Even during the gentlest and most natural of births, Traumatic Birth Syndrome can have an immediate impact on a new baby. As the baby is making its way through the iStock_000005725002XSmallbirth canal, physical pressure can force the baby’s neck to twist and bend, causing misalignment to the upper cervical vertebrae.

Traumatic Birth Syndrome is not a new condition. A researcher by the name of Duncan measured the amount of force it would take to severely injure a baby’s neck during delivery. He found that 90 pounds of force was enough to cause stillbirth, while less than that would cause the spinal joints to sprain. Duncan commented, “This is not what most obstetricians would consider a great force.”

Traumatic Birth Syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms including:

  • Respiratory failure
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Colic
  • Asthma
  • Reoccurring ear infections
  • Chronic colds and flu
  • Sleeping difficulty
  • Headaches
  • Neck and back pain
  • And many more

Traumatic Birth Syndrome doesn’t always occur immediately after birth. Sometime it can take months or years to surface.

For example, a 5-year-old child whose birth was a very traumatic C-section, never had a properly functioning bladder. Her father, who was an eyewitness to the traumatic birth, described how his baby’s lower spine was twisted during the delivery. After just a month of Chiropractic care the parents were amazed that their child’s problem was gone. Their family is now committed to chiropractic care as a way to maximize their health potential.

Another chiropractic patient, who began care for a herniated disc in his neck, indicated that when he was 22 years old he had his gall bladder removed. He didn’t understand why his gall bladder had failed at such a young age. The doctors didn’t know either. When he saw his x-rays for the first time he noticed a huge kink in the bones between his shoulders. His mouth dropped wide open when he learned that this was the area of his spine where the nerves supplied his gall bladder. Upon further investigation, he learned his birth was a forceps delivery. He wished someone had told his mother about Chiropractic.

My chiropractic colleagues around the world all agree that we would much rather examine and adjust every newborn baby on the planet than do one autopsy. We would much rather adjust babies than wait 26 years and learn about young people having cancer or gall bladder disease in areas where their nerve systems had been injured and compromised since birth.

The human body was designed to function as a well-oiled machine until the ripe old age of at least 100. There are people who are living to be 100 years old in various parts of the world and they are functioning absolutely fine.

Traumatic Birth Syndrome, whether it causes symptoms immediately or just diminishes human potential over the course of a lifetime, must be dealt with immediately.

Don’t be fooled if your medical doctor says your baby is fine. Medical doctors get little to no training in the detection and correction of the vertebral subluxation complex caused by Traumatic Birth Syndrome and will almost certainly miss it.

Chiropractors, on the other hand, have been-detecting and correcting Traumatic Birth Syndrome and the vertebral subluxation complex for over 100 years through simple, gentle procedures called adjustments.

All children should be examined by a Chiropractor immediately after birth. Take this critical step to ensure that your children grow up as healthy as they are designed to be.
