Paediatric Chiropractic in Darwin
Many adult health issues actually begin in childhood and go unnoticed. Our healthcare system excels at identifying sickness and disease but often overlooks the optimal development of our children. At our practice, we believe that simply being free from illness isn’t enough for our little ones. Like you, we strive to ensure that they are developing and functioning at their best, just as they were meant to. We’re committed to monitoring and supporting their growth every step of the way.
What to Expect
Your child’s chiropractic examinations and adjustments will be quite different to yours. We’ll be looking at age appropriate primitive reflexes and developmental milestones to determine how well their nervous system is communicating. We’ll also talk with Mum and Dad about any concerns they have. Our goal is not to “sit and wait.” We want to be proactive in creating health, rather than waiting for problems or dysfunction to develop.
As kids get older, you may notice different types of issues arising: recurrent illnesses, behaviour issues at school, bedwetting or sleep disturbances, to name a few. Many of these conditions can be traced back to nervous system disturbances, and when we locate and correct the underlying problem in the spine, the nervous system can return to working the way it should, and many conditions resolve on their own.
We Cater to You
To make your visit as comfortable as possible, we’ve got changing and feeding facilities in our Centre. We understand that babies can be unpredictable, and we are happy to adapt and accommodate your needs.
Our adjusting techniques for children are extremely gentle, typically using a low-force instrument or a finger to apply about the same pressure you might use to check a tomato for ripeness. The adjustments are quite comfortable and many parents think it looks like a very gentle massage.
Relief for the Whole Family
When a newborn is unable to sleep, cries constantly or won’t eat, the stress affects every member of the family. The biggest joy for us is in helping relieve that nervous system interference in the baby, allowing it to settle down and be comfortable – meaning that the whole family can get some rest and relief.
