Wellbeing Chiropractic Amsterdam
Parents look for care that feels gentle, safe and specialized. At Wellbeing Chiropractic we take the time for your child and calmly explain what we are doing and why.
Birth and growth can demand a lot from a small body. Some parents come with questions about posture, preferred position, tension, discomfort or general development.
We use gentle, natural techniques that suit babies and children of different ages. The amount of pressure and the approach differ from those used with adults and always tailored to the child.
With young children, trust is essential. That is why we discuss in advance what we assess, what we see and which steps are logical. You remain involved in the entire process.
Children are not small adults. The examinations and techniques we use with babies and children are fully adapted to their age, weight and stage of development. With a baby we work with very light pressure — comparable to the pressure you would use to test a ripe tomato. Karen is certified for this through the ICPA.
Parents often come with questions about a positional preference (the head always turning to the same side), a flattened head, restlessness, difficulty feeding on one side, or a lot of crying. We first go through the pregnancy, the birth and the first weeks in detail, and then calmly examine how your baby moves. What we find, and what we can and cannot do, is always discussed openly with you.
With older children it is more often about posture: plenty of screen time, a heavy school bag, a fall during sport, or neck pain and headaches. Growth spurts can also cause temporary stiffness and complaints. We look at the whole chain — feet, pelvis, back and neck — and give parents practical advice for at home.
Chiropractic care never replaces your GP, child health clinic or paediatrician. When we see signals that belong there, we refer. Not sure whether an appointment makes sense? Call +31 20 767 00 98, read the frequently asked questions, or book a first appointment.
