Can Upper Cervical Care Help Babies?

YES! We are pleased to announce that the procedure we use is very effective in helping children and newborns.

We all know how carefully we should hold newborn babies, properly supporting their head. Yet, during the birth process, we often see the doctor apply significant tractional force to the baby's head and neck.

These traumatic birthing methods can be the cause of spinal injury (Yashon, 1986; Towbin, 1969; Reid, 1983). Both spinal cord and brainstem injury that may occur, particularly during a traumatic birth, can often escape diagnosis (Towbin, 1969).

Mal-Positioned Fetus Often abnormal constraint can take place during the last few months of pregnancy, while the fetus is developing in the womb. If a fetus is mal-positioned, he or she can be susceptible to spinal compromise (atlas misalignment) and malformations.
Delivery This is an image of baby being delivered from the birth canal. Doctors are taught to traction the neck to assist the delivery of the first shoulder, and then pull the head the other way to get the second shoulder out. If the infant is having a difficult time coming out, it does not take a lot of force from the attendant (doctor or mid-wife) to cause an atlas misalignment.

One of the most severe traumas every person has to experience is the birthing process itself, especially in Cesarean deliveries (C-Section). Studies have shown that Cesarean deliveries can be more traumatic for the baby due to the increased traction applied to the neck.

This force tractions the babies spine and can produce spinal imbalance. If this imbalance is left there long enough, the baby can develop colic, ear infections, allergies, asthma, or have irregular sleep patterns.

Upper Cervical Care removes this imbalance and can restore babies’ health.
