Paediatric Chiropractor Tyabb – Infant & Child Chiropractic Care

paediatric chiro [suburb]Mt Eliza Family Chiropractic Clinic has proudly offered Chiropractic care for babies and children to the Tyabb community for over 35 years.

The practice of paediatrics within the chiropractic profession is based on the principle that children are unique individuals undergoing the process of human development and not merely ‘little adults’. A paediatric chiropractor is a clinician capable of delivering gentle chiropractic care to a child, observing at all times the clinical parameters which would require that child to be referred to other health professionals where necessary.

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.

At Mt. Eliza Family Chiropractic, we utilise a technology-based postural assessment system that detects even minor postural deviations, generates a report with your child’s individual postural images, and analyses the data to relate the distortions to spinal biomechanics. This enables us to develop a customised care plan and track 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 is a condition which describes the potential damage to an infant’s spine which may result from the birth process. This condition has been well documented in medical research and can lead to all types of health problems. Our chiropractors can perform a thorough orthopaedic and neurological assessment of your child to identify and treat any potential issues.

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