It is gentle with the lightest of touch and pressure (about the same as touching your eyeball).\u00a0 Babies are not little grown-ups and their nervous systems are growing and developing at a crazy fast rate.\u00a0 They therefore have unique needs.\u00a0 The three systems what are working very hard in the first year are the systems responsible for eating, sleeping, peeing &amp; pooping.\u00a0 And these are the three areas we see the nervous system struggle sometimes.\u00a0 In a baby the chiropractic adjustment helps to decrease the stresses on these systems.\u00a0 As a result we see our chiropractic babies become more chilled, feeding and sleeping better.<\/p>\n<p>Children are also not little adults. But just like an adult they are faced with stresses that affect their developing nervous system.\u00a0 In todays world our children are playing less out doors and spending more time in front of screens (TVs, mobile phones and computers).\u00a0 Our children were meant to move: run, jump &amp; play and if their brains are not given the stimulation it needs from movement then it starts to show signs of stress.\u00a0 Behaviour is one of the ways we notice stress in our children.\u00a0 Adjusting children is wonderfully rewarding and parents often comment their children are calmer after their adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578685817377{padding-top: 50px !important;}&#8221;]At your first appointment we will ask you all about mom\u2019s pregnancy and the birth of little one.\u00a0 We will also be taking a through history of baby or child\u2019s days so far.\u00a0 The examination is unique for babies &amp; children and is age appropriate.\u00a0 We examine little one\u2019s in their nappy, and children in loose clothing.\u00a0 We also do a neurological and physical examination and test all their age appropriate primitive reflexes.\u00a0 It\u2019s important in older children that their early primitive reflexes don\u2019t decide to come back!\u00a0 As a mom myself I know that it might take your child a while to warm up to their chiropractor.\u00a0 One of the reasons we encourage parents to bring their kids along to parent adjustments is to build trust and make kids comfortable in our clinic.\u00a0 Failing that we have many games we can play and tricks up our sleeves to make the experience fun!\u00a0 Its not uncommon for us to be seen treating all the soft fluffy animals in clinic so have a good laugh and show how chiropractic is FUN!<\/p>\n<p>As a mom myself I know that sometimes it can be confusing to know if your baby or child\u2019s problem can be helped with chiropractic.\u00a0 If you are unsure please leave a message and we can arrange a phone call to answer any of your questions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Book Appointment&#8221; color=&#8221;warning&#8221; size=&#8221;sm&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bounceInUp&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578687457522{padding-top: 20px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.celticfamilychiropractor.co.uk%2Findex.php%2Fbook-appointment%2F|title:Book%20Appointment||&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1089&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578685833491{padding-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;orange&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1578685860345{padding-top: 50px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771153043548{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cSo what Chiropractic does, is that it simply \u201ctakes the handcuffs off Nature\u201d, as it were. By finding the particular vertebra that had shifted and restoring it to its natural position, the adjustment thus releases the natural flow of nerve impulse. When the maze of nerves, or Nature\u2019s communication system, supplies the body with the energy it needs for well being, you have health.\u201d <\/em><br \/>\n<em>&#8212; <strong>B. J.
