welcome to a healthier start for your little one!

Congratulations on the arrival of your precious newborn! 

This is such a joyous time, but we understand it can also be a period of adjustment and even some unexpected challenges. Especially if your baby is experiencing discomfort, excessive crying, or feeding difficulties, it can be stressful for both you and your little one.

At Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic, we specialise in gentle chiropractic care for infants, offering a safe and natural approach to support their healthy development. Many parents wonder "Is chiropractic care safe for my newborn?" The answer is yes! Chiropractic techniques used for infants are incredibly gentle and tailored specifically to their delicate bodies.

How can Chiropractic care help
your infant?

  • Reduced Need for Medication: Chiropractic care may help address the root cause of discomfort, potentially reducing the need for medication.

  • Promoting Healthy Development: Proper alignment can contribute to optimal growth and development for your baby.

  • Stronger Immune System and Fewer Illnesses: Chiropractic care may support a healthy immune system, potentially reducing the frequency and severity of ear infections and other childhood illnesses.

  • Improved Sleep and Feeding: Adjustments may help ease discomfort, leading to better sleep patterns and potentially improved feeding experiences.

  • More Comfortable Car Travel: Chiropractic care may address misalignments that can contribute to car seat fussiness.

  • Reduced Stress for Everyone: When your baby feels better, the whole family benefits from a calmer and more positive environment.

  • Improved Coordination and Movement: Chiropractic care can address restrictions that may be hindering your baby's development.

What to expect during your appointment

At Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic, we understand that a healthy baby means a happier family. That's why we take a holistic approach to care, focusing on both your baby's well-being and yours as parents. Here's a glimpse into your initial visits:

  • Comprehensive Intake: We'll begin with a detailed conversation about your baby's health history, including feeding habits, sleep patterns, and any concerns you may have. We'll also discuss your own health and well-being, as parental stress can sometimes contribute to infant discomfort.

  • Detailed Physical and Developmental Assessment: Our chiropractor will perform a gentle, hands-on examination to assess your baby's overall health, alignment, and development.

  • Collaborative Approach: Based on the findings from the consultation and examination, we'll work together to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your baby's specific needs. This may include:

    • Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Our chiropractor utilises gentle, infant-specific techniques to address misalignments that may be contributing to your baby's discomfort.

    • Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations: We may suggest dietary modifications for both you and your baby, or recommend ergonomic changes to your daily routines to promote optimal comfort and well-being.

    • Supplementation (if needed): In some cases, supplementation may be recommended to support you and your baby's overall health.

  • Open Communication: We believe in open communication and will answer any questions you may have throughout the entire process. Your baby's well-being is our top priority, and we want you to feel fully informed and involved in their care.

Additional Considerations:

  • The initial appointment typically takes longer than follow-up visits.

  • We recommend bringing a comfortable blanket or feeding supplies for your baby.

  • We are a family-friendly clinic, and siblings are always welcome!

What makes US different?

Our primary focus is on identifying the root cause of your baby's discomfort rather than merely alleviating their symptoms. Our techniques are gentle and specifically tailored for infants. We take a holistic approach, offering a comprehensive plan that incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations alongside gentle chiropractic adjustments. We work collaboratively with your paediatrician or other healthcare providers to ensure seamless care. Finally, we prioritise empowering parents to provide the best possible care for your little one.
