Birth Trauma

Yes, pulling and twisting on the head and neck during the delivery process can cause damage and injury to the neck!

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development.  Birth traumas that result in damage to the spine are much more common than many new parents realize and if left uncorrected can result in health problems that many parents would not think to be related. Like all new parents you want your baby to begin their journey through life on the right foot.  Spinal injuries during the birth process remain under publicized and therefore these types of injuries are not investigated, documented, and go untreated.   

Detection and correction of spinal injuries due to birth trauma have been shown in the literature to be necessary and highly beneficial in newborns and children.  There is a growing body of research on the benefits of having your children checked for spinal problems that may have occurred from the birth process! There is also a growing body of research on the benefits of care during pregnancy as well.  One journal that we like and follow is the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal, & Family Health – Chiropractic.
