Transitioning from toddler age to early childhood and then into school, socialising and exploring our wider environment brings unique stressors for both kids and parents!
From learning to tie shoelaces and wearing uniforms, to adjusting to backpacks, new teachers or caregivers, classrooms, routines, and the demands of sitting still, reading, writing, and making new friends—these changes can be exciting and overwhelming for some children. During this stage of development, children are still developing their prefrontal cortex and the left side of their brain, which is responsible for:
Behaviour is always a window into the developing brain and nervous system. Kids starting school may experience issues with:
If you notice any of these signs in your child, then we highly recommend an Initial Consultation to discuss and thoroughly assess. At this first visit we take our time to listen and assess before explaining, with clarity, what is happening and why these symptoms are persisting.
The chiropractic care we provide for children is specifically modified to be supremely gentle and specific, and relevant to each individual child’s size, age and stage of development.
Chiropractic adjustments for kids look quite different to the way we adjust most adults – there’s no forceful movements, we use gentle neuro-tonal techniques that are individually tailored to each child to be comfortable and easy to receive. We will always take our time to first show and explain to you exactly what we are doing before proceeding with anything, to be sure you feel confident and well informed.
Please note that we do not provide any treatment or adjustments at the first visit (Initial Consultation). This is because we take very seriously the assessment and analysis piece of the puzzle that is our work. After your Initial Consultation your chiropractor will take time to review your case and study the findings of your scans and any other tests done so that they can give you the best explanation of results and recommend a truly tailored plan of care.
This also means that even if you are feeling unsure or apprehensive about chiropractic care for your child, you can rest assured that by booking an Initial Consultation you are only committing to a detailed discussion and assessment with one of our chiropractors. Only after you have had the results of your child’s assessment clearly explained to you at a follow-up visit will you be offered the opportunity to begin adjustments for your child.
If you still have questions, we’re here to answer them. Simply give our front desk a call! If you’re ready to book in, click below.

Schedule a time to consult with one of our extensively trained chiropractors and experience our incredibly refined and thorough neurostructural assessment. You’ll have the opportunity to speak with one of our friendly team members before you visit us, to ask any questions and ensure you’re fully informed as we get started with helping you and/or your family.
At your Initial Consultation we’ll take a deep dive into your health history, asking questions you’ve probably never been asked before as we seek to uncover the root cause, so that you will not only feel truly seen and heard, we’ll begin to find helpful answers. Our INSiGHT Scanning technology applies three unique scans which allow us to find and measure specific areas of imbalance and dysfunction within your nervous system. These state-of-the-art scans are a vital piece of the puzzle in achieving extraordinary results, and they are non-invasive and safe for all ages, from infants to elderly. We also have digital X-ray facilities onsite and available whenever clinically necessary.
Following your Initial Consultation, we’ll schedule a Report of Findings. At this appointment your chiropractor will provide a detailed explanation of your INSiGHT Scan findings and the results of any other images or tests, and help you to connect the dots from your history so that you ultimately understand why things are the way they are. We’ll present you with a tailored care plan that is designed to help you achieve the outcomes you desire, based upon the results of your initial assessment. At this point we’ll clearly explain all of the necessary details of what you need to do to get better, how long it will take and what it will cost. Within this conversation we are committed to finding a pathway forward that not only suits your healthcare needs, but your budget and calendar availability as well.
