NSW chiropractor Grant Bond allegedly snuck into Wollongong Private Hospital to treat a three-day-old baby, claiming his touch allowed the infant to have "his first poo!". Similar allegations have been levelled at a Victorian chiropractor.
A woman who gave birth in John Hunter Hospital in 2008 recounted a female chiropractor sneaking into the maternity ward to adjust the newborn of a mother who lay in the bed next to her.
"Her bub would have been about 12 hours old and she and her husband had a visitor that they were trying to talk all hush-hush to," said the woman who asked not to be named.
"The chiro 'adjusted' the baby, which the baby did not seem to enjoy, and she told the mum that vaginal birth was incredibly traumatic for the baby and every newborn should be adjusted within 24 hours of birth to make sure they're aligned," she said.
"[The mother] said the chiro had to sneak in like some sort of criminal and pretend to be a visitor because the hospital won't let her do her work."
General manager of John Hunter Hospital, Debbie Bradley, said "this is not a practice that John Hunter is aware of and it is not endorsed within our facility".
