Treating Babies & Children

Birth is perhaps one of the hardest things we go through in our lives. For a baby to be squeezed through the birth canal, a lot of pressure is put on their head, which can lead to problems and discomfort. Most babies recover well but chiropractic may be needed (or Craniosacral treatment) if a baby exhibits any of the following signs:

• Feeding problems
• Colic, wind and sickness
• Difficulty settling
• Continuous crying

Older children often have tumbles and scrapes associated with growing up and learning about the world and occasionally these experiences can lead to misalignments in the skeleton. This is often worsened at school by sitting on poorly designed school chairs and carrying heavy school bags.

There have also been many recorded incidences where chiropractic has helped children with the following:

• Some childhood asthma
• Learning difficulties and behavioural problems including ADHD, hyperactivity and dyspraxia.
• Vulnerability to infections such as ear infections and repetitive colds.
