Chiropractic for Babies and Children

Chiropractic care can be wonderful for people of all ages - including tiny newborns, toddlers and children and teens. Many people wonder why a baby would benefit from chiropractic care and if you think of chiropractic as only being about bad backs, that’s not surprising! However, chiropractic care is not only limited to pain relief. It is concerned with how the nervous system and musculoskeletal system function together. As the nervous system controls everything that happens in your body, chiropractic care is as important for babies and children as it is for adults.

Chiropractic has an excellent safety record and techniques are either adapted or specific techniques for children are used. For example, in babies only the lightest touch is used and many newborns will happily sleep through their adjustments. As children grow, Anna will select the technique most suited to them and always aims to make their visit comfortable and enjoyable. Anna is the only chiropractor in the East Riding and York areas to have completed an 18 module course and exam on paediatric and pregnancy care. This means she is certified by the Academy Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) and each year she completes continuing professional development (CPD) on an aspect of paediatric care.
