Why isn’t my child talking yet?
Speech delay can be incredibly stressful for parents, especially when your child seems “stuck”, frustrated, or unable to express their needs. But what many families don’t realise is that speech isn’t just about the mouth or tongue… it’s a neurological process.
We summarise a perspective many parents have never been shown:
🔹The role the upper cervical spine and brainstem play in speech development
🔹How birth stress, early falls, or head shape changes can influence the nervous system
🔹Why children with speech delay often experience other challenges too (sleep issues, meltdowns, digestive problems, sensory overload)
🔹And how gentle, precise chiropractic care can help restore clearer communication between the brain and body
We aren’t “treating” speech delay. We’re helping ensure the nervous system is functioning at its best, and when that happens, many children begin to progress more naturally.
Every child is unique, and every journey looks different.
If you’re wondering whether nervous system stress may be contributing to your child’s developmental delays, our Top Chiropractic team is here to support you.
