Pediatric Chiropractic at Essential Family Chiropractic
Some kids come in at one day old. Others start when things just feel off – feeding issues, trouble sleeping, clumsiness, or frequent meltdowns. However they get here, we meet them where they are. Chiropractor Dr David offers gentle, age-appropriate care that supports growing bodies and developing nervous systems without the use of forceful techniques. Every child is different, and every visit is tailored to what their body needs at that moment.
Gentle, Tailored Care for All Ages
For newborns and infants, care might include soft cranial work, gentle tissue releases, or visual reflex checks to support digestion, head shape, and comfort. These sessions are calm, brief, and led by your child’s cues. As kids grow, techniques shift – toddlers and school-aged children might benefit from light fascial release, energy balancing, or instrument adjusting.
Older kids and teens may receive manual adjustments when appropriate, always with care and clear communication. Dr David blends several techniques to support balance, coordination, and function through every stage.
Signs Your Child May Benefit
For little ones, it can be trouble latching, favouring one side, reflux, poor sleep, or arching their back during nappy changes. For older children, it can be headaches, growing pains, posture changes, clumsiness, frequent illness, or emotional overwhelm. Even subtle signs – like avoiding sports, being “accident-prone,” or struggling to sit still – may suggest the nervous system could use support.
What to Expect at Your Visit
We’re family-friendly, flexible, and relaxed. Siblings are welcome, and support people can come, too. Kids can play in reception, hang with Mum during her adjustment, or bring a toy to hold while they get checked. Dr David takes time to make sure your child feels safe and seen. Intake forms are available online, so feel free to fill those out ahead of time.
