• Keep your shoulders back and relaxed
• Align your ears over your shoulders when sitting or standing
• Take regular breaks from sitting - stretch and move!
• Support your lower back with proper seating
• Strengthen your core to help maintain natural spinal curves.

👶✨ Let’s Talk About Flat Head Syndrome (Plagiocephaly)

Have you noticed your little one’s head looking a bit flat on one side? This is called plagiocephaly, and it’s more common than most parents realize. It often happens from prolonged pressure on the soft developing skull, sometimes from muscle tightness (like torticollis) that makes baby prefer looking one way or pressure in the womb. 💕

While it can look worrying, the good news is that with gentle support, your baby’s head and body can grow and develop in a balanced way.

🌿 How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Using a very gentle approach called Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT®), we:
✨ Use light, soothing pressure – perfect for babies
✨ Support natural skull and spine balance
✨ Encourage better movement and posture
✨ Help relieve tension that may affect feeding, sleep, and comfort

Every baby grows at their own pace, and sometimes they just need a little extra help to thrive. 💛

💡 If you notice flattening of your baby’s head, or if they always prefer looking to one side, a gentle chiropractic check-up could make a world of difference.

🌸 Because when baby feels better, the whole family does.

My chiropractor clicks my back, so why can’t I just do it myself?

Or better yet, get a friend or family member to do it for me.

Chiropractors are extensively trained in the art of adjustments.

They study for many years to learn safe and effective methods to administer such treatment. By getting your friends or family to “click” your back you are putting yourself at risk of injury.

Here are some reasons why you should only be adjusted by a licensed professional:
1. They have received their education and training at a registered tertiary institution such as DUT or UJ.
2. You will receive the correct assessment and diagnosis of the problem at hand.
3. They will assess the necessary contra-indications for manipulative therapy and the safety based on the above findings.
4. You will receive follow-up care that is formulated specifically for you and your problem.

While family and friends may mean well, they typically lack the specialised training and knowledge required to perform safe and effective adjustments.

This could lead to unintended consequences, such as muscle strain, joint injury, or exacerbation of an underlying condition.

It’s always advisable to consult a registered chiropractor who can assess your specific needs, provide an accurate diagnosis, and deliver appropriate care based on their expertise and training.
