Infants & Children

At Greensborough Family Chiropractic we provide a warm, friendly environment and gentle, professional care for your precious family including baby.

In addition to being awarded a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB-USA), Dr Robyn has completed post graduate seminars in Paediatrics. Please Note: There are no specialities in Chiropractic in Australia.

Dr Robyn is passionate about neuroplasticity.

Infants and children may be helped by gentle chiropractic care. With the birth process some babies may suffer birth trauma and associated strain through the neck and cranial system. Perhaps, with time, this may self correct, or if you find that symptoms persist and you would like us to, we may assist by gently checking baby and gently correcting areas that are not moving well. Your babies spine grows a lot and will lengthen a massive 50% in babies first 12 months, this is more than at any other time of babies life. If baby has some movement issue and you decide you would like babies spine, posture and movement patterns (e.g. cross cord movement) to be checked we can assist you with that at Greensborough Family Chiropractic.

How do we assess your baby?

Our chiropractors are trained to examine infant neonatal or primitive reflexes. These reflexes should be symmetrical in baby. As your baby's nervous system develops, these primitive reflexes will become more integrated and Postural reflexes emerge which prepare the developing baby for a more upright posture.

Call 03 9432 4644 for an appointment, if you would like us to check your baby!
