Paediatric Chiropractic at Tawa Chiropractic
Even in a natural birth with no interventions, a baby’s neck and spine can be twisted and pulled on, leading to joint restrictions and nervous system interference. At Tawa Chiropractic, we want to help every baby experience the best start possible in life!

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Infants?
Some babies have a rough beginning, having been in a bad position in the womb or going through a particularly traumatic delivery process. Parents or doctors may detect cranial malformations, or parents may notice restricted range of motion in the neck or lower spine. Babies may have colic or trouble sleeping or pooping.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion to the spinal joints, which can alleviate nervous system interference. Since your baby’s nervous system controls everything their body does, having a healthy nervous system may optimise overall health and function. Babies often have a good bowel movement after a chiropractic adjustment.
Our Gentle Approach
Dr Matt Clark (chiropractor) begins by building rapport with both the child and the parents. He explains what to expect so you can relax, knowing there will be no surprises. We use very gentle adjusting techniques on infants and children, using the same pressure one would use to check a tomato for ripeness.
Nothing we do causes any pain, and some babies sleep through their adjustment. Others are fussy when being touched by a stranger and may cry, but this is short-lived when they experience the relief of properly moving joints.
Families Welcome
Dr Matt and his wife, our practice manager Olivia Williams, are expecting their first child and passionate about providing care for other young families in our community. Keeping kids’ spinal joints moving properly, so that they can experience ease of movement and a more healthy nervous system, is our passion. We like to see kids regularly as they grow up.
