What is Paediatric Care?
Ever seen a child sit in a W position?
Or watch a child skip crawling?
Missing these milestones will affect a child's muscle and joint development. All the valuable time, learning to crawl, walk, and sit allows the spine to develop a proper curvature of the neck and low back.
As a child grows up, they will also be subjected to falls from bikes, playgrounds, school curricular activities, etc. In this era, the posture is a huge concern. Constant usage of the handphones, computers, heavy school bags are the main factors affecting the posture.
The birth process alone is often traumatic and results in multiple structural shifts in the spine. This is especially true and applicable to the delicate structures of the upper neck. Much of this is unavoidable and often disregarded, but it is the cumulative nature of physical stress and trauma can result in ongoing problems and postural deviations that can remain through life. With these, early onset degeneration and pain can start to set in.
Chiropractic care includes advice on exercise, nutrition and lifestyle. Chiropractic treatment will be tailored to suit their age, condition and developing spine. Their comfort and safety is our utmost priority.

What is Geriatric Care?
Geriatric care is about improving the well-being of elderly people. People experience a lot of issues with the onset of age.
Growing older means that your body is not as strong as before, and can be more vulnerable to injuries and deformities. Geriatric care aims to rectify bodily problems which elderly face and help prevent them from occurring in the future.
Chiropractic work can play a huge role in mitigating said issues. It is capable of isolating the cause of the problem and effectively treat it. Preventive care can also be achieved through targeted treatment options and correcting bad habits or practices.

How can Chiropractic help?
Diagnose the right condition for a personalised treatment
Our chiropractors will assess the cause and severity of your condition with a physical assessment during the consultation. In addition to the physical exam, we'll look into your past medical history and any recent X-ray results available to pinpoint the cause of the pain. Determining the source of the pain is essential to recommend the right method of treatment and rehabilitation. Treatment will be customised to your condition and these options can include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
To improve overall functionality and alleviate the stress on your system.
Craniosacral Therapy
Effective in treating migraines by relieving compression in the head, neck, and back. This can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension.
Electrotherapy (TENS machine)
Provides therapeutic effect to enhance range of motion and alleviate your pain by penetrating tissue and reducing its tightness.
Providing long-term care as your healthcare partner
Whole-Body Treatment Approach
Our chiropractors adopt a whole-body treatment approach to evaluate your pain areas as a whole because other regions of the neck (cervical), mid back (thoracic) and low back (lumbar) may be affected as well. We aim to treat the “whole person,” not just to treat your specific symptoms.
Advice on Posture, Exercises, Diet and Nutrition
In order to treat the root of chronic pains that are recurring over time, our chiropractors seek to understand your lifestyle and work demands so as to provide personalised patient-centric care and advice over a longer time horizon as your healthcare partner.
