PEDIATRIC CHIROPRACTOR IN BOULDER, CO

Gentle, nervous system-centered chiropractic care for newborns, babies, kids, and teens — supporting your child's health and development at every stage.

Why Pediatric Chiropractic?

Children aren't just small adults — and pediatric chiropractic isn't just a gentler version of what we do for grown-ups. It's a completely different approach, designed specifically for developing bodies and growing nervous systems.

Your child's nervous system is the master control center for everything: how they sleep, digest food, regulate emotions, hit milestones, fight off illness, and adapt to the world around them. When that system is balanced and communicating clearly, children have the foundation they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

But life creates stress on little bodies. The birth process itself — whether vaginal, cesarean, or involving interventions — places significant pressure on your baby's spine and nervous system. As children grow, falls, tumbles, heavy backpacks, screen time, sports, and even emotional stress can create tension patterns that affect how they feel and function.

Pediatric chiropractic care gently removes this interference, allowing your child's nervous system to do what it's designed to do: adapt, regulate, and support healthy development from the inside out.

What Makes Pediatric Chiropractic Different

If you're picturing the adjustments adults receive, you can let that image go. Pediatric chiropractic looks and feels completely different.

It's incredibly gentle. We use light fingertip pressure and cranial techniques. For babies, we're talking about the same amount of pressure you'd use to test whether a tomato is ripe. There's no cracking, no twisting, no sudden movements.

We meet children where they are. Babies are often adjusted while nursing or sleeping in a parent's arms. Toddlers might be adjusted while playing or sitting on mom or dad's lap. Older kids and teens receive care that's tailored to their growing bodies and activity levels.

Pediatric chiropractic with Evol.v is designed for developing systems. Children's spines are more cartilaginous and flexible than adult spines. Their nervous systems are rapidly developing. Pediatric techniques honor this — supporting growth rather than forcing change.

When Should Kids See a Pediatric Chiropractor?

One of the most common questions we hear is: "When should I bring my child in?"

The truth is, there's no wrong time to start. Many families bring their newborns in within the first days or weeks of life for a gentle nervous system check — especially after a difficult birth or when feeding, sleeping, or comfort challenges arise. Others discover pediatric chiropractic when their child is struggling with something specific, like recurring ear infections, digestive issues, or trouble hitting milestones.

And many families come simply because they want to give their children the best foundation possible — even when nothing is obviously "wrong."

Pediatric chiropractic isn't just for problems. A well-functioning nervous system supports your child's immune response, sleep quality, emotional regulation, focus, coordination, and overall resilience. Many parents notice their kids get sick less often, sleep more soundly, and handle stress with more ease once they begin care.

Whether your child is a newborn, a busy toddler, an active school-age kid, or a teenager navigating growth spurts and sports, there's a place for them here at Evol.v.

Care for Every Age and Stage

We see children at every point in their development, and we've structured our care to meet each stage:

Newborns, Babies & Toddlers

The early years lay the foundation for everything that follows. We support babies with feeding challenges, colic, reflux, torticollis, sleep difficulties, and developmental milestones — plus post-frenectomy care for tongue and lip ties.

Our adjustments for little ones are so gentle that most babies relax right into it. Many fall asleep mid-adjustment.

Kids & Teens

As children grow, their bodies face new demands: sports, heavy backpacks, screens, growth spurts, and the physical and emotional stress of adolescence. We help kids and teens stay aligned, recover from injuries, improve posture and performance, and build resilience for whatever life throws at them.

Older kids often tell us they actually look forward to their adjustments — and that says everything about how we approach care.

What Parents Want to Know

Is chiropractic safe for babies and children?

Yes. When performed by a trained pediatric chiropractor, adjustments are extremely safe. We use only gentle fingertip pressure — no cracking, no twisting. Both Dr. Gary and Dr. Navit are trained through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and see children of all ages every day.

Will it hurt my child?

No. Pediatric adjustments are gentle and comfortable. Most babies relax or fall asleep during their visit, and kids often look forward to coming in. We take extra time to make sure every child feels safe, comfortable, and at home in our care — so adjustments become something they actually enjoy.

Does my child need chiropractic if nothing seems wrong?

Chiropractic care isn't just for fixing problems — it's for optimizing function. A well-regulated nervous system supports better sleep, stronger immunity, easier digestion, improved focus, and greater emotional resilience. Many families use pediatric chiropractic as part of their proactive approach to wellness, even when their child seems perfectly healthy.

How is pediatric chiropractic different from adult care?

Pediatric techniques are specifically designed for developing bodies. We use far less pressure, different hand positions, and approaches that honor how children's spines and nervous systems grow. It's gentle, playful, and tailored to each child's age and comfort level.

How often should my child be adjusted?

Every child is different. Some see improvement in just a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing wellness care. We'll create a personalized plan based on your child's needs, and we'll always be honest about what we recommend and why.

Your Child's First Visit

When you bring your child to Evol.v, here's what to expect:

We'll start with a thorough conversation — your child's birth story, health history, current concerns, and what you're hoping to achieve. Then we'll do a gentle assessment to understand how their spine and nervous system are functioning.

If we find areas that could benefit from care, we'll explain exactly what we see and recommend a personalized plan. For little ones, the first adjustment often happens that same visit. For older kids, we take whatever time they need to feel comfortable.

We also collaborate with pediatricians, lactation consultants, occupational therapists, and other providers to make sure your child receives comprehensive, coordinated care.
