All births—whether long or short, natural, assisted, or cesarean—place significant pressure on your baby’s cranial bones, spine, and nervous system. Even your baby’s position in the womb can influence their spinal alignment and overall function.

GIVE YOUR CHILD THE BEST START WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

We believe every child deserves the best possible start to life. That’s why we recommend having your baby or child checked by an experienced children’s chiropractor from birth.

Our newborn and paediatric chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and specifically tailored to each stage of development. By reducing interference in the spine and nervous system, we help support your child’s natural ability to heal, grow, and thrive.

NEWBORN CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Infancy is a time of rapid growth and development. That’s why it’s so important that the connection between your baby’s brain and body is functioning optimally—helping them reach their developmental milestones and adapt smoothly to life outside the womb.

 

Parents bring their newborns to Connect Chiropractic for a variety of common concerns, including:

  • Feeding and latch issues

  • Head-turning preference or flat head shape

  • Tongue-ties and lip-ties

  • Digestive discomfort and colic

  • Disturbed sleep patterns

  • Recurrent sickness or immune challenges

 

Your baby can’t tell you what’s wrong—but their body often can. Using gentle, safe, and specific chiropractic adjustments, we assess your baby’s nervous system, spine, and cranial-dural system for areas of tension or interference. By restoring proper balance and function, we help your child’s body perform and adapt as it’s meant to.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN

At Connect Chiropractic, we’re committed to helping create a nurturing, supportive environment for Christchurch families. As part of our paediatric chiropractic care, we can also guide you with simple neuro-developmental exercises—designed to strengthen your connection with your child and support their growth and wellbeing between visits.

From our Ferrymead and Central City clinics, we proudly care for families across Christchurch, including Lyttelton, Redcliffs, New Brighton, Burwood, Sumner, Woolston, and beyond.
