Paediatric chiropractor — gentle, experienced care for children of all ages
About This Treatment
Chiropractic care for children and teenagers
Children’s bodies change rapidly at every stage of development — and musculoskeletal concerns can arise at any age. Our chiropractors have experience providing chiropractic care for kids from early childhood through to teenage years, using techniques adapted to suit each child’s age, size and presentation.
Children account for between 8% and 15% of all chiropractic visits globally, with musculoskeletal concerns — including back pain, postural problems and sports injuries — among the most common reasons parents seek care for their child (NIH/PMC Review, 2025).
What to expect
Paediatric chiropractic uses very gentle, low-force techniques — quite different from the methods used in adult treatment. For younger children, techniques are carefully controlled and age-appropriate. For older children and teenagers, approaches are scaled to their size, age and condition.
Sessions are calm, unhurried and explained at every step. We encourage parents and caregivers to be present throughout and to ask any questions before, during or after treatment. We also see young patients referred from across greater Sydney looking for an experienced chiropractor for kids on the Northern Beaches.
Conditions we may help with
Our chiropractors commonly see children presenting with:
- Postural concerns and scoliosis screening
- Growing pains
- Headaches
- Sports and activity-related injuries
- Osgood-Schlatter disease
- Sever's disease
- Sleeping difficulties
- General musculoskeletal discomfort in children and adolescents
When should I bring my child?
There is no set age at which chiropractic care becomes appropriate — we assess each child individually. Many parents seek care for children experiencing postural concerns, growing pains or sports injuries. At the first appointment our chiropractors will take a full history, assess your child’s specific situation and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for them.
Commonly asked questions
Is chiropractic care safe for children?
Yes. Chiropractic care is generally considered safe for children when provided by registered chiropractors who tailor their approach to a child’s age, size and stage of development. At Coastal Chiropractic, our team has over 25 years of experience caring for children and teenagers across Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
What does a paediatric chiropractic appointment involve?
A paediatric chiropractic appointment begins with a full health history and assessment, followed by gentle, low-force treatment adapted to your child’s age and condition. Parents are encouraged to stay present throughout. Sessions are calm and unhurried, with every step explained clearly before it happens.
How do I know if my child needs to see a chiropractor?
Common signs include persistent back or neck pain, poor posture, recurring headaches, growing pains, and sport-related discomfort. Conditions like Sever’s disease and Osgood-Schlatter disease are also commonly treated. No referral is needed — our chiropractors will assess your child at the first appointment and advise whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
