Paediatrics
At Kardinya Chiropractic we provide chiropractic care for everyone of all ages, including newborns and children. We are here to support your child so that they can thrive and grow.
​
Infants & Newborns
Our chiropractors assess your baby for any misalignments and corrects them with an extremely gentle touch and precise adjustment, no more pressure than you would use on an eyeball.
Children
We assess milestones and development of the infant/child ensuring they are hitting milestones at the right times. As your child goes through various stages of development they will experiences falls, bumps and bruises which are normal. At their chiropractic visits we will ensure proper posture and a foundation that is structurally and functionally sound, making crawling, walking and other milestones easier to achieve.

Is Chiropractic care safe for babies?
At Kardinya Chiropractic, we ensure that infants and young children never experience "clicking, cracking, or popping" during their care. We focus on gentle, highly specific techniques tailored for little bodies. Our approach includes low-force methods, such as sacro-occipital technique (SOT), to delicately relieve tension and address any torsion patterns that might be affecting your child's soft tissues and joint movement.​
In 2019, an Australian review assessed the safety of chiropractic care for children under 12. The review found that 99.7% of the 21,824 parents who participated in the Safe Care Victoria survey reported positive experiences with chiropractic for their children, with no evidence of harm detected. Below the images, you'll find a summary of the Safer Care Victoria (SCV) independent review on chiropractic spinal manipulation for children under 12.
