Paediatric Chiropractor Belvedere Park – Infant & Child Chiropractic Care

paediatric chiro [suburb]For more than 35 years, Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic Clinic has provided Chiropractic care for children and babies to the Belvedere Park community.

Paediatric chiropractic care is centred on the understanding that children are unique individuals who are in a developmental phase, not just ‘little adults’. A paediatric chiropractor is skilled in providing gentle care to children, with close attention to any clinical signs that would suggest a referral to other health professionals is required.

How Does Chiropractic Care Benefit Infants and Children?

Our chiropractors offer treatment for a range of concerns faced by babies and children. Some of the conditions we help with include:

Poor Posture

Studies show that 73% of parents worry about their child’s posture, particularly as the increased use of phones and tablets contributes to slouching and possible spine and neck problems.

Mt. Eliza Family Chiropractic employs a technology based postural assessment system which detects even the most subtle postural deviations, generates a report with your child’s individual postural images, and then analyses the data relating the postural distortions to individual spinal biomechanics. We can use this assessment to tailor an individual care plan and track your child’s progress and improvement over time.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is often first noticed in children aged 10 to 15, but it can also occur in children aged 3 to 10 (juvenile scoliosis) and even in infants (infantile scoliosis). Its effects may include poor posture, shoulder humping, muscle weakness, and spinal pain, and it can be more serious in children because of the rapid progression during growth phases. A children’s chiropractor can manage scoliosis in several ways to relieve pain and bring back normal function.

Traumatic Birth Syndrome

Traumatic Birth Syndrome describes the potential for spinal damage in infants resulting from the birth process. This condition has been well supported by medical research and can lead to a variety of health concerns. Our chiropractors can perform a detailed orthopaedic and neurological examination of your child to identify and treat any possible problems.

Plagiocephaly

Deformational Plagiocephaly refers to a condition marked by a flat area on the back or one side of an infant’s head, caused by uneven pressure on the skull, which may result in developmental delays.

Our chiropractors can offer advice on positioning your baby during sleep or while lying down and will go over the management options available, including the use of the TinyYears pillow, designed by Dr Glenn Maginness.

Neurological Developmental Assessment

Neurological Developmental Screening Tests are used to determine which parts of a child’s brain are functioning at the expected level for his/her age and/or which parts of the child’s brain are not functioning at the expected level. The results will provide us with insight as to whether your child may benefit from treatment and if so what type of treatment would be best suited.

Our chiropractors are trained in the field of paediatric neurological assessment and management including the integration of retained primitive reflexes and vestibular system support.
