CHIROPRACTIC FOR KIDS
Our Chiropractors are trained to use a range of different techniques to care for patients of all ages! We modify our treatment to suit the age and development of each individual child. Chiropractors can play an active role in monitoring a child’s development, motor skills, and wellbeing. Ensuring healthy spine and brain development is important as we grow and learn. We love helping kids have the best start to life!

IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE FOR CHILDREN?
In March 2019, the Victorian Health Minister tasked Safer Care Victoria (SCV) to lead an independent review of the practice of spinal manipulation on children under 12 years of age. SCV wished to hear from parents who have accessed chiropractic care for their children, exploring their experiences, both positive and negative.
