Chiropractic Care for Peak Performance

We understand the dedication and passion young athletes bring to their sport. Whether they're on the soccer field, the basketball court, or the gymnastics mat, their bodies are constantly challenged. You, as a parent, want to support their athletic journey while keeping them healthy and injury-free. That's where chiropractic care for young athletes can play a vital role.

Here at Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic, we specialise in gentle chiropractic care for child athletes (ages 8-14), offering a safe and natural approach to optimise their performance and prevent injuries. Many parents wonder if chiropractic care is safe for their young athletes. The answer is yes! Our chiropractors use gentle, age-appropriate techniques specifically tailored for the growing bodies of young athletes.

How can Chiropractic care help your
young athlete?

  • Enhanced Performance: Proper spinal alignment can improve coordination, flexibility, range of motion, and balance. This can lead to better technique, faster reaction times, and overall athletic performance.

  • Reduced Risk of Injury: Chiropractic care can help identify and address misalignments that may contribute to sports injuries. Regular adjustments can also improve recovery time from existing injuries.

  • Faster Recovery After Training: Chiropractic care can help improve circulation and reduce muscle tension, promoting faster recovery after intense training sessions.

  • Improved Balance and Coordination: Chiropractic adjustments can address imbalances in the nervous system that can affect coordination and balance, both crucial for athletic success.

  • Enhanced Focus and Concentration: Discomfort and misalignments can disrupt sleep and focus. Chiropractic care can promote better sleep and a clearer mind, allowing your young athlete to perform at their best.

  • Reduced Pain and Discomfort: Growing bodies and rigorous training can lead to aches and pains. Chiropractic care can address these issues, promoting pain relief and better overall well-being.

We know how important it is for your young athlete to stay healthy and avoid injuries.  We're here to support you in ensuring they can participate in their chosen sport with confidence.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT

At Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic, we understand that bringing your young athlete for a chiropractic appointment can be a new experience. We want to assure you that our process is designed to put both you and your child at ease. Here's a glimpse into what to expect:

  • Open Communication: We'll begin with a detailed conversation about your child's health history, including any sports they participate in and any concerns you may have. We encourage open communication and answer any questions you or your child may have in a way that is easy for them to understand.

  • Interactive Examination: Our chiropractor will perform a gentle, hands-on examination with your young athlete's consent. We use techniques that are safe and comfortable for growing bodies.

  • Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on the findings from the consultation and examination, we'll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your young athlete's specific needs and goals. This may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, along with recommendations for stretches, exercises, or other lifestyle modifications to support their athletic performance.

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

  • Focus on Partnership: We believe in partnering with you and your young athlete to create a personalised plan for optimal performance and injury prevention.

What makes US different?

We establish rapport with young athletes by creating a positive environment where they can discuss their goals and concerns freely. Through a collaborative approach with parents and athletes, we develop personalised treatment plans aligned with their needs and goals, and we may involve other healthcare providers as needed. Using age-specific techniques, we provide gentle adjustments tailored to young athletes' growing bodies. Empowering young athletes, we offer age-appropriate education and tools to take charge of their well-being, including stretches, exercises, and proper warmup and cool-down routines.
