Why does my baby’s head look flat on one side?
That’s a common concern—and the condition is called plagiocephaly.
Plagiocephaly often happens when a baby consistently favors one head position—usually due to tight muscles, restricted joints, or tension in the neck or cranium. While helmets may be recommended in some cases, there’s often more going on under the surface that needs to be addressed first.
🧠 Chiropractic care and cranial adjustments help by:
• Gently improving mobility in the neck and upper spine
• Releasing tension in the muscles that cause baby to look only one way
• Supporting balanced movement and development
• Promoting optimal brain-body communication through the nervous system
• Encouraging natural reshaping and proper head symmetry over time
At Fishel Chiropractic, we assess not just the flat spot—but the why behind it. We work to restore balance to your baby’s body so they can grow, move, and develop with ease. No forceful techniques—just gentle, skilled care that respects your baby’s nervous system.
✨ Chiropractic care isn’t a helmet replacement—it’s the foundation for functional healing.
