Paediatric Chiropractic in Riverton

calm child adjustment Everyone loves watching kids have fun—but their high level of activity makes them prone to falls and injury. It’s important to care for injuries as they arise, before problems become chronic. At Tassell Chiropractic, we provide gentle paediatric care to keep babies, children, and teens in maximum health so they can flourish and embrace every opportunity.

Nipping Health Issues in the Bud

Chiropractic care for kids is usually more cost and time efficient than when adjusting rigid adult spines, where problems have set in. We can fix problems quickly and easily. Adjustments minimise the damage caused by falls and injuries.

We recommend regular wellness care for all kids. However, there are key ages when it’s especially important to come in for adjustments. Children are more likely to have spinal problems immediately following birth, when learning to crawl and walk, in the middle of huge growth spurts and puberty, and after physical trauma like sports injuries.

Putting Your Child’s Comfort First

Care is extremely comfortable for babies and children at every stage. We’ve adjusted our own babies when they were less than a week old. We adapt adjustments based on your child’s age and needs. Very light touch is best for infants and toddlers, while we give teens manual adjustments like an adult would receive.

What to Expect

During an initial consultation, we’ll go through your child’s history, followed by an examination. We usually give the first adjustment that same day.

The frequency of appointments depends on your child’s age, activity levels, and condition. Kids always require fewer visits than an adult with a similar condition, as their bodies bounce back quicker from injury.

Free Spinal Check for Kids

Both locations offer a free spinal check for babies, kids, and teens. Take advantage of our thorough examination and honest feedback so you know what steps you can take to help your child succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age can my child see a chiropractor?

We see babies, children and teenagers. Any care provided is adapted to your child’s age, size and stage of development.

Is chiropractic care gentle for babies and children?

Care is adapted to each child. For babies and younger children, this may involve very light-touch techniques, while older children and teenagers may receive different approaches where recommended.

When should my child see a chiropractor?

Some parents arrange an assessment if their child has discomfort, reduced movement, postural concerns, or has had a fall or sports injury. Others choose to have their child checked during stages of growth and development.

The first visit includes a discussion about your child’s health history and an examination where appropriate. Your chiropractor will explain their findings and recommendations before any care begins.

This depends on your child’s age, needs, health history and assessment findings. Your chiropractor will explain any recommended care plan clearly, and you can decide what feels right for your family.
