At Chiropractic On Winston, we offer specialised chiropractic care for babies with synostotic plagiocephaly (craniosynostosis) and flat head syndrome in Adelaide.
Our approach focuses on gentle, safe techniques to support healthy skull development and alleviate the discomfort that may come with these conditions.
Early intervention can have a significant impact on your baby’s health and overall development.
Synostotic plagiocephaly, commonly referred to as craniosynostosis, occurs when one or more of the sutures in a baby’s skull fuse prematurely.
This can result in an irregular head shape and, if left untreated, can lead to increased pressure on the brain and developmental issues.
Flat head syndrome, or positional plagiocephaly, is more common and occurs when a baby spends extended periods with pressure on one area of the head, causing it to flatten.
While less severe than craniosynostosis, it can still lead to imbalances in head shape and development.
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive treatment option for babies with flat head syndrome.
By gently manipulating the spine and cranial areas, chiropractic adjustments can help reduce tension and support the natural alignment of your baby’s skull and spine.
These adjustments encourage proper mobility and growth, reducing the risk of developmental delays.
For babies with craniosynostosis, chiropractic care can complement medical treatment, helping manage discomfort and supporting overall well-being during the course of care.
At Chiropractic On Winston, we have extensive experience working with babies and children, offering chiropractic care tailored to the unique needs of infants with cranial development concerns.
Our chiropractors use gentle techniques specifically designed for babies to ensure that treatment is safe, comfortable, and effective.
Gentle Chiropractic Techniques for Babies
Our chiropractors use soft, precise adjustments that are suitable for babies with flat head syndrome or craniosynostosis.
These techniques focus on relieving pressure in the spine and skull while promoting balanced development.
Each treatment is customised based on your baby’s specific condition and stage of development.
Supporting Healthy Skull Development
Early chiropractic intervention can play a crucial role in supporting the healthy growth and development of your baby’s skull.
Our treatments aim to alleviate any strain that may be impacting the normal shaping of the head, providing long-term benefits for your baby’s health and well-being.
Yes, chiropractic care is safe when performed by a trained professional. At Chiropractic On Winston, we use gentle, baby-specific techniques to ensure the utmost care during treatment.
Chiropractic adjustments help reduce tension and misalignments that may contribute to flat head syndrome. These gentle techniques support the proper shaping and mobility of the skull.
Chiropractic care cannot cure craniosynostosis, as it typically requires medical intervention. However, chiropractic can complement medical treatment by managing discomfort and supporting your baby’s overall well-being.
Early intervention is key for addressing flat head syndrome. We recommend bringing your baby in as soon as you notice any flattening of the head for the best results.
The frequency of visits depends on your baby’s condition and how they respond to treatment. Your chiropractor will develop a personalised care plan to ensure the best outcomes.
