Birth: The First Potential Stress Point:
The miracle of birth can sometimes leave little bodies with unforeseen challenges. The birth process, even under normal conditions, is frequently the first cause of spinal stress. After the head of the child appears, there is often a significant amount of twisting and pulling on the baby’s neck, lifting it up to receive the lower shoulder and then down to receive the upper shoulder. This creates significant stress on the spine of the baby.
Here’s why the early years matter:
- Critical Brain Development: The first two years are crucial, with over 60% of brain development happening after birth. This makes early intervention key in addressing potential spinal issues affecting nervous system function.
- Hidden Impacts of Normal Events: Birth itself, though natural, can involve twisting and pulling forces on the baby’s spine. Even seemingly harmless falls, playful bounces, or rough play can contribute to stress.
Uncorrected spinal stress, even from seemingly insignificant events, can manifest as:
- Feeding difficulties
- Head tilt (torticollis)
- Excessive fussiness and crying
- Muscle imbalances
- Developmental delays
“Spinal cord and brain stem traumas often occur during the process of birth but frequently escape diagnosis. Infants often experience lasting neurological defects. Spinal trauma at birth is essentially attributed to longitudinal traction, especially when this force is combined with flexion and torsion of the spinal axis during delivery.”
