Paediatric Chiropractor Tuerong – 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 Tuerong community.

The chiropractic approach to paediatrics is grounded in the belief that children are unique individuals developing through different stages, rather than being treated as ‘mini adults’. A paediatric chiropractor delivers gentle chiropractic care to children and carefully monitors clinical indicators that might require referral to other healthcare providers when necessary.

How Chiropractic Care Can Assist Infants and Children

Our chiropractors can treat a number of concerns experienced by babies and children. Some of the conditions we treat include:

Poor Posture

According to statistics, 73% of parents are concerned about their child’s posture, with the rise in phone and tablet use contributing to slouching and potential issues with the spine and neck.

Mt. Eliza Family Chiropractic employs a high-tech postural assessment system that identifies even subtle postural issues, generates a report with your child’s specific postural images, and analyses the data to connect postural deviations to spinal biomechanics. This assessment helps us design a tailored care plan and monitor your child’s progress and improvements as time goes on.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is usually first seen in children between the ages of 10 and 15. However, it can occur in younger children aged 3 to 10 years (juvenile scoliosis) and in babies (infantile scoliosis). The effects of scoliosis can include poor posture, shoulder humping, muscle weakness as well as spinal pain and can be a more serious condition in children because it can rapidly progress as the child grows. Scoliosis can be managed by a children’s chiropractor in a variety of different ways to help alleviate pain and restore normal 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 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 can provide guidance and tips on how to position your baby during sleep or when lying down, and will explain the available options to manage the condition, including the use of the specially designed TinyYears pillow 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 trained in the field of paediatric neurological assessment and management including the integration of retained primitive reflexes and vestibular system support.
