A Melbourne chiropractor accused of dangerously manipulating a newborn baby's spine in an "eye watering" video that went viral has been temporarily banned from treating children.

The Chiropractic Board of Australia has ordered Parkdale chiropractor Ian Rossborough not to treat patients under the age of 18 while it investigates his conduct.

In a statement on the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency's website, Dr Rossborough has entered an undertaking not to treat babies, children and teenagers during that time.

The ban, which stays in force until June 2, includes "assessment, undertaking a diagnosis/clinical impression, formulating and implementing a management plan, the provision of any manual therapy (including manipulation of the spine), monitoring or reviewing care and facilitating coordination or continuity of care".
