Curious kids, healthy spines.
Children are naturally curious, always exploring and playing, but this can sometimes lead to minor falls or bumps that can disrupt their spinal function. Even slight dysfunction in the spine can have a significant impact on a child’s health. The first few years of a child’s life are critical for brain development, with more growth occurring in this time than at any other stage. This rapid development is closely tied to the maturation of the central nervous system, which is influenced by spinal health.
Paediatric chiropractors, trained in assessing and monitoring neurodevelopmental milestones, offer safe and gentle spinal adjustments to support healthy growth. In fact, more than 30,000 children in Australia receive chiropractic care every week(1). A recent review on the safety, and parental satisfaction of chiropractic for children found that over 98% of parents reported improvements in their child’s health and were highly satisfied with their experience.(2)
For parents who prioritise natural health and holistic approaches, chiropractic and physiotherapy care provide a way to support children’s development with minimal intervention.

Our Approach
Depending on the case and the comfort of your child, we will endeavour to also begin care at this appointment.
A follow up Report of Findings appointment is then scheduled to map out a tailored care plan that will suit the goals of the parent and child, to deliver best outcomes in the shortest time frame possible. Care will generally consist of gentle specific adjustments and soft tissue mobilisations, combined with therapeutic advice and exercises where applicable.
If you feel your child may have some issues that warrant a further look, please don’t hesitate to book an Initial Consultation today!
