Chiropractic care for babies & children in New Milton
Our chiropractors have training in paediatric chiropractic care, and are experienced in assessing and treating babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. Children’s bodies are constantly growing and developing, and our care is always gentle, age-appropriate, and tailored to each child’s needs.
Gentle treatment of babies
Age-appropriate care, always
Parents may choose to bring their baby for an assessment following birth, after their child’s minor bumps and falls, or if they have concerns about posture, movement, and musculoskeletal issues.
Before beginning any treatment, we listen to your concerns and clarify any questions you may have, carry out a thorough assessment, and discuss our findings with you in detail — so you can make an informed decision about your child’s care.

Experienced and qualified care
Our chiropractors have undertaken training in caring for pregnant women and children. One of our chiropractors, Harriet Gillard MChiro, is currently completing a postgraduate diploma in paediatric chiropractic.
If you are pregnant or are considering chiropractic care for yourself or your child, our friendly team will be happy to answer any questions and discuss how chiropractic may be able to help you or your family.
What parents tell us
Real feedback from our Google reviews — in patients’ own words.
“Harriet is the first chiropractor to see both myself and my son who she saw as a baby. Harriet has always been great, and I have always been confident she could treat me. I would also now recommend her to my friends for baby chiropractic treatment.”
Questions parents ask about chiropractic care
If you’re wondering about anything else, just give us a call — we’re happy to help.
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?
Our care for babies and children is always gentle, age-appropriate and tailored to each child’s needs. Before any treatment we listen to your concerns, carry out a thorough assessment, and discuss our findings with you in detail — so you can make an informed decision about your child’s care.
Do we need a GP referral?
No. Chiropractors are primary healthcare practitioners, so you can book directly with us — many GPs actually refer their patients to our clinic. Most private health insurance providers cover all or part of the cost of treatment. Please check your individual policy.
Can I stay with my child during the appointment?
Of course — parents are with their child throughout. Every consultation takes place in a private treatment room, and we explain what we’re doing at every step so both you and your child feel at ease.
What if chiropractic isn’t right for my child?
We’ll tell you straight. If the assessment suggests your child would be better cared for elsewhere, we’ll explain why, refer you to your GP or an appropriate specialist, and guide you to the right care.
