Chiropractic for Babies and Children.

Supporting Healthy Development from Day One

From birth through every stage of childhood, your child’s body goes through rapid growth and development. At Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale, we offer safe, gentle and age-appropriate chiropractic care to support your child’s health and wellbeing naturally.

Whether it’s your baby’s first few weeks or your child’s early school years, chiropractic care can help address common issues and support optimal nervous system function — laying the foundation for lifelong wellness.

👶 Why Chiropractic for Babies?

The birth process, even in smooth deliveries, can place pressure on a baby’s spine and nervous system. In the early months, your baby’s body is developing rapidly, and imbalances can sometimes lead to:

  • Feeding or latching difficulties

  • Colic and excessive crying

  • Reflux or digestive discomfort

  • Sleep challenges

  • Torticollis (head tilt) or flat head syndrome

Our chiropractors use gentle, low-force techniques specifically designed for infants — often using no more pressure than you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato.

🧒 Why Chiropractic for Children?

As kids grow, they experience falls, carry heavy school bags, and spend more time on screens — all of which can affect their posture and spinal alignment. Chiropractic care can help support:

  • Healthy posture and spinal development

  • Concentration and sleep

  • Coordination and balance

  • Recovery from injuries or growth-related aches

  • Conditions such as scoliosis, growing pains, or ear infections

At Align and Restore, we create a calm and child-friendly environment where your little one can feel comfortable and supported during care.

❤️ Safe, Family-Focused Care in Pascoe Vale

Your child’s comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our chiropractors are trained in pediatric-specific techniques and take the time to listen, assess thoroughly, and explain everything in a way you can trust.

We work closely with families to ensure every child receives care that’s tailored to their age, stage, and unique needs.
