At Coast Family Chiropractic, we are deeply passionate about supporting children as they grow and develop.

Our chiropractic team has undergone extensive training and holds certifications in paediatric growth and development, focusing on a holistic whole-brain perspective.

Functional Whole Brain Testing

We utilise Functional Brain Testing to assess each child’s neurological function comprehensively. This testing allows us to identify areas where a child’s brain may not be functioning at the expected age-appropriate level. The tests conducted vary depending on the child’s age and include:

• Evaluation of Primitive Reflexes
• Assessment of Gross Motor Development
• Analysis of Fine Motor Development
• Auditory Processing Evaluation
• Ocular Motor Control Assessment
• Testing of Cerebellar Function
• Sensory Function Examination
• Cranial and Neurological Function Assessment
