Giving birth is hard work, but so is being born! It can be rough on that little one getting through the pelvis, especially if any interventions were used like forceps, vacuum, or neck traction. Even a belly birth (caesarean) can put a lot of traction on your baby’s neck. Having your baby checked out after birth is a great way to give them a good start! For your older babies, check ups at large milestones can be scheduled to check for normal development and any other complaints.
We offer paediatric chiropractor services at both of our locations. Book now at Central Ave or Hyde Park.
Common paediatric issues that our chiropractors support:
Torticolis/Head Preferences
Plagiocephaly
Tongue and Lip Tie habilitation
Tension from Colic/Reflux/Gas
Birth Trauma
Developmental Delays
Musculoskeletal Pain
Latching and Feeding Support
Treating babies and children looks a lot different than treating adults. When adjusting babies, only a fingertip of pressure is used in a slow and gradual fashion, lots of stretches, and homework! The treatment is so gentle and safe that most babies sleep through it and can lay on their parent’s stomach during treatment. Working with children is always a pleasure for us. Children can have almost instantaneous results since they don’t have the years of chronic dysfunction like adults.
Rates:
Child Chiropractic Initial Assessment and Treatment (0 to 13 years old) - $135
Child Chiropractic Subsequent Treatment - $49
Note: Your child’s first appointment will be an initial consultation and assessment which will last 45 - 60 minutes for children. Subsequent visits will vary in length (15 minutes). You will automatically be emailed the intake form after you book your first appointment using our Jane App.
Health Coverage
Chiropractic services are covered by most extended health care plans.

You can check the details of your health plan online or contact your health plan administrator. See our DIRECT BILLING PAGE for what info we need to submit a claim on your behalf.
Dr. Holly Beckley, BKin(Hons), DC
I always knew I wanted to be in health care, helping people, and when I discovered Chiropractic and how it could be used to help the body heal from injury, function at a higher level and prevent future ailments with a non-invasive, drug-free and hands-on approach, I knew I had found the right profession for me. I first completed my Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology Degree at McMaster University in 2002 and then attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where I graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2006. Believing in the importance of ongoing education and wanting to be able to offer my patients the best care possible, I obtained my Certificate in Clinical Acupuncture from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2010 and have been trained in Active Release Technique. I enjoy learning new ways of helping my patients and regularly participate in continuing education programs. I truly enjoy working with patients of all ages to achieve their health care goals. Whether it be to resolve an injury, to improve movement or flexibility or simply feel one's best, Chiropractic may be able to help you and I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Dr. Andy Anderson, BSc(Hons), DC
My purpose on this earth is to: 1. be a mother, and 2. be a healer. As it turns out, I found my passion by combining the two. Born and raised in London, I completed my undergraduate in biology and Latin at Western University. I then moved to Toronto to complete my doctorate in chiropractic medicine at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Now back in London, I currently live with my husband, two puppers, and we are awaiting the arrival of our first child this fall! I became a chiropractic doctor in order to support the body's natural healing abilities with a drug-free, and holistic approach. I have extensive training in external pelvic floor therapy and abdominal rehabilitation. Furthermore, I am Webster certified, and trained in visceral manipulation, cranio-sacral therapy, Thompson technique, diversified, and Activator. My passion for women’s health and birth work was sparked years ago when I was present for the amazing birth of my niece. After that, I trained as a DONA Birth Doula and I have been supporting families throughout their pregnancy and birth ever since! My goal is to help close the gap on the motherhood standard of healthcare, and empower women to find the support they deserve. Mothers are the ultimate caretakers, and I’m here to take care of you!

Dr. Richelle Almeida-Knight, DC
I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career that would help others, but it wasn’t until I began my journey into chiropractic medicine that I understood what that pursuit would look like for me. After earning my Bachelor of Science, I went on to receive my Doctor of Chiropractic which then lead to an expansive internship at NY Chiropractic College. These experiences allowed me to uncover the ‘why’ behind my passions - helping families navigate beautiful changes in their lives. Practicing chiropractic has been such a rewarding feeling that sometimes words fail to describe.
I am so fulfilled not only by helping women and their babies thrive, but also through educating them on their bodies and how they can grow stronger connections to them. I also find it imperative that women have a reliable, safe option that they can depend on to receive the gentle and informed treatments that they deserve. I am so grateful for the opportunity to make positive contributions to people’s lives that will hopefully leave lasting impressions on their total health and well-being.
I will be working on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Central and Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at Hyde Park. I am accepting new patients at this time and look forward to meeting you!
