The birth process can be one of the most physically traumatic times for a baby. Stresses placed on the young skeleton can cause minor functional problems of the spine, the pelvis or the extremities.
The chiropractic approach addresses the whole body to help and restore and to improve all round body function, allowing your child to function at their best. Whatever the age of your child, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective therapy.
Treating babies and infants involves ultra gentle techniques and light touching over areas of the spine. Your baby will feel relaxed and at ease during the treatment.

Chiropractic care for children can have dramatic results. A child’s spine continues to receive daily stresses and traumas as they grow. These forces distort the positioning of the spine and may cause slight pressure on the spinal cord, thus reducing the flow of communication between the brain and the body. In addition to the pressures of growth itself, children experience many more bumps, falls and sports injuries than we do in adulthood. Chiropractic can safely and easily correct misalignments early on and prevent pain and more serious postural problems developing in later life.
At the Angel Chiropractic Clinic we understand the demands that the young body is going through and provide appropriate treatment alongside postural and ergonomic advice.
We are always delighted to welcome pregnant parents, babies and children to Angel Chiropractic Clinic. We are happy to mind babies whilst new mums receive treatment and have a play area and toys for toddlers and young children.
Babies and children of existing patients will receive their initial consultation free of charge after which we charge a reduced rate of £28 per session (under the age of 16).
If you are not a patient yourself but wish to bring in your baby or child for an assessment this is charged at £20.
