Overview / What Is It

Gentle infant chiropractic adjustment with fingertip pressure

At Smith Elite Family Chiropractic, we specialize in neurologically focused chiropractic care for infants, children, and teenagers in Liberty, MO. With over 1,000 hours of postgraduate pediatric training, Focus Certification, and Epic Peds training, our doctors don't just see kids on the side, pediatric care is the heart of our practice.

Parents come to us because they've tried everything else, or because they know something is off and can't get clear answers. We listen. We assess. And we use CLA INSiGHT neurological scanning to show you exactly what's happening in your child's nervous system, not just guess based on symptoms.

Our adjustments are incredibly gentle. For infants, we use about the same pressure you'd use to check a ripe peach. For older kids and teens, techniques are adapted to their age and size. Every child's care plan is built around their unique scan results and developmental needs.

Your child's nervous system controls everything, movement, digestion, immune response, sleep, focus, mood, and behavior. When there's interference in that system (what we call subluxation), it can show up in ways that don't always look like a "spine problem." Pediatric chiropractic removes that interference so your child's brain and body can communicate clearly. The result is a nervous system that regulates better, adapts better, and supports healthy development at every stage.

Our Approach

Birth is one of the most physically stressful events a baby goes through, even in uncomplicated deliveries. Feeding difficulties, excessive fussiness, sleep struggles, and tension patterns often trace back to nervous system stress from birth.

As children grow, their nervous system faces new challenges, school stress, screen time, sports, social pressure, and developmental demands. Kids who struggle with focus, behavior, immune health, or emotional regulation often have a nervous system stuck in fight or flight mode.

Your child's first visit includes a consultation, health history, and CLA INSiGHT neurological scans. These scans are completely painless and noninvasive, most kids think they're pretty cool. We review everything with you at a dedicated Report of Findings appointment before any adjustments begin.

The office is designed to be kid friendly. Our team is experienced with children of all ages and temperaments, from newborns to teenagers who'd rather be anywhere else. We're located right off of I-35 and 527 N State Route 291, Suite B in Liberty, MO.

Who Is This For

Pediatric chiropractic is for families at every stage of childhood, from newborns in their first days of life to teenagers navigating adolescence. If your child is struggling with colic, reflux, ear infections, tongue tie, torticollis, ADHD, anxiety, autism, sensory processing challenges, sleep difficulties, immune concerns, or behavioral issues, this care is for them.

It's also for parents who want proactive nervous system support for a child who seems healthy but may benefit from optimized brain body communication. If you've tried everything else or just know something is off, we're here to help you find answers. And care can start even before baby arrives — expecting moms can begin with our prenatal and postnatal care.
