Who we help
newborns
Safe and Gentle support for little ones
Whether this is your first baby or the latest addition to your family, we understand that every baby is unique. As parents, this can be both wonderful and exciting, but also sometimes stressful.
The care that we provide newborns and young babies is specifically modified to be gentle for each child’s age, size and development. Paediatric chiropractic adjustments on babies and kids look very different to the chiropractic care we provide to adults, no “popping” or “cracking”. Our team will always take the time to explain exactly what they are going to do before they do it to ensure you are comfortable.
Supporting your baby's development
As paediatric chiropractors, we pride ourselves on treating every mother and child uniquely and individually, to truly take the time to understand your pregnancy, labour and birth journey.
As a part of our 5 – step clinical process we will take the time to show you and educate you exactly what is happening and why your baby might be displaying signs of:
- Discomfort or difficulty with changing clothes
- Discomfort lying on changing table
- Difficulty latching or feeding
- Plagiocephaly (Flat head syndrome)
- Colic
- Difficulty with Tummy Time
- Dislike of car seats
- Avoidance behaviours eg. persistent asymmetrical postures – always having head rotated or tilted
- Dislike of being held on one side versus the other eg. when feeding
Still unsure if your newborn might benefit from chiropractic care?
We understand that putting your newborn child’s health in the hands of someone takes a massive amount of courage and 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.
