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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you're concerned about your child's health and development, or just want to make sure their body is functioning as it should, book an appointment at Connect Chiropractic.
