Paediatric Chiropractic Care in Falcon and Mandurah
From the moment they’re born, children’s bodies and nervous systems are working hard to grow, adapt, and develop. Paediatric chiropractic care focuses on assessing movement and development appropriate for your child’s age. Care is tailored to your child’s age, stage of development and individual presentation.
What Paediatric Chiropractic Looks After
Children’s nervous systems are constantly adapting, whether it’s the physical stress of birth, learning to sit and crawl, or the everyday demands of school and screen time. Paediatric chiropractic looks at how well a child’s brain and body are communicating. Assessment focuses on movement, posture and musculoskeletal function appropriate for your child’s stage of development.
The Reasons Parents Bring Their Child In
Parents bring children in for all kinds of reasons, and these change as a child grows. Common reasons include:
- Feeding or latching concerns (if appropriately qualified)
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Postural concerns
- Growing pains
- Scoliosis concerns
- Coordination or movement concerns
What a Visit Looks Like for Your Child
Every visit begins with a history, taken directly from your child where possible or from you as the parent. Primitive reflex assessment may be included as one component of your child’s overall clinical assessment. Depending on your child’s age, this might include scanning, posture photos, and an X-ray if warranted. At the second visit, your chiropractor sits down with you to explain the findings and outline a plan toward your child’s health goals, with progress reviewed regularly from there.
A Space Designed With Children in Mind
Checking and adjusting a child is a different skill to caring for an adult. Our chiropractors have undertaken additional education in paediatric chiropractic care. Origin Family Chiropractic also has a dedicated children’s room that connects straight to the playroom, filled with balls, soft toys, and comfortable spots for your child to lie on, so care feels like part of playtime rather than something to be nervous about.
