We’re truly honoured that you’ve chosen us to be part of your child’s health and wellness journey. At Foundation Chiropractic Co., we’re proud to be home to two of only 74 chiropractors in Canada certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Paediatrics. You can feel confident knowing your child is in experienced, evidence-informed hands.
Here’s what to expect at your first visit with one of our paediatric chiropractors:
1. Complimentary Consultation
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your child’s health history, feeding and side preferences, current concerns, and your personal goals. This visit is just as much about you getting to know us as it is about us getting to know your child. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident that our office is the right fit for your family.
2. Paediatric Examination
We’ll gently assess your child’s spine, cranium, oral function, and nervous system. Although our exam is very gentle, it gives us a wealth of information to help support your child’s spinal development, feeding, digestion, and sleep patterns.
3. Chiropractic Adjustments
If appropriate, we’ll recommend a gentle adjustment protocol designed to address the root cause of your child’s health concern. Rest assured—paediatric adjustments involve no forceful twisting or cracking. The pressure we use is similar to checking the ripeness of a tomato or avocado. When indicated, your child’s first adjustment will take place the same day as their examination.
4. Complementary Recommendations
You’ll also receive specific home care guidance to support your child’s progress—this may include gentle stretches, intra-oral exercises, soother tips, or positioning techniques to promote optimal spinal and cranial alignment.
If you have any additional questions before your visit, feel free to reach out—or bring them with you! We’ll be happy to discuss them during your complimentary consultation.
