Why Do Parents Bring Their Baby Or Child To Children's Sunshine Chiropractic?

Many parents visit our clinic because they have been referred or because they are seeking help.

Some parents recognise the birth process can potentially be traumatic and have an impact on their baby.

Babies may also roll off the change table, fall off the couch or bed, potentially causing muscle and joint injuries.

For Babies, parents commonly seek advice for:

  •   Babies appearing uncomfortable or favour looking or sleeping to one side.

For children, parents commonly seek advice for:

  • Sporting Injuries.
  • Headaches
  • Poor posture
  • Back pain

The Importance Of A Chiropractic Assessment!

 Post birth the most severe types of injuries (life threatening) are screened for, however mild to moderate birth injuries may be overlooked, not noticed or disregarded, thinking they will recover on their own.

These musculoskeletal injuries may affect an infant's quality of life.

Babies with musculoskeletal injuries may be more likely to cry excessively and mothers more likely to give up breast feeding (1).

For some of us the birth process will be the greatest trauma we will encounter in our life.

Babies can suffer from musculoskeletal trauma during birth and this may go undetected.

Musculoskeletal injuries are more common in traumatic births, however do still occur in non-traumatic births.

Musculoskeletal screening by chiropractors may be of benefit to identify musculoskeletal problems that might cause discomfort or pain in infants.

What Happens When You Visit The Practice For Your Baby/Child?

1. HISTORY - The Chiropractor will conduct a thorough history, finding all about your baby/child and any concerns you have.

2. EXAMINATION- Your Baby/Child will then be examined and checked for muscle tightness and any spinal misalignments (known as chiropractic subluxations).

3. EXPLANATION OF FINDINGS- The Chiropractor will then explain everything in detail and will answer any questions you may have.

4. TREATMENT- Your Baby/Child will then be treated if you choose to continue.

What Happens With Treatment?

The type of treatment varies depending on age.
For newborns, treatment often involves correction of any spinal misalignment with light pressure (equivalent to as much pressure you can tolerate on your eyeballs). A finger tip is placed on the spinal misalignment with light pressure then quickly removed making the spinal correction.

The treatment for babies is unique and is different to that for an adult. The baby's spine is so much smaller than an adult's spine.

Childrens Play Area

The children's play area has an array of mind stimulating toys to suit every child- from a multi level car garage to a doll’s house, from a toy kitchen to a doll’s cradle- not to mention numerous puzzles & building blocks!
