Pregnancy is a journey for both mom and baby. A German doctor, Dr. Godfrey Gutmann, conducted a study of 1,000 newborns shortly after birth. He found that over 80% of infants had suffered an injury to their neck, which resulted in the need for chiropractic care. Trauma during birth can show up in many different forms, such as:
– Assisted delivery by forceps, vacuum, or pulling/twisting of an infant
– C-section due to lack of progress
– Cervix failing to dilate
– Restricted birthing positions
These traumas can affect an infant’s development if they are left untreated. Added stress on the nervous system can lead to torticollis, nursing difficulties, and colic. We aim to help parents and infants deal with the after-effects of birth trauma physically and emotionally.
