PEADIATRIC CARE
Gentle, age-appropriate care for babies, children, and teenagers
Gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care for babies, children, and teenagers
At Seib Health Performance, we provide gentle chiropractic care tailored to babies, children, and teenagers. Care is individualised, age-appropriate, and focused on assessing and supporting movement, posture, and musculoskeletal function in growing bodies.
All care is delivered in a calm, supportive environment, with clear communication and parental involvement at every stage.
Our Approach
Paediatric chiropractic care is not the same as adult care. Treatment is gentle, adaptable, and guided by a thorough assessment of movement, posture, and development.
​
Care focuses on:
-
Understanding how a child moves and functions
-
Supporting age-appropriate development
-
Gentle, low-force techniques
-
Education for parents around movement, positioning, and daily activities
​
We work collaboratively with parents and other healthcare providers when appropriate.
Care for Babies, Children and Teenagers
Parents may seek paediatric chiropractic care for a range of reasons related to comfort, movement, and development.
​
Common reasons include:
-
General unsettledness or difficulty settling in babies
-
Feeding or positional preferences (such as favouring one side)
-
Head shape concerns related to positioning
-
Tension through the neck or body
-
Postural changes or asymmetries
-
Growing pains or activity-related aches
-
Sports-related strains or movement restrictions
-
Postural fatigue related to school, study, or device use
​
Care is always tailored to the individual child and may include gentle hands-on techniques, movement-based support, and age-appropriate strategies.
Primitive Reflex Assessment & Exercise Rehab
Primitive reflexes are early motor patterns present in infancy that typically change as the nervous system matures.
​
In some cases, a chiropractor may assess movement patterns that include primitive reflex activity as part of a broader physical assessment.
​
Where appropriate, care may include:
-
Primitive reflex screening as part of movement assessment
-
Individualised, age-appropriate exercises
-
Support for coordination, posture, and movement efficiency
​
Any exercises provided are designed to be practical, safe, and appropriate for the child’s developmental stage.
