Expectant Mums
Our clinic has a special interest in pregnant mothers and paediatric care. During pregnancy a mother’s body goes through various changes to adapt for the growth of her new baby. Even after the baby is born the mother’s body is readjusting and can take some time to return to a pain free state. Taking care of a newborn is stressful enough, so the less the new mum has to worry about the better it is for her and the baby.
Pregnant mums can suffer from various conditions which our chiropractors can help with such as:
Upper back and neck pain
Low back pain / hip pain
Swelling
Nerve Pain
Post pregnancy pain
Babies
The birthing process can be a traumatic experience for a newborn. Sometimes in delivery substantial forces are applied to the neck and upper body (e.g. forceps, suction, C-section) with potential for muscle strain or nerve damage. However the symptoms can be overlooked or not evident and misdiagnosis can occur, instead the babies is classified as ‘unsettled or fussy’. The chiropractors at Strathfield Chiropractic go through a thorough examination in which primitive reflexes, joint movement and head shape are assessed. Treatment with babies and newborns are gentle, safe and conservative. We also spend time explaining the parents so they know exactly what is going on.
Children
Children are very active as soon as they start walking, its hard to keep up with them! As they get older children start to participate in activities such as bike riding, skating, skipping etc, these activities may cause them to fall or injure themselves. Falling is a normal part of a child’s development as they learn to balance and co-ordinate themselves however all these subtle traumas can add up, which can impair a child’s spine and nerve function.
Another reason parents seek chiropractic care is for common childhood conditions such as recurrent ear infections, asthma, bed wetting etc however it is important to note a chiropractor does not specifically diagnose and treat these conditions or diseases. A chiropractor however can help with any spinal or nerve dysfunctions that may be causing these conditions discomfort or stress and to and improve overall body function.
Our children chiropractic care is gentle and modified specifically to accommodate for your child’s size and developmental stage. Each treatment is tailored and specific to your child and many of our parents report their children enjoy the treatment and look forward to their consultations.
