing nervous system function during key stages of growth and development. Because your nervous system controls movement, digestion, sleep, focus, and emotional regulation, even small imbalances can have a big impact on a growing body.
Chiropractic for children looks very different from adults in that adjustments are extremely gentle and precise.
What to Expect at Your Child's Chiropractic Visit
At the initial visit, we perform a comprehensive evaluation and non-invasive analyses to monitor adaptability and/or structure. Additionally, X-rays will be taken as needed for those 7 and older or children with a history of significant injury.
Future visits include gentle chiropractic adjustments that are tailored to your child's age and comfort, often using an Activator® tool or light manual pressure to optimize nervous system function — without twisting, popping, or cracking. As children grow and their skeletal maturity allows, manual adjustments may be introduced.
Why Pediatric Chiropractic Matters
Pediatric chiropractic can support a variety of needs including:
Addressing falls, slips, and sports injuries
Balancing and regulating mood and anxiety
Enhancing concentration and memory
Facilitating milestone achievements
Fostering normal growth and development
Improving digestion and sleep
Preventing scoliosis
Reducing symptoms associated with ADD and ADHD
And more…
Decades of research have demonstrated the benefits of pediatric chiropractic care. Refer to the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) website for an extensive collection of information including research studies, chiropractic case reports, and other published papers demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic care for children.
Some of our favorite pediatric success stories involve children with ear infections, ADHD, and developmental delays. Chiropractic care has helped these kids improve their health, reduce medication dependency, and reach their developmental milestones.
Doctor Philosophy
Compassionate pediatric chiropractic care to help your child thrive.
Our doctors' dedication to pediatric wellness comes from personal experience — they were introduced to chiropractic care early in life and learned that true health goes beyond medication or surgery. This inspired their whole-body approach and led them to advanced training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Dr. Courtney is certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP), and Dr. Taylor is in the final stage of her certification. Both are also trained in the Webster Technique for pregnancy, making them trusted pediatric chiropractors in Denver and a go-to choice for chiropractic care for pediatrics.
