Paediatric Chiropractic in Ontario, London
As a parent, it’s hard to see your little one uncomfortable, unsettled, or struggling with sleep and feeding patterns. Many families also wonder if falls, sports, heavy backpacks, or long hours on devices may be affecting posture and movement. At Adelaide Family Chiropractic, we offer gentle paediatric chiropractic care focused on how your child’s spine is moving and how their nervous system is functioning.
Our approach to caring for kids is calm, respectful, and age-appropriate. We work with you, explain what we see, and never rush a child who needs time to feel comfortable.
Why Families Book a Visit
Many patients bring their children in for a check when they notice:
- Preference to feed on one side or head-turning restrictions
- General tension after birth or early developmental strain
- Posture concerns and growing pains
- Discomfort after falls or sports
- Headaches or neck tension in older kids
What to Expect at Your Child’s Visit
Your visit begins with a conversation about birth history, milestones, daily habits, and what you are noticing at home. Dr. Overton or Dr. Fonti will then assess posture and gentle movement patterns. Adjustments for infants use very light pressure, often described as fingertip pressure. Older children may receive gentle, modified techniques based on their size and comfort.
Parents stay with their child during the visit. Often babies and young children are more comfortable being adjusted while lying on top of a parent. If a child is nervous, we slow down, explain, and adapt. The goal is to make the experience positive, clear, and respectful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?
Chiropractic care for babies and children uses very gentle, age-appropriate techniques. At our practice, we review your child’s health history and adapt the approach to their age, size, and comfort. We also explain what we are doing in plain language so you can make informed decisions.
How should we prepare for our child’s first chiropractic visit?
Dress your child in comfortable, easy-to-move clothing. A parent or caregiver stays in the room during the exam, and we take time to help your child feel at ease. If you have any relevant notes from a recent health visit, you are welcome to bring them.
