✨ Is Your Baby Crawling Asymmetrically? Here’s What It Could Mean ✨

Today I had the sweetest 9-month-old in the practice - full of giggles, curiosit and a bit of a wonky crawl.
And no, the “wonky crawl” isn’t just a cute quirk - it can actually tell us a lot about how a little one’s body is functioning.

When a baby consistently crawls with one leg tucked, drags a leg, twists their body to one side, or uses one arm more than the other, it can be a sign of:

✔️ Mild muscle imbalance
✔️ Joint restriction (often in the hips, spine, or pelvis)
✔️ Delays in cross-body coordination
✔️ Compensation from an early movement pattern or tension from birth

Crawling is a big milestone because it helps wire the nervous system, supports brain development, and builds the foundation for later skills like standing, walking, and balance.

What can chiropractic care do?
Gentle paediatric chiropractic adjustments help restore movement, reduce muscle tension, and support symmetrical development — all with very soft, age-appropriate techniques. Babies usually handle it like champs… sometimes even with a little nap as a bonus.

If you’ve noticed your little one crawling “sideways,” favouring one leg, or avoiding certain movements, it’s worth getting it checked early. Small changes now can make a big difference later.

Happy, balanced babies = stronger, more confident movers 🍼✨

Nutrition + Movement = A Healthier Spine
A balanced diet reduces inflammation and supports recovery from back pain. Combined with chiropractic care and regular movement, you’re giving your spine the best chance
at long-term health.

• Eat more whole foods
• Choose healthy snacks over processed options
• Keep your body, and your spine, moving

This October, celebrate National Nutrition Week by making small, sustainable changes. Your spine (and your future self) will thank you!

Today, we honour the strength of premature babies and the incredible courage of the families and healthcare teams who care for them.

Each year, millions of babies are born too soon, and every one of them deserves the best possible start to life. Early awareness,
compassionate care, and collaboration across healthcare professions make all the difference in helping these little ones thrive.

As chiropractors, we recognise the importance of gentle, evidence-informed care for families navigating the early days of parenthood.

Supporting maternal health, reducing stress, and encouraging optimal function of the body’s systems all contribute to healthier outcomes for both parents and babies.

On World Diabetes Day, we join the global community in raising awareness about the importance of early detection, prevention,
and management of diabetes.

Chiropractic care supports people living with chronic conditions, like diabetes, by promoting better movement, reduced stress, and enhanced quality of life. All key aspects of maintaining overall wellness.

Through lifestyle education, regular activity, and spinal health,

Chiropractors encourage proactive habits that help the body function at its best. Managing diabetes isn’t just about blood sugar, it’s about supporting the whole person: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Move well. Eat well. Live well!

Good posture isn’t just about looking confident; it’s about keeping your spine healthy and your body moving freely.

Chiropractors know that small daily habits can make a big difference:

• Keep your shoulders back and relaxed
• Align your ears over your shoulders when sitting or standing
• Take regular breaks from sitting - stretch and move!
• Support your lower back with proper seating
• Strengthen your core to help maintain natural spinal curves.

Your spine supports your entire body - treat it well!

If you experience pain or discomfort, a CASA-registered chiropractor can guide you with personalised advice and exercises to improve your posture and prevent future issues.

Your spine, your health, your posture. Choose chiropractic first.
