Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to address a variety of conditions in children, from infancy through to teenage years. Each treatment is carefully tailored to suit your child’s specific needs, with consideration of their presentation and age.
Our approach for babies and young children involves gentle techniques, such as the ‘touch and hold’ method. This involves applying light, sustained pressure to areas of tension (similar to the pressure you might use to test the ripeness of a piece of fruit). These gentle methods differ significantly from those used for adults, ensuring the utmost care and comfort for your child. Babies often respond exceptionally well to the ‘touch and hold’ technique and may require only a few sessions (typically 4–6) to see noticeable improvements. It’s normal for babies to become tearful during their appointment, but many parents observe that their little ones sleep deeply and peacefully afterward.
As children grow, their treatment evolves to meet their developmental needs, slowly we will incorporate more active techniques, such as guided exercises and age-appropriate manual therapy, to support their active lifestyles. In addition to hands-on care, you’ll receive personalized advice on movement, exercises, and educational tips to support your child’s progress at home.
We are here to support your child’s health and well-being with compassionate, age-appropriate care.
