- Postural training

Paediatric Chiropractor FAQs
What does a paediatric chiropractor do?
A paediatric chiropractor assesses and supports a child’s spine, posture, muscles and movement patterns. They use gentle, age-appropriate techniques to help improve comfort, mobility and overall musculoskeletal function.
Is chiropractic safe for children?
Yes. Chiropractic care for children is considered safe when performed by a trained paediatric chiropractor. Techniques are extremely gentle, modified for a child’s size and comfort, and non-invasive.
Why would a child see a paediatric chiropractor?
Children may see a paediatric chiropractor for issues such as posture concerns, growing pains, sports injuries, neck or back pain, mobility issues, headaches, or tension from school and recreational activities.
Can chiropractic help with posture in children?
Yes. Paediatric chiropractors can help improve a child’s posture by addressing joint and muscle imbalances, offering strengthening exercises and giving advice on school ergonomics.
Does chiropractic help with growing pains?
Chiropractic care may help reduce growing pains by easing muscle tension, supporting joint mobility and improving overall movement mechanics.
How gentle is the treatment?
Very gentle. Paediatric chiropractic uses lighter pressure and slower techniques than adult care, always adjusted to a child’s age and comfort level.
What happens at a child’s first chiropractic visit?
A first visit includes a gentle assessment, posture and movement review, parent discussion, and safe, age-specific treatment if appropriate. Parents are included in every step.
What age can a child see a chiropractor?
Children can see a paediatric chiropractor at any age — from infancy through to teenage years.
