Paediatric Chiropractor in Canberra
At Universal Chiropractic, we are dedicated to the health and well-being of your entire family, including your little ones.
Chiropractor for Babies and Adolescents
Is your child having trouble falling or staying asleep? Are they having persistent or recurring pain in the back, neck, or other areas? Have you noticed poor posture, such as slouching or rounded shoulders, or challenges with balance and coordination?
At Universal Chiropractic, we recognise the profound impact these issues can have on a child’s overall development and quality of life. That’s why we offer paediatric chiropractor care, designed to improve their comfort, enhance their physical health, and support their overall well-being. Our comprehensive family-focused approach extends beyond paediatric care to include adult chiropractic treatments and wellness coaching for the whole family’s health journey.
Individualised Care for Your Child’s Special Needs
Dr Kathy provides exceptional customised care, acknowledging that no two children are alike. This personalised approach is evident across all our services, from our gentle adult chiropractic care to our supportive pregnancy chiropractic services that help prepare families for their new arrivals.
For example, a child may come in at age 4 because they experience language delay. This will be a different kind of assessment compared to a child who has great language skills but challenges with sleep. As a result, Dr Kathy tailors her care to meet the unique requirements of every child.
Pediatric Care for Babies and Infants
Dr Knight has ample experience as an infant chiropractor and has completed multiple training courses with a special interest in this field. Dr Kathy’s specialised training includes Webster Technique certification, making her exceptionally qualified for pregnancy chiropractic care that supports mothers throughout their journey to parenthood. She provides exceptional care and takes pride in creating a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment for all her patients.
Common issues she can help your baby with include:
- Colic and Digestive Issues: Relieving discomfort from colic, gas, or constipation.
- Sleep Difficulties: Helping with trouble falling or staying asleep. Sleep challenges often continue as children grow. Our holistic approach includes family wellness coaching to establish healthy sleep routines and habits that support your child’s development.
- Poor Latch or Feeding Issues: Addressing difficulties with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
- Reflux: Managing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux.
- Head and Neck Tension: Easing tightness from birth trauma or positioning issues.
Chiropractic Care for Primary School-Aged Children
As children enter primary school, their physical and emotional demands change. Dr Kathy focuses on supporting their growth and development by addressing common struggles, including postural problems, growing pains, concentration issues, sports injuries, and frequent illnesses.
Care for Teens and Preteens
Teenagers and preteens face unique physical and emotional changes that can benefit from chiropractic care. Dr Kathy can help address postural imbalances, back and neck pain, hormonal changes, stress and anxiety, and sports performance concerns.
