At Lunar Chiropractic, we are passionate about supporting children’s health through gentle, safe, and effective chiropractic care. Dr Louise Fisher (Chiropractor) has a special interest in paediatric neurodevelopment and is dedicated to helping children thrive by optimising their nervous system function.
Chiropractic Care for Babies and Children in Perth
From birth through to childhood, a child’s body undergoes rapid growth and development. The nervous system plays a key role in this process, controlling movement, coordination, digestion, sleep, and overall health. Various factors, such as birth strain, falls, or developmental challenges, may contribute to imbalances in the spine and nervous system. Paediatric chiropractic care focuses on identifying and addressing these imbalances to support optimal function.
Common Reasons Parents Seek Chiropractic Care for Their Children
Many parents bring their children to a chiropractor for a range of concerns, including:
Retained primitive reflexes and neurodevelopmental challenges
Postural imbalances
Feeding difficulties or discomfort in newborns
Sleep disturbances
Colic, reflux, and digestive concerns
Ear infections and sinus congestion
Coordination and balance concerns
Growing pains
Recovery from falls and minor injuries
Gentle, Age-Appropriate Techniques
Dr Louise Fisher uses gentle, low-force techniques tailored to the specific needs of babies and children. These include oromyofascial release to support oral function and feeding, cranial and sacral techniques to relieve tension and optimise nervous system function, and functional neurology-based techniques for neurodevelopmental support, particularly in children with retained primitive reflexes. Gentle spinal adjustments are performed using light fingertip pressure without ‘cracking’ or forceful movements, while soft tissue and fascial release help with tension, flexibility, and movement patterns. Dr Louise also works closely with parents, offering guidance on posture, movement, tummy time, and developmental milestones to ensure children receive holistic care and the best start in life.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Babies and Children?
Yes. Chiropractic care for babies and children is safe when provided by a trained professional. The techniques used are very gentle and adapted to each child’s age, size, and developmental stage. Dr Louise Fisher has undergone additional postgraduate training in paediatric chiropractic care and follows evidence-based practices to ensure the highest level of care.
Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to supporting a child’s overall well-being.
