Chiropractic care in pregnancy is all about comfort & Connection

Chiropractic is gentle and safe for both mother and baby - techniques are adapted to suit the ever changing body of a pregnant woman. Utilising gentle manual adjustments and SOT techniques balancing the relationship between the sacrum (tailbone) and occiput (base of skull) and Webster techniques which focus on maintaining proper function and balance of the pelvis and surrounding structures. Many mums enjoy gentle chiropractic care though out their pregnancy and find relief from the effects of the biomechanical changes and postural strains that can occur when growing a baby.

All of our chiropractors are trained in pregnancy care and are focused on finding ways to better support women throughout their pregnancy journey and happy to co-mange your care with other health modalities if needed. Lifestyle advice in supporting your pregnancy in daily activities is a huge part of the wholistic care you will receive.

Mothers often decide to bring in their babies for a post birth check up and we encourage this, continuing to care for the babes outside of the womb.

At Seed we love seeing babies & children & have created a space that your kids will love.  

Chiropractic Care can be beneficial for children and babies. Since significant trauma can occur at birth (even in the most natural birth), many parents choose to have their newborns checked for any spinal health related problems. Later, learning to walk, riding a bicycle, rapid growth, knocks, bumps and falls along with other childhood activities can cause stress and strain to the growing spine. 

According to the Chiropractic paediatric expert, Larry Webster (DC), there are six time in a baby's first year of life when chiropractic examinations are particularly important:

1. After the birth process

2. When the baby starts to hold his/her head up

3. When the baby sits up

4. When the baby starts to stand

5. When the baby starts to crawl

6. When the baby starts to walk 

Developmental milestones and your babies reflexes are assessed and monitored throughout their growing years, tracking progress and making sure they are within normal range for age. We will always refer out for further investigations if deemed necessary and are happy to communicate with other care providers.

For Chiropractors with a particular interest in children and babies it is imperative to be up to date with the latest research and techniques to provide your child with the best possible care. Techniques are modified for a baby's spine using gentle pressure and breathing assisted techniques.

Chiropractic care at Seed is gentle for babies - techniques are adapted to suit their growing little bodies.  

Nothing is more exciting than seeing your seed turn into something that blooms

Your child’s health is a result of their environment

Their physical environment … posture, day to day play, accidents and trauma.

Their chemical environment… diet (sugar, preservatives), medications and pollution.

Their emotional environment… stability at home, social interaction, attitudes of role models and carers.

These environmental stressors take it’s tole on the way our body functions.

Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off as “growing pains” may be able to be traced to the spine. Regular chiropractic checkups may be able to identify these problems and help avoid some of the health complaints seen later in adults. Naturally, our techniques are modified to your child’s spine, using gentle pressure and breathing assisted adjustments.
