Chiropractors have a unique specialist interest in the promotion of healthy neuromuscular and structural development at all ages.
A child is never too young to see a chiropractor and we often check children soon after birth particularly after difficult deliveries requiring intervention.
Chiropractic is safe and should not be considered synonymous with having your neck cracked. There is no need to ever ‘crack’ a baby’s neck.
There are a range of gentle techniques that we use in a paediatric setting to restore proper function. Interventions are always graded and delivered in an age-appropriate way.

It is because of the intimate relationship between the nervous system and the spine that Chiropractors give so much focus to spinal alignment and function.
Since nerves affect every cell, tissue and organ in the body if irritated at the level of the spine the effects can be far reaching.

We consider neuromuscular and structural systems as a whole as well as areas such as nutrition, how children are handled and other environmental factors when assessing children of all ages.
