Chiro Care For Children
Comprehensive Care for Your Child’s Health and Development
At Chiro Health Vision, we take a thorough approach to understanding your child’s health, starting with an extensive initial consultation. During this time, we discuss key aspects of your child's health, including their pregnancy and birth history, feeding and sleeping habits, development, behaviour, and family health history. We also explore other factors, such as diet and lifestyle, to get a full picture of their well-being. Once we gather all this information, we perform a detailed examination to identify any areas of concern. If any abnormalities or issues are found, we will clearly explain the findings and discuss the best treatment options to support your child’s health. If necessary, we may recommend a referral to another healthcare professional for further support.
Stages of Chiropractic Care for Infants
Chiropractic care for infants typically progresses through three stages: acute care, stabilization care, and prevention care.
- Acute Care Stage: The initial stage focuses on identifying and correcting any musculoskeletal issues, such as joint or muscle dysfunction, which may be impacting your child’s development. Frequent adjustments during this phase help restore proper function and can also have positive effects on the nervous system.
- Stabilisation Care Stage: Once the primary issues are addressed, the focus shifts to stabilising the spine and supporting tissues. Treatment frequency decreases to every one or two weeks, as muscles, ligaments, and bones begin to strengthen. During this phase, your child’s body, especially at a young age, is highly responsive to chiropractic care, allowing for faster recovery and structural improvements.
- Prevention Care Stage: In this final phase, the focus shifts to maintaining optimal function as your child grows. Regular check-ups (every 1 to 3 months) help ensure any new issues are detected early and addressed quickly. This proactive approach supports your child’s continued growth, neurological development, and overall well-being.
Tailored Treatment Plans for Your Child
At Chiro Health Vision, we design individualized treatment plans based on your child’s unique needs. These plans may include a combination of techniques such as gentle spinal adjustments, muscle massage, exercises, and cranio-sacral therapy. We also offer advice on diet, sleep, formula feeding, and nutrition, ensuring that all aspects of your child’s development are supported. Our approach is flexible and tailored to your child’s progress, with visit frequency determined by their specific needs rather than a set schedule. Our team works closely with you to ensure that your child’s chiropractic care supports their overall health and development, helping them grow stronger, healthier, and happier.
