Sometimes, a single moment of courage changes the entire trajectory of a child’s life.

When a mother was approached by someone who noticed her baby’s cranial asymmetry, that conversation led her to the right people—and to the care her child truly needed.

Cranial-facial distortions like brachycephaly are often misunderstood and undertreated. Helmets alone don’t correct the underlying neurological and structural imbalances. Through specific spinal and cranial evaluation, chiropractors can help restore normal development and balance in the pediatric cranium.

If you want to understand how to evaluate and address these patterns in your own practice, join Drs. Rosen and Watson, along with Ashley Dalidowitz, in their online course:�“Understanding Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development.”

The Role of the Nervous System in Childhood Behavior

The nervous system serves as the master control center for the body. It processes sensory input, regulates physiological responses, and governs emotional regulation and motor control. When the nervous system is functioning optimally, children are more capable of adapting to their environment, focusing on tasks, managing their emotions, and communicating effectively. However, when stress or interference impacts this system, especially during key developmental windows, behavioral symptoms can emerge.

When a child exhibits behavioral challenges, tantrums, hyperactivity, trouble focusing, or sleep disturbances, the common approach is to label and manage symptoms. Many parents and educators are quick to attribute these challenges to psychological or environmental factors. But what if these behavior...

Sensitivity to touch, light pressure, or seemingly minor pain can sometimes be more than just heightened sensitivity—it may indicate an underlying cranial distortion.

When the cranial bones are out of alignment, they can affect how the nervous system processes sensory input. This can manifest as touch sensitivity, headaches, irritability, or challenges with focus and regulation.

Understanding these signals early allows us to support healthier neurological integration and development.

The cranial bones play a key role in oral motor function, facial symmetry, and cranial nerve communication. When the frontal bone is misaligned, it can disrupt this delicate system—making feeding more difficult and less efficient.

Early recognition of these patterns matters. The sooner we identify and address them, the better we can support healthy neurological and structural development.

This is a photo of our firstborn, Emily, learning to brachiate, a wonderful cross-patterning activity we set up right in our home.

As parents, we have the privilege of creating an environment that encourages movement. When babies are given the freedom to explore, they’re not just strengthening their muscles. They are growing their brains. The result is a child whose nervous system becomes more organized and whose brain and body learn to communicate with increasing precision and ease.

In our new online course, Cranial Facial Distortions and Their Impact on Childhood Development, we’ll guide you through the normal developmental milestones, explain how the brain and nervous system are designed to mature and provide practical tools to help facilitate that development. We would love to give
every child the best opportunity for healthy growth and function.

Join us! This 10 week online program is designed for anyone looking to understand human potential and the difference between "common" vs "normal"

A distortion in the frontal bone can change the shape of a baby’s skull—creating a narrower or elongated forehead—and may also impact how the jaw and mouth develop.

These shifts in cranial structure aren’t just visual. They can affect oral motor function, cranial nerve input, and overall neurological development.
Understanding these patterns is the first step toward addressing them.

Sometimes, one conversation changes everything.

When a mother was told her baby’s head shape looked “a little off,” it sparked a journey that led to answers—and the care her child truly needed.

Cranial-facial distortions like brachycephaly aren’t just cosmetic. They can reflect deeper neurological and structural imbalances. While helmets may address external shape, they don’t resolve the underlying dysfunction.

Chiropractors trained in cranial and spinal evaluation can play a pivotal role in restoring balance and supporting normal development.
