Birth interventions like forceps, vacuum extraction, or even a long, difficult delivery can create stress + 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 + help your baby’s body do what it’s designed to do, which is grow + reshape naturally 🙌
Many parents see head shape improve significantly during care at Ascension, 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 + her jaw has corrected itself now that her skull is molded properly. She loves coming to the chiro to play with other kids + we normally leave with her feeling better/acting better immediately!” ❤️
