At DC Family Chiropractic in Cañon City, we care for patients of every age, from newborns to teens. Our pediatric care is gentle, drug-free, and never involves surgery. Regular spinal checkups help make sure your child grows with healthy alignment.
The basic idea behind chiropractic is the same at 7 minutes old or 70 years old. What changes is how we deliver it. Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. is trained in adjusting young children, and he uses far less pressure than he would with an adult.
Care for Every Stage of Childhood
A baby, a busy grade-schooler, and a high school athlete all have different needs. We adjust our approach to match:
Infants and Toddlers
Very light pressure for the smallest patients. A good time for checkups is during big milestones like sitting up, crawling, and first steps.
Growing Kids
Gentle care for the bumps, tumbles, and growing-body aches that come with an active childhood.
Teens and Athletes
Injury care, recovery, and conditioning advice for young athletes in school and club sports across Fremont County.
Proper alignment helps kids stay comfortable as their bodies grow. Better comfort can also mean more restful sleep during the night and at nap time. Most of all, we want kids to keep doing the things they love.
Adolescent Performance Care
Dr. Buckhaults and his team help athletes of all ages recover from sports injuries. That includes the young athletes of our community. He is actively involved with Cañon City High School athletics and knows what young athletes face each season.
A single injury can change the way an athlete moves, even after it heals. Sports like soccer, football, and basketball involve sudden jolts and hard stops. A spinal adjustment after an injury may help reduce pain and support healing. Getting care early can lower the chance that a small injury turns into a long-term problem.
Back in the Game: We pair adjustments with corrective exercises your athlete can do at home. This helps them recover and lowers the chance of the same injury coming back.
