What Does Cranial Adjusting Involve?

We aim to stimulate the nervous system and increase blood flow around the cranial bones, enabling better communication between the mind and body.

The Melbourne Chiropractor provides care for children throughout all stages of growth and development. A number of our practitioners have a passion for treating varying paediatric symptoms.

Can Children Develop The Same Spinal Problems As Adults?

If there is a history of spinal problems in your family, your child's spine may not develop properly. Early detection is essential in preventing certain spinal problems from developing.

Previously, Spinal Degeneration was viewed as a result of ageing and 'wear and tear'. However, research has revealed there is also a substantial influence of heredity on spinal degeneration.
