Paediatric Chiropractic Care in Canberra
Children’s bodies go through rapid growth and development, from infancy through to adolescence. Posture, movement patterns and spinal development can be influenced by daily activities, growth spurts, school, sport and general physical development.
At Capital Chiropractic Centre, we provide gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care for children at our Braddon clinic. Care is adapted to suit a child’s age, size, development stage and individual needs.
How Paediatric Chiropractic Care May Help
Paediatric chiropractic care focuses on supporting normal movement and musculoskeletal function. Care may assist with:
Postural strain from school or device use
Muscular tension or stiffness
Spinal and joint mobility concerns
Sports-related aches and injuries
General musculoskeletal discomfort
Chiropractic care for children uses light, low-force techniques and is always tailored to the individual child.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Appointment
A paediatric chiropractic appointment at our Braddon chiropractic clinic typically includes:
A detailed health history provided by a parent or guardian
Observation of posture, movement and function
Clear explanation of findings and recommended care
Gentle chiropractic techniques suited to the child’s age
Parents are encouraged to ask questions and remain involved throughout the appointment.
Techniques Used in Paediatric Chiropractic Care
Paediatric chiropractic care at Capital Chiropractic Centre commonly incorporates Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT). SOT is a gentle and precise chiropractic approach that uses light pressure and specific positioning to support spinal balance and nervous system function. It is particularly suitable for infants and children due to its low-force nature.
Care may also include gentle mobilisation and age-appropriate soft tissue techniques where clinically appropriate. All techniques are adapted to a child’s size, development stage and comfort.
