Children Chiropractic
Gentle Chiropractic Care For Kids
Although falls and bumps and can be a normal part of childhood, sometimes these accidents cause spinal misalignments that can be corrected with gentle children chiropractic care.
At Errol Street Chiropractic, our chiropractors have a special interest in looking after children. Anytime one pops into our chiro practice, there are children playing with puzzles, getting stickers and generally being kids.
Most Common Reasons Parents Bring Their Kids To Our Practice
Whether you are considering bringing in your child for a fall off a bike or your child has back pain, we first listen, then we watch and gently assess your child to find out if there is anything we can do to make their life better.
“Our process is simple: we first listen, then we watch - and gently assess your child to find out if there’s anything we can do to make their life better.”
The most common reason parents bring their children in for a chiropractor assessment are:
- Stiff necks
- Back pain
- Poor posture
- History of falls of change tablets, bed, play equipment
- Sitting in a ‘W’ position with their legs
- Scoliosis
- Wear school backpack on one side only or too low
When do children need chiropractic care?
Children are in the habit of growing. It is vitally important that the spine of your child is moving well. The brain needs to receive information from the spine for sensorimotor integration. This allows the child to learn, move well and respond to the environment in the most appropriate way.
“90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by movement of the spine” Roger Sperry, Nobel prize winner on brain research.
As a parent what we all want the best for our children. We want them to be healthy, have an ability to learn and make friends, in other words to THRIVE.
We understand that children have special needs as they go through different stages of growth and development. Even their spinal sagittal (side) curves are approximately 20% less than adult curves at around the age of 9-10 years.
If you have concerns about your child in any of these areas, then our further paediatric studies have equipped us to help you and your child get the results.
Will My Children Feel Any Pain During Chiropractic Treatment?
Not only is our assessment designed for growing humans, but our treatment techniques are appropriate for children too. Our techniques are always gentle and our care is delivered with total respect for that child. We explain any treatment to the family before we commence care. No surprises.
A gentle chiropractic care that fits of all ages.
We understand that children can feel back and neck pain too, and addressing their problems is what we do. Our goal is to achieve the best outcome for your children.
