At Back to Front Chiropractic we pride ourselves on offering chiropractic care for entire families, including chiropractic care for babies and toddlers. Babies first check up is exactly that, a check up. We’re looking to identify any issues in your child’s musculoskeletal system that may over time become a bigger issue.
Pediatric techniques are very different to adult adjustments and hence it’s important for you to know first exactly what will be done. We talk you through the entire visit allowing you to ask questions all the time. We demonstrate on you first (usually on your forearm or leg) exactly what your baby will experience during their visit.
