At Clair Hogan Family Chiropractic we specialise in chiropractic care for babies, children and pregnancy. Clair Hogan has completed numerous postgraduate courses in pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic.

There are many reasons babies may visit our practise:

  • Poor sleeping patterns
  • An unsettled baby
  • Poor attachment to the breast when breast feeding
  • A traumatic delivery such as a prolonged abour, vacuum extraction, breech or posterior presentation
  • And even a natural delivery or C-section
  • Colic
  • Reflux
  • Changes to shape of the skull
  • Restrictions to head or  shoulder movement

The birthing process itself puts immense strain on the spine of a newborn. How they are positioned in the mother's womb, how they feed, their sleeping positions and, as they develop how they crawl, walk and their day to day bumps and falls all contribute to how their spine functions.

The role of the chiropractor is to detect changes to joint movements of the spine. These misalignments are called chiropractic subluxations. Due to this restriction in spinal joint movement, the nerves branching out from the spine become irritated.  Because the nerves supply every cell, tissue and organ of the body, changes to bodily functions are affected.

More and more parents are realising the benifits to the health of their babies and children as they grow while they are under chiropractic care. We are seeing more and more parents making an informed choice and turning to the worlds largest non-medical form of health care in the western world.
