Gentle Chiropractic Care for Babies & Children in Shoreditch & East London

Did you know your baby’s spine grows 50% in length in the first year of life? That’s a lot of change in a short amount of time! Sometimes, birth itself — whether natural or assisted — can put stress on a newborn’s delicate spine and nervous system.

At Haptic Chiropractors, we provide safe, gentle chiropractic care for babies, children, and teenagers — helping support healthy growth, posture, and comfort.

Why Would a Baby or Child See a Chiropractor?

Common reasons parents bring their children in include:

  • Fussiness or unsettled behaviour

  • Feeding difficulties

  • Preference to turn head to one side

  • Growing pains or posture issues in older kids

A 2019 review in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that gentle, low-force chiropractic adjustments are safe for paediatric patients when performed by trained professionals.

What to Expect

Soft, gentle techniques (no cracking or forceful movements)

  • Playful, friendly environment

  • Parents welcome to be present at all times

And for new parents — your baby’s first spinal check is free when you’ve had care with us during pregnancy.

Children & Posture in the Digital Age

With kids spending more time on screens than ever, forward head posture and rounded shoulders are becoming common. Research in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders (2016) links poor posture in children to increased neck and back pain in adulthood — early intervention matters.
