Thoughtful Care for Children
Paediatric chiropractic care may help give your little ones the ability to develop and function normally. It’s our firm belief that it’s vital for kids to get a head start in life by maximising function in their body, which is precisely what we aim to do.
When it comes to older children and teenagers, their parents often wonder about their posture. In today’s world, kids are hunched over mobile phones, tablets and computers more than ever before. You may notice that their head has shifted, which is called forward head posture. It occurs with too much time spent on devices. We can evaluate your child’s posture and determine if they need help in correcting it.
- Better digestion
- Decreased asthma, allergies and colic
- Fewer colds, feeding issues and ear infections
- Improved posture
- Optimal brain and nerve development
Parents have entrusted us with the care of their children for more than two decades. We help kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. The younger the child, the gentler the care. As an example, with newborns, only a single finger is used to adjust, and the pressure would be as deep as testing a tomato for ripeness.
No twisting or cracking of the spine takes place when it comes to adjusting a baby or child.
Frequently Asked Questions
What forms of testing do you do on children?
Children aren’t treated as little adults here. At your child’s first appointment, we will perform a range of testing as appropriate to the child. If your child is a baby, we’ll test their primitive reflexes and look for any signs of developmental delay. Our computerised nerve scanning can be performed on babies and children alike. It doesn’t involve any radiation and takes just minutes to complete. On babies and younger children, we typically do not take X-rays. Only after our thorough examination process will your child get their first adjustment.
What if my child feels nervous?
How often do you recommend seeing a child for care?
Our recommendations will vary from child to child, just as they are customised for an adult. We’ll take into account their age, current condition and how quickly they respond to care in what we recommend for your child.
Can my entire family come in for a single appointment?
Yes! We love seeing entire families at once. You can book an appointment where we have plenty of time to see you and your children.
