Babies and Children
Chiropractic 4 Kids – C4K
At our office with children we use a variety of different techniques which we modify to their age, body shape, size and their comfort levels. These techniques include massage, mobilisations, stretching, activator and fingertip pressure chiropractic adjustments. We explain everything to you both and do things with a step by step approach. We believe your first two appointments are the best opportunity for us to build a comfortable long term relationship and make your child feel comfortable with your practitioner. It’s a fun experience for kids with a variety of toys, games and entertainment and rewards for them to have access to on each visit.
