Signs Your Baby May Benefit from Chiropractic Care
Difficulty with tummy time, crawling, or hitting milestones
Positional: doesn’t like - the bassinet/pram, the car, lying on their back, hates tummy time (more than what’s typical)
It’s never too early to have your baby checked — even if you’re unsure. Many families bring their newborns in within the first days or weeks after birth.
Baby & Newborn Chiropractic Care in Mosman
Gentle Support for Growing Nervous Systems on the North Shore & Northern Beaches
At Nomad Chiropractic, we know those first days, weeks, and months matter. Your baby’s nervous system is developing rapidly — and small imbalances early on can ripple into sleep challenges, feeding issues, digestion troubles, and more.
Our gentle chiropractic care helps babies feel safe, regulated, and comfortable in their bodies so they can thrive.
We highly recommend newborn checks to ensure optimal function from birth. Whether you’ve had intervention, a difficult pregnancy; short or long labour - or a smooth sailing entry to the world .
The greatest gift you can give yourself and your bubba is to ensure their nervous system is firing as best it can from the start.
Newborn Chiropractic
Care is tailored to each baby and techniques used are so gentle… it’s likened to checking the ripeness of a piece of fruit.
Why Bring a Baby to the Chiropractor?
Birth! — even the most beautiful and natural birth — is physically demanding on a baby’s body.
Tension, misalignment, or nervous system stress may show up as:
🌸 Difficulty latching or feeding on one side
🌸 Reflux, colic, or excessive gas
🌸 Flat head or head favouring (plagiocephaly/torticollis)
🌸 Constipation or unsettled behaviour
🌸 Sleeping in a stiff or curled position
🌸 Developmental delays or arching through the body
Our goal is to support the function of your baby’s spine, cranial bones, and nervous system to promote balance, ease, and healthy development.
We work collaboratively with
IBCLC’s (lactation consultants), speech patholiogists, myofacial therapists and dentists for feeding issues.
We’re the go-to clinic for tongue / lip tie body work pre/post revision for bubba’s.
