Chiropractic Care for Teenagers

Our team is here to support your teenager to better understand and care for their own body through these pivotal years of growth and development. 

Confidence from the body up

Teens experience rapid growth spurts, hormonal changes, and increasing physical demands from sports, extracurricular activities, and daily life. At the same time, they are navigating the complexities of emotional development, academic pressures, and social connections, all of which can impact their overall well-being. With so much happening in their growing bodies and developing minds, maintaining proper alignment and supporting nervous system health is more important than ever.

Whether it’s addressing postural issues from prolonged screen use, supporting recovery from sports injuries, or helping to manage stress-related tension, our team offers a thorough assessment that informs a holistic approach to promote balance, resilience, and optimal health during the teenage years.

Young Athlete Assessment

Our Young Athlete Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify and address imbalances that may impact your teen’s posture, coordination, strength, and overall performance.

During the assessment, we:

  • Evaluate posture and spinal alignment: Checking for any imbalances or misalignments that may affect movement or contribute to discomfort.
  • Assess mobility and flexibility: Identifying areas of tightness or restriction that could limit performance or increase the risk of injury.
  • Analyse balance and coordination: Ensuring proper neuromuscular function to support stability and efficient movement.
  • Identify early signs of injury risk: Spotting potential weaknesses or strain points before they turn into recurring issues.
  • Provide tailored recommendations: Offering individualized care plans, including chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle advice, to help young athletes recover, perform, and grow with confidence.

Whether your teen is competing at a high level or simply enjoys staying active, this assessment helps support healthy growth, improve performance, and reduce the risk of injury. With a focus on spinal and nervous system health, we ensure your teen’s body is balanced, strong, and ready to take on their next challenge.

Teens, Tech and Posture

In today’s digital world, teenagers are spending more time than ever on screens—studying, scrolling, and gaming. Unfortunately, prolonged screen time often leads to poor posture, causing a condition known as “Tech Neck”. This modern-day problem can result in neck pain, headaches, shoulder tension, and even reduced focus and energy. Our team are here to support your teen to:

  • Improve posture: Simple changes to sitting positions and screen habits to prevent strain.
  • Reduce discomfort: Easy stretches and exercises to release tension in the neck and shoulders.
  • Protect long-term spinal health: How chiropractic care can address postural imbalances and nervous system stress caused by Tech Neck.

By understanding and addressing Tech Neck early, you can help your teen feel better, stand taller, and avoid long-term issues as they grow.
