In today's episode we chat with Dr Kelly Beanland, Director and Chiropractor at Hunter Health Spines in East Maitland. Kelly talks about the role of chiropractic in pregnancy and postpartum care. Chiropractic care is a holistic approach that focuses on the balance and function of the body. She debunks the myth of cracking bones and explains that gentle pressure is used during treatment. She explains that chiropractic care is safe for all family members, including infants and children. We delve into care for babies and discuss that new mothers commonly underrate post birth issues in babies, such as sleep, feeding and tummy time, as developmental instead of mechanistic, and chiropractic care can help with behavioural support. She also explains the way babies are birthed, either vaginally or via caesarean, can impact their development.

Kelly speaks about the importance she places on working in collaboration with paediatricians, IBCLC’s and other health practitioners. She offers advice for parents who may be concerned about their baby's development. She mentions the importance of sensory feedback, head control, and muscle tone in the first 12 months of life. She also highlights the role of tummy time in developing the brain and how different positions, such as chest tummy time or being carried in a carrier, can be beneficial.
