Paediatrics
At Top Chiropractic, we provide gentle, child-friendly Upper Cervical Chiropractic care designed to support healthy growth and development from infancy through adolescence. Many parents seek our care to help their children with concerns such as sleep difficulties, posture issues, and behavioural challenges.
We also support children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and sensory processing challenges. By focusing on the upper cervical spine, we aim to enhance nervous system function and promote better communication between the brain and body. Our approach is always gentle, respectful, and tailored to each child’s unique needs—helping their nervous systems work more efficiently and supporting their overall wellbeing.

Paediatrics Research
A study published in the Journal of Paediatric, Maternal & Family Health (2022) explored the effects of subluxation-based chiropractic care in 37 children diagnosed with Neuro-Deflective Disorders™—a term referring to developmental delays involving motor skills, sensory integration, emotional regulation, and learning capacity. Each child received an individualised chiropractic care plan aimed at correcting vertebral subluxations through gentle spinal adjustments.
The study reported significant improvements in neurological and developmental function. Parents observed better focus, emotional stability, coordination, and overall health. Objective assessments also demonstrated measurable gains in gross and fine motor function, eye movement control, and cognitive processing skills.
While further research is needed, these findings suggest a strong association between vertebral subluxation and neurodevelopmental delays. Chiropractic care that addresses spinal misalignment may positively influence a child’s developmental trajectory and quality of life.

“My son continues to flourish on a daily basis”
“In December 2023, my 4-year-old embarked on his chiropractic journey. At the outset, he displayed limited verbal communication, relied on diapers, exhibited minimal social engagement, and had limited comprehension. However, following his initial session with Dr. Elliot, remarkable progress ensued. He swiftly transitioned out of diapers, mastered toilet use, made significant strides in speech development, showcased noticeable improvement in school interactions and friendships, and even began writing his name and numbers. Now, five months into bi-weekly sessions, my son continues to flourish on a daily basis. Our gratitude knows no bounds for Dr. Elliot and his team.

“I can’t wait to see how many more positive changes we’ll see”
“My 9 year old son has been under Dr. Quan’s care and we started noticing significant changes in his sleep immediately after the first session. It took just a few weeks of session to see changes in his emotional health, stress handling and anxiety. I can’t wait to see how many more positive changes we’ll see. Thank you Top Chiropractic!”

“A huge impact on my son’s development“
“My 5 year old has suspected ASD. We noticed an exponential improvement in his speech after Christian started adjusting him. He went from only speaking a handful of phrases to holding full conversations in 6 months! He has also become more alert and aware.
After 3 years of speech therapy, with minimal improvement, I strongly believe this new positive development is due to these upper cervical adjustments as its the only variable we’ve introduced other than changing his milk.
I’m so glad we found Christian. This simply, non invasive treatment has had a huge impact on my son’s development and I can’t thank Christian enough for this!”

“I cannot recommend enough to anyone worried about their childs development”
“We came across Dr Christian and Top Chiropractors by chance after searching for answers to our 3 years olds delays with communication. We had our first call with Dr Elliot who explained everything they could help with. Max has autism, speech and communication delay and, what we thought was completely unrelated, an odd shaped head. After researching down many an internet rabbit hole, i came across someone who advised a child born by csection, forceps, who has a flat side to their head and has developmental delays and/traits of autism to look into an upper cervical chiropractor.
I’m beyond happy with all the help Dr Christian has given us, advice on all areas of wellbeing for Max, not just the adjustments to his neck. We have seen such a difference in him since we started, and we are absolutely sure it is down to the work Dr Christian has done. Max is now repeating words he hears us say or from TV, can identify colours and animals, and has started reading words from familiar books. I cannot recommend enough to anyone worried about their childs development.”

“Changed my autistic son’s life”
“Dr Christian and Dr Jimmy changed my autistic son’s life. My son’s story is not just an autism diagnosis, it is the story of a child who would not stop crying from pain, difficulty walking (hypermobility) (constant ear infection) (constant constipation from baby to 6 years old) in the description may seem like something not serious, but they seriously affected his development and life. After several visits with Dr Christian and Dr Jimmy, his health has completely improved, now he has started to say his first words. Thank you Dr Christian and Dr Jimmy. Thank you for bringing smile to his face.“
