Chiro Teens
Adolescence is a time of great change in your child’s life, in every sense: physically, emotionally, socially and in terms of their sense of identity.
At ChiroKids, we are passionate about using chiropractic care to help teenagers manage these unique challenges and opportunities by addressing current issues, and helping to prevent or mitigate potential future problems.

So called ‘text neck’ is an increasingly common problem, resulting in forward head posture and chronic head and neck pain, and shoulder tightness.
Chiropractic support can help to address biomechanical issues associated with excessive device use. A combination of increased movement, spinal alignment, postural correction exercises and environmental ergonomics can bring relief from pain and discomfort.
What are some of the things we look out for?
We are trained to look out for scoliosis or any other potential conditions that may become apparent during the teenage years, as well as postural issues caused by intensive screen and study time.
We also assist with the sports-related injuries that are extremely common in this age group.
We focus on:
- Increasing strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
- Soothing aches, pains, and strains.
- Improving recovery time.
- Reducing wear and tear on joints and muscles.
- Lessening the risk of accidents and injury.
Chiropractic treatment may assist in injury prevention and also support teenagers in improving their sports performance.
We work with your teenagers to help them achieve their full sporting potential and stay safe while playing high-impact sports.
