Why Chiropractics?

Chiropractic care once considered to treat neck and back pain is fast becoming one of the most popular natural alternatives for optimal health. Chiropractic treatment is designed to locate subluxations in the spinal vertebrae which causes blockages and impaired nerve function. By correcting these problems we can restore the flow of nervous energy to allow the body to heal itself and work at its peak.

Given that your nervous system is an information highway coordinating all bodily functions such as breathing digestion and immune response, leaving subluxations untreated over a period of time can lead to long term health problems and the bodies capacity for health can deteriorate over time. Research has shown that many spinal and health problems experienced by adults start very early in life.

Chiropractic care pre-conception, during pregnancy following into infancy, childhood, teens and beyond will set up your child for the best start to life.

Top 10 reasons chiropractic care can assist your child:

Maximise your child’s plasticity (brain and nerve development).
Enhance your child’s overall health and well-being.
Strengthen immunity and reduce the incidence of colds, earaches and general illness.
Assist with colic and irritable baby syndrome.
Helps with asthma, breathing difficulties and allergies.
Improve spinal posture.
Improve their ability to concentrate.
Assist with behavioural disorders and offer greater emotional well-being.
Help alleviate bed wetting and digestive problems.
Assist with sleep issues.

Chiropractic techniques for babies and children are different to those used for adults. Adjustments are usually performed on the parents lap and for our active toddlers can even be carried out whilst the child continues their play or drawing. Adjustments are gentle and usually involve fingertip pressure only occasionally we will use a small handheld instrument (activator) to adjust the spine or neck.

Your child’s health is their greatest asset!!
