Gentle, Safe, and Effective Care for Kids
Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults—kids need chiropractic too! From birth trauma to everyday slips and falls, a child’s body undergoes constant growth and development, making gentle chiropractic adjustments essential for optimal nervous system function and movement.
At Mountain Movement Center, Dr. Day and his team provide specialized pediatric chiropractic care designed to support healthy development, comfort, and wellness for infants, toddlers, and growing children.
Why Do Kids Need Chiropractic?
It’s a common misconception that children don’t need chiropractic care because their bones and nervous systems are still developing. However, modern chiropractic research shows that gentle adjustments can help facilitate proper development and prevent issues caused by:
✔ Birth trauma & positioning in the womb
✔ Slips, falls, & early movement imbalances
✔ Proprioceptive confusion affecting coordination & mobility
✔ Tension-related symptoms like colic, fussiness, & torticollis
💬 “Dr. Day is also great with kids! My toddler has avoided ear infections, stayed healthier, and had fewer issues with fussiness thanks to his care.”
How Pediatric Chiropractic Works
Dr. Day is ICPA-certified in Cranial, Full Spine, and Webster Techniques, ensuring that every adjustment is gentle, precise, and safe for infants and children.
💡 Is it gentle?
✅ Yes! Pediatric adjustments use light pressure, similar to checking the ripeness of a tomato—never quick or forceful.
💡 Will it help my child?
✅ Many parents come to us after trying everything else with no success. We offer a free consultation to discuss your child’s specific needs.
💡 Will it hurt?
✅ No! In fact, many children sleep better and feel more relaxed after an adjustment. While some kids might fuss during treatment, it’s usually just from wanting to move—Dr. Day makes each session fun, engaging, and stress-free.
💡 How does it work?
✅ Chiropractic adjustments help restore gentle motion to muscles and joints, allowing the nervous system to function optimally. This helps kids reach important developmental milestones like crawling, sitting, and walking without restrictions or discomfort.
Conditions Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help With
✅ Colic & Fussiness – Helps relieve tension and nerve interference affecting digestion and comfort.
✅ Torticollis & Head Positioning Issues – Supports neck mobility and balance, allowing easier feeding and movement.
✅ Ear Infections – Chiropractic can optimize drainage pathways, reducing fluid buildup and discomfort.
✅ Trouble Sitting or Tolerating a Car Seat – Helps relax muscles and align the spine for improved comfort.
✅ Crawling, Tummy Time & Coordination Issues – Restores proper neurological signaling for smooth movement development.
✅ Sleep Difficulties – Supports nervous system balance, helping infants and toddlers sleep more peacefully.
Dr. Day’s Experience with Pediatric Chiropractic
Dr. Day has been treating pediatric cases for over 9 years, and his passion for helping children started with his own son.
“After birth, Kai struggled with breastfeeding and couldn’t lie comfortably in a car seat. After just a few gentle adjustments, he was finally able to rest, feed, and move without discomfort. That’s when I knew I needed to specialize in pediatric chiropractic care.”
Since then, Dr. Day has helped countless children with gentle, movement-based chiropractic care designed for healthy development, pain relief, and optimal function.
