Special Needs
Special needs require special care, and our passionate team of professionals have invested many practical hours and have acquired the knowledge to help children and adults with special needs to live a more comfortable and fulfilling life through customised chiropractic care.
Chiropractic and Cerebral Palsy
Chiropractic care assists children with Cerebral Palsy in dealing with their musculoskeletal complaints, nervous system conditions and pain management.
Our approach focuses on decreasing spasticity, motor weakness, impaired sensory perception, and muscle and joint contractures.
Early intervention can contribute to reducing spinal changes such as lower back pain, pelvic obliquity, scoliosis and increased lumbar lordosis, facilitating children battling with this condition to reach their full potential.
Rare and genetic diseases, and many times the symptoms, are uncommon to most doctors.
There are approximately 7000 different types of rare diseases and disorders, with more being discovered each day. 30% of children with rare diseases will not live to see their fifth birthday.
Sadly, approximately 50% of rare diseases do not have a disease specific foundation supporting or researching their rare diseases.
Chiropractic treatment provides a means through which our special needs patients remain comfortable physically and enables us to address common problems like excessive crying, sleep disorders, symptoms of reflux and constipation, symmetry and alignment issues.
