Chiropractic for Kids

“Discovering the power of chiropractic was a gift. Sharing the power of chiropractic is a blessing.”

Chiropractic care is not just for adults. Young children can also benefit from a trip to the chiropractor’s office.
Many parents might not know the importance of taking their child to a chiropractor. From improved behavior to better sleep, it can help your child is a myriad of ways.
A child’s body undergoes a lot of trauma. They’re starting to learn how to move about in the world. Children are constantly in a state of play and discovery.
Children experience not only physical but emotional stress early on in their lives.

Chiropractic care works well for children because their bodies are still growing. The alignment of the spine is very important for proper development. Chiropractors can alleviate tense muscles that lead to a misaligned spine or subluxation.
This condition leads to other health conditions and physical issues. These include ear infections, headaches, asthma, and much more.

Improved Sleep

Since chiropractic care works to release stress in the body, it can improve sleep. Certain tensions can cause sleeping troubles such as insomnia.
Sleep is an essential part of a child’s life. It doesn’t just help them function during the day. It’s important for their development and emotional wellbeing.

Immune System Support

Chiropractic care has many benefits for a child’s immune system.
It can help a child who’s suffering from a cold or infection. This support can also improve their immunity functions.
Going to a chiropractor can improve a child’s digestive system and target related issues. Adjustments end stomach problems such as constipation or reflux.

Better Behavior

Less stress leads to better behavior.
Chiropractic care helps children improve their mood and attitude by releasing tension. Improved sleep will also lessen stress for your child and help them function during the day.

Nervous System Support

The benefits of child chiropractic adjustments extend into the nervous system. Chiropractors make sure the spine is growing in the correct way. This prevents and treats certain nervous system issues like ear infections.
This care can also treat asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues. It does this by targeting misaligned nerves that affect a child’s respiratory system.

Brain Development

Chiropractic care can have a great effect on your child’s neural brain development. It does this by releasing pressure on bones and joints, as well as the spine.
Increased brain development promotes better concentration. It can improve focus and reduce hyperactivity. This includes targeting conditions such as ADHD.

Wood Chiropractic feels like a family. They are all warm and welcoming and Dr Wood truly cares about you health and wellness. The best part about it, for busy people, they run like a well oiled machine. You rarely wait. They are super efficient.

Our family can’t recommend Dr. Wood enough. We started going to his practice over a year ago when my husbands shoulder was bothering him and my knee was giving me issues causing pain when trying to hike. Dr. Wood put together a plan to address our individual problems and our pain has not returned. We also just had him adjust our 6 week old newborn who was fussy and not a happy baby. Overnight we have a completely different happy baby that is sleeping through the night. Highly recommend this practice for the entire family.

I have been seeing Dr. Wood and his team for almost 10 years. I won’t go anywhere else. He treats you like family and has helped me drastically over the years. My kids have even seen him. We love Dr. Wood and his clinic

Jarrod N.

My family and I have been patients of Chris for years and he is hands down the best chiropractor we have ever been to. I highly recommend him!

Julie C.

I'd never been to a chiropractor before, but my back was really bothering me. I thought I had muscle strain, but Dr. Wood explained that my spine was causing issues with my joints. He did an adjustment and it felt so much better!! So glad I went and I'm going to continue to go to keep my back! Michael is great, too! Love the heated rolling massage machine! Thanks!

Wood Chiropractic proves the best Chiropractic care I have ever received, and I have had a lot of it. They are down to earth, open, honest trustworthy, efficient, and caring. They are available and scheduling is easy. They have a very friendly environment and will provide only the services you need. I trust them with my health

Jared D.

I've had to endure back pain the vast majority of my life and only chiropractic treatment has managed it well enough to continue a physically active lifestyle. Dr. Wood is noticeably better than any of the three previous chiropractors I've tried. He remains attentively mindful towards my specific conditions & evolving circumstances. This in turn has led to more pin point, subtle, effective adjustments. He has an extensive knowledge of health and is eager to share it. Dr. Wood truly cares about the health of his patients.

Traci M.

Dr. Wood has kept me going for years now! From allergies to never getting sick along with help for my neck and hips. I stay healthy and active with monthly adjustments! Forever great full for my health thanks to Dr Wood!

Dr. Wood's orthospinology technique is very gentle yet effective. This has helped me tremendously. They are also very flexible and accommodating with scheduling which is quite helpful. Everyone is very caring and professional. I highly recommend them. If you are looking for a good chiropractor I highly recommend Dr. Wood. I believe you would be quite happy with the services provided.

I am a very long time patient of Wood Chiropractic. Dr. Wood is incredibly knowledgeable, well trained, creative, and really listens to the patient. It takes regular maintenance to keep me going on many levels, and Chris is an invaluable piece in the medical/body care that does so very much for me. Everyone in the office is professional, friendly, and caring. I really wholeheartedly recommend Wood Chiropractic!

Dawn C.

Chris is professional, caring and creates a treatment plan that will assist your body to heal naturally. The relief I've received from consecutive treatments is significant. Thanks Chris for being a bright light and contributing to others through your gift!

Thomas S.

Dr. Wood saved me from neck surgery and having to quit my favorite hobby of Jiu-Jitsu. He doubled the space between my disks in my neck. Jiu-Jitsu can be a rough sport and it's long term effect on joints and mobility for many reasons. Without Dr. Wood I wouldn't be able to recover and continue to push myself in this sport and remain functional off the mat as well. At the age of 36 I competed in my first professional NoGi Jiu-Jitsu match and I give a lot of credit to Dr. Wood. Without Dr. Wood I would not feel physically capable to compete at a high level, which is an important part of my life.

Dr. Wood and his team are the best. My appointment is always on time and I get the best service. Thanks!

Angela B.

Dr. Wood is an amazing caring chiropractor! He takes the time to discuss your concerns, evaluates your habits (mine is unfortunately slouching) and addresses the area needing an adjustment. After a car accident he took careful action to take away my neck pain and get me back to normal. His office is always professional, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Wood and his team!

Chase S.

Wood Chiropractic is an amazing place with great people. Very friendly, and Dr. Wood has always listened to what has been bothering me and focused on getting those issues addressed with each adjustment. I have been to many chiropractors in Durango, and Wood Chiropractic is the best choice for me!

Sue P.

Dr. Wood has helped me greatly along my path to recovering from a grievous injury. He is a true healing force. Now he has added a medical massage therapist who complements his services with her own great touch. Thank you all, including Michael the scheduler, etc., for all the good you are doing.

Lisa T.

Chris is such a caring person. He is always willing to help you with anything he can. Since I have started going to him. He has taken real good care of us. Migraines have also not been as bad. Also my son started going to him and he helped him get back to playing football. He is an amazing sweet person
