Karen has enjoyed spending time developing her knowledge in managing pregnant women and paediatrics. The aims with pregnant patients is to help them achieve a more comfortable pregnancy and birth. With paediatric patients we aim to help them with their musculoskeletal complaints to encourage a more settled and comfortable start to life. It's sometimes hard to understand why a baby is unsettled, however in some cases babies respond incredibly well to light cranial work and gentle light Chiropractic techniques. At KH Chiropractic we select light techniques which are very different to those which would be used on an adult.

Common issues parents consult us about their babies:
+ Breastfeeding difficulties.
+ Excessively crying babies.
+ Babies who don’t appear to be reaching milestones.
+ Lack of sleep for mother and baby.
