What families come to us about

Colic Long spells of crying in a baby who is otherwise feeding and growing. A chiropractor assesses whether tension or restricted movement may be contributing, and refers on where the cause looks medical. Persistent crying should also be seen by your clinic. 88 practices Reflux Frequent bringing up of feeds, arching or discomfort after feeding. A chiropractor looks at whether posture and muscle tension are playing a part. Reflux can have medical causes and should be assessed by your doctor or clinic. 87 practices Difficulty feeding A baby who struggles to latch, tires quickly, or feeds well on one side only. A chiropractor assesses physical factors such as neck movement and jaw tension, working with your lactation consultant or clinic. 81 practices Unsettled or poor sleep A baby or child who settles poorly or wakes frequently. A chiropractor assesses whether physical discomfort may be part of it. Sleep has many causes, and your clinic or doctor is the right place to start. 80 practices Head shape concerns Flattening on one side or at the back of a baby’s head, often alongside a preference for turning one way. Early assessment matters. Marked or worsening changes should also be seen by a paediatrician. 68 practices Neck stiffness A baby who holds their head to one side, or an older child with a stiff or sore neck. A chiropractor assesses movement and muscle tension, and refers on where something else is indicated. 89 practices Growing pains Aching in the legs, often in the evening, in an otherwise well child. A chiropractor assesses joint movement and posture, and looks for other explanations that need a doctor. 72 practices Headaches Recurring headaches in a child or teenager. A chiropractor assesses neck movement and posture as possible contributors. New, severe or changing headaches need medical assessment first. 89 practices Back or neck pain Back or neck pain in a child or teenager — often linked to schoolbags, screen posture, sport or a growth spurt. A chiropractor assesses movement, posture and the surrounding muscles. 91 practices Posture concerns Rounded shoulders, uneven hips, or a habit of sitting or standing to one side. A chiropractor assesses how a child moves and what may be reinforcing the pattern. 86 practices Sports injuries Strains, sprains and overuse injuries from school and club sport. A chiropractor assesses the injury, advises on load and recovery, and refers on where imaging or a specialist is needed. 82 practices Pregnancy discomfort Low back, pelvic or hip discomfort during pregnancy, and the sciatic pain many women get in later pregnancy. A chiropractor assesses posture and pelvic movement, using techniques adapted for pregnancy. 91 practices
