A Calm, Gentle Approach for Babies and Children

When you’re a parent, it’s natural to want reassurance about your baby’s body, movement, and development. With so much information online, it can be difficult to know what support is appropriate or necessary.

At my chiropractic clinic in Manchester, I offer gentle chiropractic care for babies and children, designed to be calm, age-appropriate, and clearly explained at every step. Care is always optional and guided by parental choice.

Chiropractic care for babies and children at my Manchester chiropractic clinic is gentle, age-appropriate, and optional. It focuses on observing movement, posture, and musculoskeletal comfort, with techniques adapted for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. Care is non-forceful, clearly explained, and designed to sit alongside medical care, not replace it. My role as a chiropractor is not to diagnose or treat medical conditions, but to offer careful assessment, reassurance, and guidance so parents can make informed decisions about what feels right for their child.

I am a chiropractor with additional training in paediatric and pediatric care, working with infants and children in a calm, supportive way. My role is not to diagnose or treat medical conditions, but to: • Listen carefully to parents’ questions • Observe movement, posture, and range of motion • Assess the spine, spinal, and cranial areas in an age-appropriate way • Explain observations clearly, so parents can make informed decisions Care always sits alongside, not instead of, care from your GP or health visitor.

Chiropractic care for babies and children involves: • A gentle consultation with parents • Observation of posture and movement • Light, age-appropriate assessment of the child’s spine and surrounding joints • Consideration of growth, developmental milestones, and everyday movement There is no cracking, clicking, or forceful movement. All techniques are adapted to a baby’s body and comfort.
