Pediatrics

Chiropractic for children is a safe, natural approach to your children’s health.

Dr Adam Stewart has post-graduate training in paediatrics, and works in a specialist clinic for infants and children.

Spinal joint dysfunction often occurs as a result of the normal birth process.

The effect of this in infants can include:

  • Unsettled behaviour
  • Irritability
  • Sleep dysfunction
  • Head preference to one side
  • Head Asymmetry
  • Feeding difficulty including fussiness (arching, and side/side movements)
  • “Colic”
  • “Reflux”
  • Constipation

The effects of uncorrected spinal dysfunction can lead to health issues in older children:

  • Recurrent ear infections (otitis media)
  • Recurrent throat infections
  • Asthma
  • Irritability
  • Bed wetting (after age 4)
  • Headache
  • Constipation
  • Attention problems (including ADHD)
  • Unequal or turned feet
  • Unequal hips, shoulders, or skull

In addition we also commonly manage conditions such as:

  • Skin conditions e.g. eczema
  • Autism
  • Balance problems
  • Fine and gross motor skills (eg. Clumsiness, difficulty catching)
  • Reading and writing difficulty
  • Learning problems.
