How could my child have a misaligmment?
🔎 At birth – A difficult childbirth could be behind an upper cervical misalignment. However, even during normal childbirth, the head may be bent or twisted in ways that result in misalignment.
🔎 As an infant – It can take up to 6 months after birth for a baby’s neck muscles to develop to the point where the child has full head control. Most babies begin to lift their head up for the first time by a month old. But it can take up to four months before an infant can hold up his or her head while in a sitting position.
🔎 While at play – From playing around the house to hanging out on the playground at school, there are plenty of opportunities for kids to trip, fall, and suffer a misalignment. Kids are pretty resilient, so most will feel okay just moments after a fall, but if a misalignment occurred, it could work under the surface for months or years to cause symptoms.
🔎 Car accidents – A car seat can save a child’s life when an accident occurs. However, it may not stop all damage from occurring. Anything that can jar the neck can cause misalignment.
These are just a few ways that a child may have ended up with an upper cervical misalignment, perhaps even months or years ago. That could lead to symptoms such as headache/migrane, neck pain, back pain, scoliosis, seizures, ADHD, post concussion syndrome.
