CONCERNS WE SUPPORT
Chiropractic care is the safest way to naturally help children thrive in life, without needing medicines. Life can be challenging for some children, and getting their nerve system checked can prevent lots of health challenges in the future.
From the first weeks to
the teenage years.
0-6 months
Breastfeeding & latch difficulties
Difficulty latching, preference for one side, or fussiness during feeds can be related to restricted neck mobility.
0-12 months
Constipation
The nervous system regulates digestion. Gentle support can complement medical care for constipation or feeding related challenges
0-6 months
Reflux and/or projectile vomiting
Difficulty latching, preference for one side, or fussiness during feeds can be related to restricted neck mobility.
0- 12 months
Head tilt (torticollis) & flat spots
A baby's preference to look one way can lead to flattening on one side of the head. Early support helps re-establish symmetrical movement.
All ages
Sleeping issues
Trouble settling, frequent waking, or restlessness. We look at how the nervous system is regulating and rule out musculoskeletal contributors.
School-aged children
Growing pains & sports readiness
Aches in legs at night, unexplained discomfort during growth spurts, or recurring sports niggles. We help children adapt to their changing bodies and environments
School-aged children
Gait abnormalities
Knock knees, in toeing (pigeon-toed), out toeing, persistent toe-walking after age of 3 could be signs of imbalance in the spine and nervous system
All ages
Posture, clumsiness, and milestones
Asymmetric crawling, late walking, frequent tripping, or W-sitting habits. We assess developmental movement patterns.
Common Signs of Imbalance
Your child prefers to turn their head to one side more than the other
Your baby’s body rests in a ‘banana’ shape.
Difficulty latching or feeding

Questions parents ask us.
Why?
The birthing process can place significant stress on an infant’s spine and skull. This may affect the infants nervous system function, and their future health potential. This is more so if the birth was invasive, or a C-section delivery.
Nerve system stress, left unaddressed, impairs the child’s ability to function in a state of optimal health and well-being.
Does It Hurt?
We use specific, gentle technqiues tailored to each child’s age, body size, tone, and unique needs. For infants, adjustments are extremely light— sometimes no more than the pressure of a fingertip.
