During our childhood years, our bodies go through the majority of our growth and development – our brains grow to 90% of its adult size by the time we are 5 years old! Our neurodevelopment is a vital part of this growth. This includes the integration of primitive reflexes (reflexes that we are born with but should integrate early in life). Sometimes these reflexes can linger and can contribute to issues such as learning or neurodevelopmental disorders When your child visits us at Mudgway Chiropractic a developmental assessment will be undertaken to assess their neurology in addition to spinal and cranial assessment. Through chiropractic adjustments (optimising brain body connection) and homecare (exercises and play) we ensure your baby’s development is on track.
