Paediatric Chiropractic
in Southern River
Children’s bodies are constantly growing and changing, making proper spinal alignment essential for healthy development. Dr Leisa (Chiropractor) provides incredibly gentle chiropractic care specifically adapted for children from newborns through their teen years.
Our dedicated paediatric treatment room is specially equipped with child-friendly equipment to ensure your little one feels comfortable and secure.
Free Spinal Checks for School-Aged Children
We offer free spinal checks for all school-aged children, establishing an important baseline for their developing bodies. This complimentary service helps identify potential issues early on before they develop into problems that affect your child’s comfort or function. Even if you choose not to pursue care, having this baseline information is valuable, especially if your child experiences falls or injuries in the future. The quick and gentle check provides parents with peace of mind about their child’s spinal health.
Helping With Typical Childhood Conditions
For babies, Dr Leisa commonly addresses colic, reflux, unsettled behavior, uneven feeding, constipation, and sleep difficulties through extremely gentle adjustments. School-aged children benefit from care for posture issues, growing pains, sports injuries, and even conditions like bed-wetting or concentration difficulties.
Regular check-ups may help identify potential concerns like scoliosis early, when they’re easiest to address. Many parents report improvements in their children’s sleep, behaviour, and overall wellbeing after beginning chiropractic care.
A Different Approach for Little Bodies
“A baby is not simply a small adult – their spine requires a completely different approach.”
-Dr Leisa
The techniques used for children are entirely different from those used for adults. The adjustments use minimal force, just enough to guide the naturally mobile structures into proper alignment.
Parents are often surprised by how gentle and quick the process is, with many babies sleeping through their adjustments. Dr Leisa takes the time to explain everything before starting, ensuring both parent and child feel comfortable throughout the visit.
