Family Health

We are passionate about working with families to help them to achieve well-being through chiropractic care. By fostering balance in the nervous systems in the early stages of life, we lay the foundation for a lifetime of health and vitality that extends into adulthood.

Babies and children

The early years are a time of rapid growth and neurological development, laying the foundation for lifelong movement and function.

The journey into the world isn’t always smooth, and stresses such as position in the womb, birth trauma, or early feeding challenges can all affect an infant’s developing nervous system.

Common concerns we see include feeding or latching issues, a preference for turning the head one way, flat head shape, digestive discomfort, disturbed sleep, and posture or movement challenges.

Patrick has a special interest in child development and has trained in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), a method built on the natural movement milestones every child progresses through – from head control and rolling to crawling and walking.

By observing how a child moves, we can identify milestones that may not have been fully integrated. Through guided movement, we encourage patterns that activate and retrain the body’s innate stabilising system.

Our care is gentle and carefully adapted to suit each age and stage. For babies and children, the lightest touch is often all it takes to create change.

When the brain-body connection is balanced, we often see calmer, more settled little ones who can focus on feeding, sleeping, and growing as they should.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is an exciting time full of growth and change, but it naturally puts extra stress on your body.

Hormonal shifts, including the release of relaxin, loosen ligaments in your pelvis to prepare for childbirth, which can leave joints feeling unstable.

As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, increasing the curve in your lower back and adding pressure to your lumbar spine. Your ribs and mid-back also work harder to support your expanding uterus, which can lead to tension, discomfort, or pain.

We support your body with gentle, targeted care designed for pregnancy. By keeping your pelvis and spine aligned, we reduce discomfort and relieve tension in your back, hips, and pelvis. 

Our specially designed pregnancy pillows allow you to lie on your tummy safely, reducing pressure on your spine so you can relax fully during your adjustment.

Supporting healthy aging

Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down or living with pain.

At The Chiro Pad, we help you move freely and confidently, addressing issues like arthritis, joint degeneration, and muscular tension.

Chiropractic care can reduce pain and maintain both flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints moving through their full capacity so you can bend, reach, twist, and lift without restriction.

Balance and coordination are crucial for staying independent and avoiding falls. Gentle adjustments and targeted exercises strengthen stabilising muscles, improve posture, and sharpen body awareness. 

Our adjustable treatment table makes it simple for people with limited mobility to get on and off safely and comfortably.
