“90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine.”

Supporting early brain and nervous system development
A child’s brain grows and develops more in the first 4 years of life than in the rest of the brain’s development. All development and behaviour is a window into the brain and the central nervous system.
Every little movement, reflex, and response can provide insight into how the nervous system is functioning. Paediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting the natural function of the nervous system and observing signs of tension, discomfort, or asymmetry.
This approach aims to assist in the body’s ability to function and adapt during these critical early years, supporting overall development in a safe and gentle way.
Your Child's Development
At Coast Family Chiropractic, we understand that while every child is unique, there are specific milestones essential for optimal growth and development.
Six Major Categories of Development:
- Movement
- Communication
- Nourishment
- Sleep
- Learning
- Play
Utilising Functional Brain Testing, we can accurately assess each category of development, providing deeper insights into your child’s overall function and behaviour. This helps us understand why they might be experiencing certain struggles and challenges.
What if my child won't sit still?
Still unsure if your Child might benefit from chiropractic care?
We understand that putting your child’s health in the hands of someone takes a massive amount of trust. Our chiropractor Dr. Mike offers complimentary phone consultations for new families.
This allows you to ask any questions or bring up any concerns to make sure we are the right fit for your family’s journey before making an appointment.
