We have often supported mums through their pregnancy and will often be asked about checking and supporting both mum and bub in the days, weeks and months after delivery.

A newborn’s nervous system and spine are precious.  Normal movement of the spine and nervous system is essential for optimal growth and development.

Common complaints that parents might bring in their infant for a check-up include:

• Irritability
• Colic symptoms
• Breastfeeding difficulties
• Feeding difficulties
• Tongue and lip ties
• Vomiting
• Difficulty settling
• Not sleeping well
• Constant crying
• Abnormal head shape
• Screaming in the car seat or while changing clothes
• Pre and post-tongue tie revision
• Poor weight gain
• Developmental delay

Our priority is to assess whether there is a musculoskeletal dysfunction and provide you with some treatment plan options and any additional advice that may assist your child in addressing your concerns.

Some of that advice may be co-management with another paediatric health care professional to make sure that your child gets the best start to life.
