Kids are under more stress today than ever before, and it’s hitting them earlier and more often.  Stress and trauma often begin with the birthing process. When babies are delivered, it is not uncommon for their heads to be pulled or twisted to help them out of the birth canal. The pulling motion can sometimes cause subluxation or spinal misalignment most commonly found in the top bone of the neck. This subluxation can lead to decreased nerve function and could even cause problems such as colic, constipation, difficulty breastfeeding, and ear infections.

Our Orlando, Florida-based team is able to examine your child and see how their nervous system is functioning. As children grow and start to reach milestones such as crawling, pulling themselves up, walking, and playing it is important to make sure their “master control” system (nervous system) is clear. During these developmental stages, the nervous system is constantly experiencing new loads and is reprogramming itself to take on new tasks. During that process, many kids experience falls and traumas.
