Chiropractic care is a safe and effective form of healthcare for babies from birth. Some of the reasons why a parent may take a child to the Chiropractor may include:

Posture Assessment

With the increase in screens and technology, we are seeing more children presenting with forward head posture and rounded shoulders. These postures can influence behaviours, neck and back pain and headaches.

Birth Trauma

49% of births in Australia require some form of intervention. The use of instrumentation during delivery can cause tension in a babies spine and skull. Dr Demi uses age specific assessments including orthopaedic and neurological testing to assess your child.

Plagiocephaly

Flat spots on the head can develop from position in utero, the birth process or on behaviours day to day. The presence of a flat spot may occur as a result of neck and cranial tension and research shows a link between flat head and developmental delay. If you are noticing a head preference or flat spot on your babies head get in contact today!

Delayed/Missed Milestones

Milestone achievement is an indication into the function of the nervous system. If your child is slow to achieve milestones or has missed milestones completely this is an indication that there may be underlying spine tension and nervous system dysfunction.
