Dr Amanda Tsen has gone well beyond general chiropractic training with Chiropaeds. Her paediatric expertise is focused on caring for infants, children, and pregnant/postnatal mothers using age appropriate gentle approaches.
Here’s what that typically involves:
1. Advanced paediatric assessment skills
She's trained to assess babies and children at different developmental stages—looking at movement patterns, posture, reflexes, feeding mechanics, and milestones. This is quite different from adult assessments.
2. Gentle, age specific techniques
Instead of the typical “cracking” people associate with chiropractic, Dr Amanda uses very light, low force techniques suitable for newborns and young children.
3. Childhood conditions managed
• Feeding/latching difficulties in infants
• Torticollis (head tilt) and flat head (plagiocephaly)
• Colic and unsettled babies
• Postural issues in kids (e.g. slouching, asymmetry)
• Sports related strains in older children
4. Pregnancy and postnatal care
She often support mothers with:
• Pelvic and lower back discomfort during pregnancy
• Preparation for birth (pelvic alignment, mobility)
• Postnatal recovery
5. Developmental and neuromusculoskeletal focus
Her training emphasises how the spine, joints, and nervous system interact during growth and development so care is tailored to each stage of childhood.
6. Referral awareness and collaborative management
A key part of reputable paediatric programs is knowing when something is outside their scope. Dr Amamda is trained to refer to GPs, paediatricians, lactation consultants, or others when needed
