All of our chiropractors have a master’s degree in chiropractic from the University of Johannesburg. Along with manipulation and mobilization, we use techniques such as dry needling, massage and taping, helping patients of all ages and conditions live a happier, pain free lifestyle.
We can help with the treatment of conditions experienced by babies after normal or traumatic birth.
We also assess and treat babies through during their exciting period of rapid growth.
Baby conditions
Babies undergo quite a bit of stress through the birthing process before they enter this world. Traumatic birth combined with abnormal uterus positioning can lead to spinal misalignments resulting in:
Colic
Reflux
Difficulty latching
Irritability
Difficulty sleeping
Asymmetrical crawling or rolling
As your baby grows they will continue to test the limits of their surroundings, it is important to check if their busy bodies are growing in the correct alignment.
In the treatment session we will do a full spinal assessment of your baby and child as well as check developmental milestones. Chiropractic treatment for babies and kids differs greatly to that of adults, we use a soft fingertip pressure over the affected area in order to relax stiff joints and stimulate the nervous system.
Along with the treatment you will get some exercises or activities that you can do with your children at home.
