At The Parker Clinic we understand how important it is to maintain a healthy spine throughout your lifetime. Many spinal conditions can be identified and corrected in childhood avoiding difficulties in later life.

We treat many babies and children at the clinic. Childbirth can be a traumatic event on the baby's spine and cranium. We receive great feedback from parents who relax in the knowledge that their child's spine and cranial bones are in good hands.

Habits such as posture, lifting and sitting begin early in life and our chiropractors can give advice to you and your children. Once at school, the child may carry heavy bags and sit on poorly-designed chairs.  It's often at this age that the child may become less active and spend longer periods during the day sitting. Research shows us that sitting causes loading to our spinal discs.

Here at The Parker Clinic we offer free spinal and cranial checks to infants whose mothers have received treatment during their pregnancy.
