It’s never too early to have your child evaluated and adjusted by a Chiropractor. From the minute they leave the womb, it is a very common time a misalignment can occur due to trauma from the birthing process and your baby is susceptible to a spinal issue. Most children will also undergo many bumps, falls, and bruises during the course of their childhood. These small stumbles may not cause significant discomfort for your child, but it can cause shifts in their musculoskeletal system which often leads to spinal misalignment or subluxation, interfering in your child's nervous system’s efficient functioning.
What Are The Benefits of Chiropractic Care For Children?
Chiropractic care for children benefits are varied in numerous ways. Even if your child does not have a particular diagnosed condition, visiting a Chiropractor is part of a healthy lifestyle which promotes regular development and wellbeing. Benefits include, but aren’t limited to:
Reduced chances of common childhood issues such as: ear infections, inconsistent sleep patterns, wetting the bed, allergies, etc
Reduced symptoms of digestive issues like constipation, reflux
Effective recovery from an injury
Increased mobility in the joints or spine
What Are The Signs My Child Should Visit A Chiropractor?
A parent’s concern is always the first sign that treatment might be required. Young bodies are usually flexible and resilient. Throughout childhood, they take a lot of falls and bumps without much difficulty. Yet, some minor adjustments along the way can help your child grow strong and pain-free.
Here are some of the signs to look out for:
Complaints of continual or recurring neck or back pain
Adjustments for children are different, using significantly less force. If any gentle adjustments are needed, we typically use fingertip pressure to make any corrections or tools such as activators. When adjusting the spinal joints, you may hear some soft popping noises, but not always. Usually, there will not be any discomfort during treatment sessions. Chiropractic care for children is usually painless, unless it’s used to treat an injury. Any sensitivity that may be experienced should dissipate shortly after the adjustment.
Does Your Child Need X-Rays Before Getting Adjusted?
Unless necessary, we would not refer your child for X-rays. X-rays are only needed if there are signs of Scoliosis presented or major injuries. Health Promotion Board (HPB) Youth Preventive Health Services conducts annual health and spine screening at Primary and Secondary Schools for your child for early detection of scoliosis.

I had suffer lower back slip disc at my L4 bone for 13 years. Way back, i had went to hospital for MRI scan, refer to bone specialist and even tried TCM but non of them work well. Time and money spend in the past but the aching/pain just cannot resolve hence at one point of time i had already given up the hope for my slip disc and have the mind set to just live with the pain forever. Recently, happen to saw Chiropractic Ads in my facebook so i decided to give it a try. Did some research online and found LiveWell Sengkang so decided to give it a last tried. Dr Siew Wei was my chiropractor. After 2 session with Dr Siew Wei, realize my back was not as ache as before and surprisingly my body movement had improved as previously due to the aching/pain my body movement when straightening my back is like having this one to two sec pain/aching lag time whenever i bend down and up to do thing. Somehow, Chiropractic improve my body movement and daily lifestyle so I decided to sign up for a 20 session with Dr Siew Wei to continue maintaining my back ache.
Overall, i feel the time and money spend is really worth here as I can really see the result here after 2 session with Dr Siew Wei.

I had an ankle surgery 6 months ago and with a scoliosis, it definitely affected my walking during rehabilitation. And I also suffered from severe back pain. with proper exercises, stretching and Chiropractic treatment with Dr. Jessie. I definitely feel a huge improvement on my walking and there’s lesser back pain. Dr. Jessie is a very well versed Chiropractor, she is also very friendly and tends to every patient with different specific treatment. I had chiro treatment done few years back and this is definitely a better clinic! Also I would like to thank the counter staff for always being flexible with my timing.

Made an appt after feeling stiff necks and shoulders. Attended to by Dr Kenney. Recommended to do an x-ray and realised I have cervical neck. Now midway to the treatment and feeling much better. Even the chest tightness I used to have, is also better now (yes, chest tightness or pain can be caused by chiropractic issues). Definitely recommend - most of time, the appt are punctual and treatments are fast.

Dr Kenney is very professional and patient. He will check with you any pain and adjust treatment accordingly. There is no pain for doing chiropractic unlike surgery. Though it will take some times to improve body condition progressively.
