Gentle Care for Growing Bodies
Pediatric Chiropractic in Littleton, CO
Children’s nervous systems are developing rapidly, and gentle chiropractic care can support healthy growth, improve focus, and address common childhood conditions like colic, ear infections, bedwetting, and behavioral challenges without medication.
Why Children Need Chiropractic Care
Children encounter many physical, chemical, and emotional stresses in their lives that you may not realize. Physical stresses include the birth process, learning to walk, playground falls, and sports. Chemical stresses come from processed foods, environmental toxins, and medications. Emotional stresses arise from school pressure, social challenges, and screen time. The birth process itself, particularly difficult deliveries involving vacuum extraction, forceps, or C-section, can create spinal misalignments in a newborn. As children grow, learning to walk, playground falls, heavy backpacks, sports activities, and prolonged screen time all create additional stress on the developing spine.
These subluxations can manifest as difficulty sleeping, colic and excessive crying, chronic ear infections, bedwetting, behavioral issues and emotional dysregulation, difficulty concentrating, digestive problems, recurring illness due to compromised immune function, and developmental delays.
Because children’s nervous systems are still forming, they often respond remarkably quickly to gentle chiropractic correction. Many parents report noticeable improvement within the first few visits.
“Dr. Dody is super effective and really cares about his patients! He uses a complete whole body approach with gentle chiropractic care, nutrition counseling, and neurofeedback for optimum brain function.”

Gentle Techniques for Young Patients
Dr. Dody uses the ArthroStim instrument at its lowest force setting for pediatric adjustments. The amount of force used on an infant is roughly equivalent to the pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. There is absolutely no cracking, twisting, or forceful manipulation.
Children often enjoy their visits. The adjustment is quick, comfortable, and many children find the gentle vibration of the ArthroStim soothing. We take time to explain everything to both parent and child in age-appropriate terms, and we never proceed until everyone is comfortable.
Seeing a chiropractor regularly during childhood can improve sleep quality, improve behavior and attitude, encourage better immune system function, support proper spinal development, and create long-term health benefits. Starting chiropractic care while young ensures that your child’s nervous system develops as healthy as possible.
Neurofeedback for Children
For children struggling with ADHD, anxiety, behavioral challenges, or learning difficulties, we offer neurofeedback therapy as a drug-free alternative. Many parents come to us after trying medication and experiencing unwanted side effects like appetite suppression, sleep disruption, personality changes, or stunted growth.
Our QEEG brain mapping identifies the specific brain wave patterns contributing to your child’s difficulties. Neurofeedback then trains the brain toward healthier function, improving focus, emotional regulation, and behavior without the risks associated with stimulant or psychiatric medication.
Children as young as five can participate in neurofeedback. Sessions are designed to be engaging, often involving watching movies or shows. Most children look forward to their sessions. Visit our ADHD treatment page for more information.
“ADHD medications caused severe side effects like stuttering, sleeplessness, and emotional outbursts. After just 10 neurofeedback sessions, he stopped stuttering, slept better, and could finally focus. It’s a real, lasting solution.”
