Can you see the leg that is shorter than the other with this little girl???? This is a 3.5 month old girl who was diagnosed with #plagiocephaly (misshapen head) . The medical treatment for plagiocephaly is a #helmut. While this can reshape a child's head it is the typical #treatthesymptom approach of medicine instead of asking what is the cause and removing it. So what can be an underlying cause of plagiocephaly? When a child is born, often times the delivery can be traumatic. #forceps and #vacuumextraction deliveries account for 2.5 percent of all births. These procedures, while often necessary , they produce up to 120 lbs of force to the babies #ccj ( skull neck region) and can cause spinal #subluxation or misalignment. When the #atlas (c-1) vertebrae misaligned it irritates the #brainstem and causes postural muscle tone imbalances. In the case of plagiocephaly, the muscles on the head and neck become spastic and cause the bone plates in the child's cranium to become misshapen. Imbalances in the #cranial musculature can lead to plagiocephaly! In the case of this little girl, she only turned her head to the right, had #reflux, plagiocephaly , and was grumpy more than the average infant. We ran a series of tests to determine how her #uppercervicalspine was misaligned and then made a precise, gentle #adjustment to her atlas vertebrae. Her first adjustment was three weeks ago. Each subsequent visit she did not need a correction as the objective tests indicated she was "in alignment" . Following her correction her #gerd significantly reduced, her neck range of motion normalized, and in the attached pictures you can see her follow up picture her head is becoming more symmetrical. Today she came in for her fourth week check up and as you see in the picture her left leg is at least 3/4 inch shorter than the other. So, today she had her second #blairuppercervical correction. Her parents said , " we knew she was off because she became grumpy again and she only holds her head to the right again. Moral of story. Look for causes - don't treat symptoms. #naturalhealing works.
