Paediatric Chiropractor Mornington – Infant & Child Chiropractic Care

paediatric chiro [suburb]For over 35 years, Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic Clinic has been delivering Chiropractic care for babies and children to the Mornington 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 can Chiropractic Care Help Infants and Children?

Our chiropractors are able to treat various concerns that babies and children may experience. Conditions we commonly treat 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 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 is a term used to describe the potential spinal damage that can result from the birth process in infants. This condition has been widely documented in medical research and may lead to a range of health problems. Our chiropractors are able to carry out a detailed orthopaedic and neurological assessment of your child to detect and manage any potential issues.

Plagiocephaly

Deformational Plagiocephaly is a condition where uneven pressure on an infant’s skull causes a flat spot on the back or one side of the head, potentially leading to developmental delays.

Our chiropractors are able to offer advice on your baby’s sleep positioning and how to lay them down, while also explaining the management options available, such as using the TinyYears pillow, which was designed by Dr Glenn Maginness.

Neurological Developmental Assessment

Neurological Developmental Screening Tests are designed to identify whether parts of a child’s brain are functioning at the expected level for their age and/or which areas may be underperforming. The results help us determine if your child may need treatment and, if so, the most suitable form of treatment.

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