Babies & Toddlers: chiropractic care at Putney Chiropractic Centre
Family Care

Gentle, Honest Care for Your Youngest

Parents bring babies to us for all sorts of reasons, usually after a recommendation from a friend, a midwife, or someone at a baby group.

We want to be straight with you before you book, because this is an area where a lot of clinics aren't.

For older children and adults, chiropractic has a well-established role in musculoskeletal problems. For babies, the evidence is thinner. We're not going to promise you outcomes we can't stand behind, and you should be wary of anyone who does.

What we will do is assess your baby properly, tell you plainly what we find, and give you an honest view on whether we're the right people. If we're not, we'll point you towards your GP, health visitor or a lactation consultant. That answer costs you one appointment and can save you months of trying the wrong thing.

Short, calm and very light. The pressure used with a baby is roughly what you'd use to test whether a peach is ripe.

Babies are usually held by a parent throughout. Many sleep through it. You'll be in the room the whole time and you can ask us to stop at any point, which almost nobody does but everybody likes knowing.

Toddlers are less biddable and we've made our peace with that. Appointments happen on the floor as often as on the table, they're quick, and we work around whatever mood we've been given that day.

The building is buggy friendly and there's baby change. Siblings are welcome and regularly present. Nobody here minds noise.
