Robert is 7 weeks old. His mom brought him in today because he is developing a flat spot on the right side of his skull. His head was tilted to the far right and he couldn’t straighten it so laying on the side made it flat. After one adjustment he was able to hold his head almost completely to the center on his own!!
The first bone in the spine (Atlas) protects the brain stem. This area is responsible for very important processes: heart rate, breath rate, temperature- to name a few. When it’s misaligned, it causes problems like anxiety, restlessnesss, digestives issues, latching issues, sleep issues, etc.
If breath rate is “off” the baby gets more air and causes reflux, colic, gas, etc.
that area also directly causes a baby’s anxiety because they’re in “fight or flight” mode.
We didn’t get a before picture in the office but his mom sent a picture of his “before” posture with his head all the way to the right and the picture in the car seat she took while he was still in the office, immediately after his first adjustment.
