Chiropractic for Kids in Aurora CO

Have you considered chiropractic for your kids in Aurora CO? At Colorado Injury & Pain Center we firmly believe in protecting a child’s body by making sure they have the best possible functioning nervous system. It is well known that children bounce back quickly, but that is related to how they feel; physically and structurally that is not always the case. Unfortunately, children do not always verbalize exactly what they feel when they are sore, uncomfortable, or in pain, but just like with adults, if the underlying cause is left alone for too long it will grow into a bigger problem. Chiropractic care for children can be very beneficial.

Starting from the time a child is conceived, their bodies are growing and being put under stress. While the child is growing, they are usually curled up in a ball, and then they are pushed and/or pulled during birth. I just ask that you just take a second and think about how you would feel if today you underwent that kind of experience. All of this stress and trauma affects our spine which can lead to issues with the nervous system. This is a problem because the nervous system is what controls everything our body does such as blinking, breathing, heartbeat, the ability to fight illness, walk, talk, think, speak, etc.

Pediatric Chiropractic Aurora CO

Chiropractic care can be helpful for your child's development. After development and birth, the physical stress and trauma continue when children grow into toddlers. They are faced with the developmental challenge of crawling and walking. While children are learning to overcome these challenges, there is a significant about of straining, twisting, and falling. While growth continues and the child starts to be at the age where they play with pets, friends, family, etc. they can again endure more physical stress and trauma. Generally, children in the preschool-middle school age play hard and try to play without limits.

As toddlers grow into kids, they often start to develop bad posture, start playing contact sports, wear heavier backpacks (most likely the wrong way), and deal with the stress of more daily responsibilities. As these kids start to become teenagers and high school graduates, they often become part of the workforce. Usually, they are jobs that require a lot of moving around and physical labor such as servers, factory workers, etc.

At Colorado Injury & Pain Center, we make a point to make sure that all the falls, stress, trauma, and physical demands that your children endure do not stop them from being kids. We love treating children of all ages. As a parent, you want to protect your child from pain and sickness as much as you can. We get that! Let us help you! Chiropractic care is all about protecting your body from harm. Our exams are extensive so even if your child is too young to communicate, or too shy, we will make sure we know exactly what is going on before proceeding with treatment. Not only that, we will make sure you know what is going on every step of the way.

Why Children Need Chiropractic Care

The spine undergoes significant stress from the earliest moments of life. The birth process itself — particularly difficult deliveries involving forceps, vacuum extraction, or prolonged pushing — can place significant compressive and torsional forces on the infant's cervical spine. As children grow, falls, sports participation, heavy backpacks, and increasing screen time create additional sources of spinal stress. Pediatric chiropractic care addresses these challenges with gentle, age-appropriate techniques.

What Parents Can Expect

We understand that parents can be understandably cautious about chiropractic care for their children. At Colorado Injury & Pain Center, we welcome your questions and take the time to explain every aspect of the evaluation and treatment before we proceed. Pediatric adjustments are performed with extremely gentle pressure — vastly different from adult chiropractic techniques. We never perform any procedure without the full understanding and consent of both parent and child.

Dr. Crifase evaluates each pediatric patient individually and recommends only the care that is clearly appropriate for that child's age and condition. Our goal is to be a trusted healthcare resource for Aurora families throughout every stage of life.
