Children’s Growth Care
Guided by measurement, shaped around your child.
Understand growth with a clear picture of height, body composition and movement. Our Burnaby, Langley and Downtown Vancouver clinics bring growth records, assessment and everyday habits together in an individual care plan.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Height and weight trends — We plot measurements on growth charts and compare changes over time, alongside nutrition and development.
InBody body composition — Muscle and body fat measurements help guide practical recommendations for meals, activity and sleep.
Growth-plate ultrasound — We assess growth-plate regions at the wrist and knee, reviewing the images with your child’s growth history.
Posture, movement and feet — SFMA movement screening, balance and foot alignment help identify restrictions and guide exercise or manual care.
YOUR CHILD’S CARE PLAN
Your practitioner explains the findings and develops a plan around growth stage, nutrition, sleep and physical activity. Recommendations may include home exercises, Chuna manual care, acupuncture or an individual herbal prescription.
MEASURE, REVIEW AND ADJUST
Monthly reassessment is the usual starting point for growth tracking and reviewing herbal care. Additional treatment visits depend on your child’s assessment and plan. We compare recorded changes and update recommendations at follow-up.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST VISIT
What should we bring? Bring recent height and weight records, previous test results and details of current supplements. Information about meals, sleep and exercise is also helpful.
Is this only for children who are shorter than their peers? No. We also assess growth rate, body composition, posture, movement and nutritional habits to understand your concerns.
Does every child have the same target weight? No. Height and weight percentiles are considered together with body composition, growth rate and development.
How often will we return? Monthly growth reviews are the usual starting point. Additional treatment visits are arranged according to the individual care plan.
