Birth is tough work for both mothers and babies. There are a lot of pressures and forces being exerted onto your baby during her journey into the world. A recent study by Viola Frymann demonstrated that 90 percent of newborns suffered the effects of birth trauma: associated strain through the neck and cranial areas following birth.

Birth in its many different forms can be quite traumatic. While each birth is unique, there is always a chance that the baby suffers some sort of strain due to a variety of reasons. Even the most natural births can result in trauma that goes undetected. As researcher G. Gutmann has written, “The trauma from the birth process remains an under-publicized and therefore significantly under-treated problem.”

Your child’s HEALTH begins in pregnancy and at birth.

Although all infants should be checked right after birth, here are three indicators to schedule a chiropractic appointment:

1. Their head tilts to one side
2. Difficulty turning their head to one side
3. Difficulty settling down and sleeping soundly
