Care for Babies & Children

At Neurohealth our Chiropractors specialise in providing safe and gentle care for infants and children. Much of our adult posturual patterning, sporting coordination, neurological and organ development occurs during the first 10 years of our life. Our Chiropractors are experts in detecting and correcting any such issues that may be affecting your child using very gentle and safe techniques. Our chiropractors specialise in cranials, allergies & intolerances, retained primitive reflexes, poor immunity and behavioural issues in children.

We take the health of your child very seriously and as such we only use state of the art, non-invasive natural and effective techniques that both you and your child are comfortable with.

How we care for infants and children:

  • The first thing we do is get a thorough health and medical history to determine if your child may be helped with our care. If necessary we will refer your child to a more appropriate professional.
  • We then assess your child for any potential concerns with specific yet gentle tests focusing on things like immune function, digestive function, allergens, posture, cranial anatomy etc. Some of our testing is medical based and some is kinesiological and we often do this while your child gives you a hug on the table!
  • We then give you a full report of our findings and if you are happy with our recommendations we begin care.
  • We aim to make sure that your child can function at their genetic potential, making sure they have a sound foundation to build a healthy and happy life!

What are Retained Primitive Reflexes?

Primitive Reflexes are there from birth, hardwired into our brain for our survival. As our nervous system develops and other areas of the brain begin to come online, these reflexes should ideally go away. However, this is not always the case and subsequently our brain biochemistry remains unbalanced. For children this can result in symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, learning difficulties, co-ordination problems or bedwetting, just to name a few. These reflexes can also be addressed in adults who also experience anxiety and unexplained moodiness.The correction of these reflexes is very gentle, most children dont even notice that it’s happening. It mainly involves gentle cranial corrections done while the child is laying down (or even in Mum or Dad’s arms).

Our Chiropractor Dr. Jessica Hambly has extensive experience and training in detecting and treating retained primitive reflexes in both children and adults. For more information on primitive reflexes please click here.
