Birth interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or even a long, difficult delivery can create stress and tension in your baby’s delicate nervous system. 🧠 This tension often locks up the neck muscles, making it hard for your baby to turn their head freely. When they start favoring one side, a flat spot or spots called plagiocephaly can begin to form.
The real issue isn’t just the shape of the skull, and it's not really a muscular issue either — it’s the stuck nervous system underneath that’s preventing full, balanced movement.
With Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, we gently release that tension, restore normal movement, and help your baby’s body do what it’s designed to do, which is grow and reshape naturally. 🙌
Many parents see head shape improve significantly during care at Experience Life Chriopractic, often reducing helmet time or avoiding it altogether. Parents like Millie's mom, who said, “Millie only had to wear a helmet for about eight weeks, which the doctor was blown away by. Her head is perfectly shaped, and her jaw has corrected itself now that her skull is molded properly. She loves coming to the chiro to play with other kids, and we normally leave with her feeling better/acting better immediately!” ❤️
