Paediatric Chiropractor Kunyung – 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 Kunyung 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 Chiropractic Care Can Assist 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

Research indicates that 73% of parents are worried about their child’s posture, especially as increased phone and tablet usage leads to slouching and possible spine and neck concerns.

Mt. Eliza Family Chiropractic uses a technology-driven postural assessment system that identifies even the slightest postural deviations, produces a report featuring your child’s unique postural images, and analyses the data to link the postural distortions to specific spinal biomechanics. This assessment allows us to create a personalised care plan and monitor your child’s progress and improvements over time.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis typically appears in children between the ages of 10 and 15, though it can also develop in younger children aged 3 to 10 (juvenile scoliosis) and in babies (infantile scoliosis). The condition may result in poor posture, shoulder humping, muscle weakness, and spinal pain, and it can be more serious in children due to its potential to progress rapidly during growth. Scoliosis can be treated by a children’s chiropractor through various methods to alleviate discomfort and restore proper functionality.

Traumatic Birth Syndrome

Traumatic Birth Syndrome refers to the potential spinal damage that may occur in an infant as a result of the birth process. This condition is well-documented in medical research and can contribute to various health issues. Our chiropractors can conduct a comprehensive orthopaedic and neurological evaluation of your child to identify and address any possible concerns.

Plagiocephaly

Deformational Plagiocephaly is a condition characterised by a flat spot on the back or one side of an infant’s head caused by uneven pressure on the skull which may lead to 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 assess which areas of a child’s brain are functioning at the expected level for their age and/or which areas may not be. These results give us valuable information about whether your child could benefit from treatment and, if so, which type of treatment would be most appropriate.

Our chiropractors are qualified in paediatric neurological assessment and management, with expertise in integrating retained primitive reflexes and providing vestibular system support.

He graduated in 1986 from RMIT University as a Doctor of Chiropractic and he completed a Masters degree in Chiropractic Paediatrics in 1998.
