Why Children May Benefit From Chiropractic

As children grow, their bodies go through constant changes. Physical stress from play, falls, posture habits, or rapid development can sometimes lead to tension in the spine and nervous system. This may show up as:

• Trouble sleeping or settling

• Uneven posture or movement

• Discomfort when sitting or lying

• Recurring headaches or stiffness

• Tension following sports or activity

• Challenges with coordination or balance

Chiropractic care supports spinal function and helps the nervous system communicate clearly with the rest of the body.

Care for Babies and Newborns

Even newborns can experience physical tension. Birth itself is a natural but physically demanding process, and gentle chiropractic care can help release stress in the spine and muscles that may affect feeding, sleep, or comfort.

Common reasons parents bring babies to see us include:

• Head turning preference

• Breastfeeding issues

• Digestive tension or discomfort

• Flat spots on the head

• Irritability or unsettled behaviour

We use light fingertip pressure and soft techniques suitable for even the youngest infants.

Chiropractic for Toddlers and Children

As little ones begin walking, climbing, and playing, they also start to experience bumps, tumbles, and postural changes. We support children through early movement stages and into school age with care that encourages balance, flexibility, and spinal strength.

We commonly see children with:

• Falls or physical impacts

• Postural strain from device use or backpacks

• Growing pains or stiffness

• Behavioural signs of discomfort

• Sports injuries or overuse tension

Chiropractic helps keep developing bodies aligned, mobile, and functioning at their best.

Chiropractic for Teens and Young Adults

In teenage years, rapid growth and lifestyle changes can create new challenges. From long hours of study to increased physical activity or sports training, chiropractic care helps manage stress on the spine and supports good habits for long-term health.

We help teens with:

• Headaches and neck tension

• Screen-related postural stress

• Sports injuries and recovery

• Growing imbalances

• General musculoskeletal support

We always explain treatment clearly and involve the teen or young adult in their care decisions.

Do Children Need a Referral?

No referral is required. You can book your child directly for chiropractic care. If their discomfort is related to an injury, we can file an ACC claim in-clinic and help manage it through to recovery.
