Child and Family Chiropractic
Jack's Point, Queenstown
Chiropractic care from birth is like growing a garden. When you nurture the soil, provide proper nutrients and sunlight-you know your garden will flourish and tends to be resilient through changes and dynamics in the environment.
Our approach to family wellbeing works in much the same way. We know that to grow healthy and resilient children, a clear and connected nervous system is an essential component of this. When a child first comes to Health Edit Chiropractic, it is often the case that we have been checking Mum throughout her pregnancy, so we understand a little bit about this child’s entrance into the world. This first visit is often within their first few weeks of life, although some children start with us later in life at the practice.
Common Childhood Conditions We See
Did you know that a child does not need to have a problem or condition to benefit from chiropractic care? We see many children right from birth to ensure they grow up as healthy and resilient as possible.
Although we also know that if a child shows signs of a body under stress, this is an excellent time to be checked and adjusted by a chiropractor.
Some of these signs include a child who
-
Favours one side while nursing
-
Has difficulty latching or feeding
-
Is unsettled
-
Appears to get sick more often than others
-
Struggles with attention or focus
-
Has emotional dysregulation
-
Experiences sleep or digestion difficulties
