🌿 Gentle Chiropractic Care for Babies & Children 🌿

Dr Jo the Chiro is a chiropractor with over 20 years of clinical experience supporting patients of all ages - from newborns to adults. Over the years, she's completed extensive training in assessing and caring for babies and children, with a strong focus on safe, gentle, and individualised care.

👶 Families often visit Jo to have their child checked for:

• Feeding or latching difficulties
• A head sleeping position preference or limited neck movement
• Postural asymmetries (such as a head tilt or flat spot)
• General musculoskeletal tension or stiffness
• Discomfort associated with growth or increased activity or delayed developmental milestones

Each session begins with a thorough assessment to understand your child’s unique needs.

Techniques used are always gentle, age-appropriate, and tailored - often involving light fingertip pressure or gentle mobilisation suited to your child’s stage of development.

Jo's goal is to support comfortable movement and healthy development, helping little bodies grow and function at their best.

If you’d like to learn more about chiropractic care for children or discuss whether it might be suitable for your family, feel free to get in touch and ask for a 'call back' from Jo - she is always happy to answer questions or discuss your needs. 💙

😊 We’re thrilled to welcome Jordan to the RNHC team!

Jordan holds a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University, and has over 5 years experience in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sporting injuries, as well as acute and chronic neck, back, and joint pain.

He takes a whole-body approach - looking beyond the symptoms to find and treat the root cause of dysfunction. His treatments are evidence based and tailored to each individual, incorporating techniques including spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, dry needling, and personalised rehab exercises.

How long will it take for my injury to heal?

I hear this every day in the clinic — and honestly, it’s a great question.

So here’s a quick breakdown of how long it may for different injuries to heal (and why some take way longer than others). Of course there can always be variations to these!

💪 Muscle strains

Muscles have good blood flow = faster healing.

Grade 1 (mild pull): 2–3 weeks
Grade 2 (partial tear): 4–8 weeks
Grade 3 (full tear): 3–6 months

🦵Ligament sprains

Think ankle sprains — they take longer because ligaments don’t get much blood.

Grade 1: 2–4 weeks
Grade 2: 6–10 weeks
Grade 3: 3–6 months (and sometimes surgery)

🧵 Tendon issues

These are more stubborn. Poor blood flow + lots of wear & tear.

Mild strain: 4–6 weeks
Partial tear: 3–6 months
Full tear: 6+ months

🦴 Bone fractures

Bones usually heal well if they’re stable.

Simple break: 6–8 weeks
Complex: 3–6 months
Stress fracture: 6–12 weeks depending on location

💡 Why the difference?

Blood flow = faster healing
Bigger injuries take more time, especially if surgery is required
Rehab matters
Age, health, and lifestyle all play a role

Everyone heals at a different pace — but with the right treatment plan and some patience, your body can bounce back. 🙌
