Christine Imms is a paediatric neurologist based at 50 Flemington Road, Melbourne, VIC 3052. She works with children who need careful help with movement, muscle tone, and brain-related symptoms. If you’ve been trying to make sense of a child’s changes over time, Christine focuses on sorting out what’s going on and working out a steady plan for care.
Her clinic supports kids and families dealing with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia, alternating hemiplegia of childhood, and hemiplegia. She also looks after children with spasticity and ongoing pain. At times, this can include tough day-to-day issues like discomfort, stiffness, and changes in how a child moves or uses their body.
Christine also helps with children who have autism spectrum disorder. Neurology care here isn’t just about scans or labels. In many cases, it’s about how symptoms show up at home, at school, and during play, and how to support the child in a way that makes sense for their everyday life.
With paediatric neurology, the details matter, but it’s also important to keep things clear and practical. Christine takes time to understand the story behind the symptoms, how they have changed, and what families are hoping for. She works with other health professionals so the approach is coordinated, not piecemeal.
When it comes to experience, Christine’s work centres on caring for children with neurological and movement-related needs. That means she spends her days thinking about how the brain affects the body, and how to support comfort, function, and development as the child grows.
In terms of education, Christine has formal medical training and a paediatric neurology background that guides her clinical decisions. She stays up to date with current thinking in the field, and in many cases this includes keeping an eye on research that could help improve care for children with these conditions.
There may also be times when clinical trial options come up, depending on what’s available and what suits the child’s situation. Christine can talk through what’s relevant and what the risks and benefits might mean in real life, so families can make informed choices.
If you’re looking for a calm, grounded approach to paediatric neurology in Melbourne, Christine Imms is there to help families take the next step.
