Building a Bright Future for Your Toddler 

Welcome to Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic!

We understand the joys and challenges that come with raising a toddler or preschooler. This energetic and curious stage can also bring concerns about development, behaviour, and overall well-being. You may wonder, "Can chiropractic care benefit my active little one?" The answer is absolutely!

Here at Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic, we specialise in gentle chiropractic care for toddlers and preschoolers, offering a safe and natural approach to support their healthy development. Many parents wonder if chiropractic care is safe for their young child. Our chiropractors use gentle and playful techniques specifically tailored for the growing bodies of toddlers and preschoolers.

How can Chiropractic care help
your busy toddler or preschooler?

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

  • Optimising Growth and Development: Regular chiropractic adjustments can help ensure proper alignment of the spine and nervous system, which is crucial for optimal physical and neurological development in your toddler or preschooler. This can have a positive impact on their coordination, balance, and overall physical function.

  • Supporting a Healthy Immune System: Chiropractic care may support a healthy immune system by improving nerve function throughout the body. This can potentially reduce the frequency and severity of ear infections and other childhood illnesses, especially as they head into preschool where exposure to germs increases.

  • Promoting Better Sleep: By addressing discomfort and misalignments that can disrupt sleep, chiropractic care can help your toddler or preschooler sleep more soundly. This leads to better sleep for you too!

  • Reduced Stress Levels for All: When your child feels better and experiences fewer aches and pains, the whole family benefits from a calmer and more positive environment.

  • Enhanced Coordination and Balance: Chiropractic adjustments can address restrictions in the spine and nervous system that may be hindering your child's physical development and coordination. Chiropractic care can also improve sensory integration, which is important for your child's ability to process information from their senses and use it to move around their environment.

We know how frustrating it can be when your child is struggling,  whether it's tantrums, developmental delays, or sleep issues.
