Birth is your baby's first big journey, and it's a full body experience that shapes their early development.

From head moulding to nervous system activation, the way your little one enters the world can influence feeding, sleep, comfort and how their tiny body moves in the first few weeks.

Every baby's birth story is unique and so is the way their body adapts afterward. That's why newborn checks can be so helpful, it gives us an opportunity to assess alignment, tension, reflexes and how comfortably your baby can feed, turn and settle.

If you're noticing feeding problems, side preferences, head shape changes, reflux or colic behaviors, gentle chiropractic support can make a meaningful difference.

At Koa Chiropractic, Dr Katherine Valkenburg focuses on helping babies feel comfortable, move freely and thrive from the start.

Posture & Pain: The hidden connection

Did you know that posture might be one of the biggest contributors to your neck pain, back pain, headaches and muscle tension?
Posture isn't just about how you look, it directly affects your spine, joints and nervous system.

Bad posture makes your body work harder, leading to:
•Muscle tension
•Higher stress load on joints
•Nerve irritation
•Fatigue

The good news is posture can change! And the earlier you do something about it, the better. Chiropractic helps restore alignment, reduce tension and support healthy movement to allow your body to function at it's best!

If you're dealing with ongoing neck pain, back pain, headaches, or discomfort from sitting all day, your Posture might be the missing link!

The story behind the name: Koa Chiropractic

When I started planning for my practice in Bloemfontein, I knew I wanted a name that meant more than just Chiropractic care- I wanted something that carried heart and purpose.

Koa means "brave one". It was also the name of my beloved basset who crossed the rainbow bridge just as this dream began to take shape. His gentle, brave spirit reminded me daily to take the leap, build something meaningful, compassionate and full of care.

Koa also stands for Keeping Optimal Alignment:
Not just in the spine, but in life- balance, wellness and courage through every season.

Here's to the brave ones, the families, mom's, athletes and little ones who trust me to help them move and feel their best.

This is pediatric chiropractic…not what you think or have been shown by others. It’s becoming popular for social media influencers to try and score likes, comments, or shares by rage-baiting about chiropractic. They’ll find a random chiropractor with no pediatric training posting inflammatory videos to incite the same type of engagement for their own wannabe social media presence, and use it to denounce all of chiropractic. We’re tired of the bad faith discussions around this profession. Chiropractic is not about cracking a spine, and it’s not about pain relief, either. Chiropractic is about the relationship between the spine and nervous system. If the trauma we experience from the pushing/pulling on our neck during birth, to the accumulation of physical/chemical/emotional stress throughout life causes misalignment/restrictions in the spine it will create adverse tension within the nervous system and interfere with how our body can regulate and coordinate function, making our body less capable of adapting to the changes we experience every day. Does this contribute to pain? Sure. Does it contribute to the most common issues we see in children like breastfeeding, colic, torticollis, reflux, etc? Absolutely. But it also make it harder for us to go about life expressing health at our fullest potential. This week a mom shared with us that since starting care for her 4 year old she noticed she’s sleeping better, less emotionally volatile, and overall happier. Of course she is! Our bodies work better well-adjusted…and it’s gentle, safe, and effective for all ages!

✨ Pregnancy chiropractic care is more than pain relief ✨

It’s about balance for your spine, your pelvis, and your nervous system.
As your baby grows, your body changes daily — your centre of gravity shifts, hormones loosen joints, and muscles work overtime to keep you upright.

Gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic care helps to:
🤰 Improve pelvic alignment and comfort
🌿 Support space for baby to move and settle optimally
💤 Ease tension for better sleep
💨 Encourage smoother movement and posture
💖 Help your body prepare for birth and recovery

It’s not just about easing pain — it’s about helping your body adapt beautifully to the incredible changes of pregnancy.

💧Wellness Wednesday: Hydration Reminder💧
Your body is mostly water, and so is your spine!

When you're dehydrated, your spinal discs lose flexibility and shock absorption, your muscles fatigue faster and even your joints can feel stiff.

Staying hydrated helps:
💧 Keep your spine and joints cushioned
💧 Support muscle recovery and energy
💧 Improve focus and circulation

Sip steadily throughout the day and your body will thank you!

✨ Development drives growth! ✨
In adults, structure determines function: when your spine moves well, your body can function at its best.
But in babies, it’s the other way around. Function determines structure. How they move, roll, crawl, and explore literally shapes how their little bodies develop! 💫

That’s why supporting babies through gentle chiropractic care can make such a difference. By helping their nervous system and joints move freely, we support healthy milestones and balanced growth from the very beginning 🍼💛
