Pediatric Chiropractic in Truckee
As a parent, you want your child to feel comfortable in their body so they can run, play, sleep well, and keep up in school. When your baby struggles with colic or your teen battles stiffness from sports or screen time, it can be stressful for the whole family. Pediatric chiropractic care at Elevation Chiropractic offers a gentle, drug-free way to support your child’s growing body and nervous system. Dr. Michael Colpitts provides calm, kid-friendly visits designed to help babies, children, and teens feel their best.
What Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic Looks Like
Pediatric chiropractic is not adult care “shrunk down.” Kids are still developing, so their adjustments use very light pressure—often no more than you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato. Dr. Colpitts uses Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT®), a low-force method that gently balances the pelvis and skull using specific contacts and cushioned blocks to help the nervous system work better. There is no twisting or high-force cracking, which helps children feel at ease. Visits are efficient, so care fits into your family’s schedule.
How Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help Your Child
Many parents choose chiropractic care to help their kids move better, feel calmer, and stay active. Care plans are personalized, but common concerns we see include:
- Colic, reflux, and digestive discomfort
- Breastfeeding or latch challenges related to tension
- Frequent ear infections or sinus congestion
- Torticollis, head tilt, or flat spots on the head
- Sports aches, sprains, and “growing pains”
- Posture issues and headaches linked to device use
- Restless sleep or general irritability
By easing tension in the spine and nervous system, kids often become more comfortable, coordinated, and ready for fun around Truckee.
Whole-Person Care for Active Families
At Elevation Chiropractic, Dr. Colpitts looks at how your child moves, sits, sleeps, and plays—not just where it hurts. Using gentle SOT®, he focuses on the whole body so kids can better handle active days and long school hours. Whether your child is an adventurous toddler, young athlete, or tech-loving teen, care is tailored to their stage of growth.
