Recognised for clinical excellence in supporting children’s development, Dr Sophie Laurie brings her award-winning skills to City Chiropractic. Our goal is to help your child thrive at every stage.

How Chiropractic Supports Your Child’s Wellbeing

Chiropractic care focuses on supporting the connection between your child’s brain and body through their nervous system. A well-functioning nervous system plays a crucial role in sleep patterns, concentration, physical coordination, and overall wellbeing.

Many parents notice improvements in their child’s comfort, mobility, and general health after beginning chiropractic care. Whether addressing posture, growth-related changes, or everyday activities like carrying school bags and playing sports, gentle chiropractic care helps children adapt to physical demands as they grow.

Gentle Support for Every Stage of Childhood

Just as children benefit from regular dental checkups, chiropractic care supports their developing bodies and nervous systems. Our approach adapts to each stage of childhood, using techniques tailored to their needs.

Newborns & Infants: Your child’s first chiropractic visit can happen at any age, even from birth. We use extremely gentle techniques: applying no more pressure than testing the ripeness of a tomato: to support natural development, sleep patterns, and general comfort.
Toddlers & Young Children: As children learn to crawl, walk, and explore their world, their bodies undergo rapid changes. Chiropractic care helps support postural development and movement patterns to aid coordination and stability.
School-Aged Children & Teens: Whether carrying heavy school bags, spending hours on screens, or participating in sports, kids and teens experience physical stress. Chiropractic care can help support their posture, balance, and recovery from minor injuries.

Your Child’s First Visit & Ongoing Care

During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss their health history, development, and any current concerns. Our gentle and observational assessment helps us understand how best to support your child’s wellbeing. We’ll take time to answer all your questions and explain our findings in clear, simple terms.

As your child grows, their chiropractic care evolves with them. We regularly assess and adjust our approach to match their developmental stage and changing needs. Many families find regular visits become a valuable part of their children’s healthcare routine, supporting them through various growth stages and physical activities.

Age-Appropriate Chiropractic Techniques

We use gentle, tailored techniques that suit your child’s age and comfort level:

Newborns & Infants: The Inspiral Method, a highly specialised approach using sustained light pressure, ensures the gentlest possible care.
Young Children: Soft, hands-on adjustments help support coordination, postural development, and nervous system balance.
Older Children & Teens: Depending on their needs, we may use Diversified techniques or Activator Methods®, which are always adapted to their body and comfort.

A Positive & Family-Centred Experience

We understand that visiting a healthcare provider can feel overwhelming for some children. Our practice is designed to be welcoming and child-friendly, helping young patients feel at ease. We explain everything in age-appropriate language and always move at your child’s pace.

Parents are a key part of the process. We involve you in your child’s care, clearly explaining our approach, answering questions, and updating you on their progress. We recognise that every family has unique needs and preferences, and we tailor our guidance accordingly.
