Chiropractic care for your baby

It is common to get strange looks from people I talk to about taking infants to the chiropractor. I know what is going through their heads: Is it safe? Babies don’t have back pain. Do babies get adjusted the same way I do? These are legitimate concerns for any parent, but to answer them we ask parents to come and talk to us

We love kids! We see babies and children of all ages, literally from birth. We have a special area of the clinic just for mothers and babies we aim to keep your baby comfy and happy.

What is Electro-Medical Acupuncture (EMA)?

Electro-medical acupuncture is a modern twist on traditional dry needling that we use in Afon House Chiropractic Clinic. EMA uses tiny electrical currents that are passed through delicate needles. It's safe, gentle, and used to enhance the natural healing process in the body.

In our chiropractic clinic, we often integrate EMA to help with:

Reducing chronic pain

Decreasing muscle tension

Improving blood flow & nerve function

Supporting recovery from injuries

Calming the nervous system

The added electrical stimulation helps amplify the therapeutic effects of standard dry needling — it is especially useful in treating back pain, sciatica, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis and even tension headaches.

Is It Effective?

Yes! Research supports its use for pain relief and improved function. Studies show EMA can trigger endorphin release, reduce inflammation, and modulate nerve activity—often providing results where other treatments fall short.

Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn injury or looking to enhance your chiropractic care, electro-medical acupuncture might be the next step in your healing journey. Call the clinic on 01722 820400 to book!
