👶 Chiropractic Care for Babies — Gentle Support for Healthy Growth

Chiropractic care for infants focuses on the spine, nervous system, and muscles to support natural growth and comfort. During birth and early development, babies can experience tension or mild imbalances that may affect feeding, sleep, or movement.

Using gentle, precise techniques, pediatric chiropractors help ease tension, improve mobility, and support nervous system function — promoting better sleep, feeding, and overall comfort.

It’s safe, non-invasive, and tailored to each baby’s needs, helping them move, grow, and thrive naturally. 🌿

🌸 Postpartum Chiropractic Care 🌸
Your body works hard during pregnancy, and caring for your baby adds new physical demands. Lifting, feeding, and carrying can all place stress on your back, hips, and shoulders.
Chiropractic care can help:
✨ Improve joint mobility and balance
✨ Reduce tension and muscle strain
✨ Support posture and core stability
✨ Enhance comfort and daily function
When your body feels and moves better, it helps you care for your little one with ease. 💕

It's been mentioned a lot that it is hard to get to a clinic or centre to have your baby weighed or other measurements taken.

Every Wednesday we will be running a measurements clinic. Get in touch and bring your baby in and we will check weight, length and head circumference.

This is a free of charge service but you must book a slot.

Why We Love Vibration at NGCO Clinic

Here’s why we use it so often in our clinic 👇
💥Stimulates the Nervous System:
Vibration sends gentle signals through your body that activate your nerves, helping improve communication between your brain and muscles.
🌀Enhances Circulation & Recovery:
Increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues, reducing muscle tension and speeding recovery.
🧠Improves Brain-Body Connection:
Vibration helps re-train your body’s sensory system, improving coordination, balance, and overall function.
🕺Boosts Flexibility & Mobility:
It helps loosen tight muscles and joints — perfect before or after an adjustment or workout.
💆‍♀️Reduces Stress & Promotes Relaxation:
Many patients feel an immediate sense of calm and lightness.

Pregnancy Chiropractic

Over the next couple of weeks we will be revisiting some questions about the clinic and the people we treat.

Pregnancy places a lot of strain on the musculoskeletal system. With women working longer into pregnancy and often juggling family and work often aches and pains are accepted as normal. Although low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, pain between the shoulder blades etc etc are experienced a lot in pregnancy the need not be!

Why We Use Dry Needling

Ever wonder why your chiropractor might recommend dry needling? 👇

Dry needling is a safe and effective technique used to target tight, irritated, or overworked muscles — also known as trigger points. By inserting a thin, sterile needle into these areas, we can help:

✅ Reduce muscle tension & pain
✅ Improve blood flow and healing
✅ Restore normal movement
✅ Calm the nervous system

Think of it as a reset button for your muscles — helping your body move and feel better, faster. 💪

It’s not acupuncture — it’s a modern, evidence-informed treatment aimed at improving your musculoskeletal health and supporting your chiropractic adjustments for longer-lasting results.

Move better. Feel better. Live better.

Family Appointments

Over the next couple of weeks we will be revisiting some questions about the clinic and the people we treat.

Often families come into NGCO for chiropractic appointments together. Each treatment is tailored to the person receiving it. Babies are not mini adults. They are unique in their neurology and musculoskeletal structure. Paediatric care is concerned with both hands on treatment and home care advice and information.

Parents are able to be adjusted whilst their children play. We have lots of toys and books.

We're professional but not formal. Snacks and noise are welcome.

04/11/2025

If you have an appointment with a provider for a frenulotomy (tongue tie division) which is the procedure to release the tie surgically, there are a couple of things we recommend asking.

1. Before and after photos

It's really useful to be able to see how the frenulum was prior to the procedure and how the wound appears immediately afterwards. This also helps parents to visualise the structures discussed, the procedure itself and manage expectations about healing.

A lot of providers do this routinely but those that don't should be happy to oblige.

2. After care procedures

Although some professionals report no perceived need to administer after care stretches or exercises this is largely because the reason for doing so is misunderstood. Tongue ties have often lead to abnormal tongue function / suck mechanics etc and therefore, aside from preventing total re-attachment, after care advice on stretching etc is to offer myofunctional therapy - rehabilitation for the structures involved so that new, positive movement patterns can begin to occur.

2. Advice on breast / bottle feeding positions

Just like lots of things, best advice for feeding has changed over time. Your provider should be able to give you up to date information and suggestions to optimise feeding whether that be breast or bottle.

3. Winding

Sometimes a tweak to your technique or a suggestion of something different to try can make all the difference.

💪 Why We Use Rehab Exercises in Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic isn’t just about adjustments — it’s about helping your body move and stay at its best. 🦴✨

That’s where rehab exercises come in! After we help restore movement and reduce restrictions, we use targeted exercises to:
✅ Strengthen supporting muscles
✅ Improve posture and stability
✅ Prevent recurring injuries
✅ Enhance mobility and function
✅ Make your adjustments last longer

Think of rehab exercises as the “glue” that helps your body maintain those improvements — retraining your muscles and joints to move efficiently so you can stay strong, stable, and pain-free. 🙌

Movement is medicine, and consistency is key. 🧠💪

The Neonate (babies from birth to one month of age)

Over the next couple of weeks we will be revisiting some questions about the clinic and the people we treat.

Today we are talking about newborns and babies under one month.

Many parents bring newborns into the clinic for a check up after birth. That's because birth can be a lot! Whether it was a vaginal delivery without intervention, instrument assisted (forceps, ventouse etc) or a c-section we offer expertise in assessing these babies.

Infant feeding issues are often evident from birth. We assess tongue, jaw and neck function checking for tongue ties and other issue affecting feeding whether breast or bottle fed. We are delighted to be able to work along side some amazing health care providers in the region from lactation consultants, midwives, health visitors, tongue tie division providers to myofunctional therapists.

At NGCO egos are left at the door. We work as a team to optimise the care that all families receive at the clinic. With practitioners who have over 20 years in practice to newer chiropractors, we all have a common interest in optimising the health of our paediatric community.
