About The Our Pediatric Chiropractors in Jefferson City, MO

Pediatric Chiropractic Care Is Essential

Children are constantly in a state of play and discovery, engaging themselves in various physical activities such as learning to walk, climbing, bicycling, or playing sports. They can experience anything from a child birth resulting in torticollis; stumbles or falls leading to joint pain and muscle tightness; or sports injuries resulting in sprain strains, joint or other muscle pains. These minor or major injuries can cause shifts in the child’s musculoskeletal system resulting in pain and interference with body function.


Not only do these shifts or misalignments effect their musculoskeletal system, but they potentially predispose them to sleeping problems, colds, ear infections, headaches, asthma, and much more. Pediatric chiropractic care is essential to correct these misalignments, which in turn helps reduce pain and improves function allowing the nervous system to communicate more freely with the body. The result is a happy, healthy and physically active child.

Common Conditions Seen In Children

Pediatric chiropractic is a safe and natural way to keep children and babies as healthy as possible. Our doctors are very friendly and amazing with children. They have had additional training in pediatric chiropractic and offer gentle chiropractic manipulation techniques that involve light pressure on the joint, and are safe and painless. They will provide your child with a hands-on treatment plan that is tailored specific to them. Some of the most common conditions our doctors see children for include:


  • Joint and muscle pain
  • torticollis
  • Colic
  • Acid reflux
  • Constipation
  • Gassiness or upset stomach
  • Asthma
  • Scoliosis
  • Issues with latching or breast feeding
  • Ear infections


Our chiropractors do not treat these conditions specifically, they treat the underlying alignment issues which impact the nervous system resulting in body dysfunction. With gentle and natural chiropractic care, alignment is improved and the nervous system is free to function as it should, and many children are able to get the relief they need from common conditions such as these.
