The rough and tumble of every day life is usually shrugged off with most children, but there are many incidents which can lead to back or neck pain, migraines and headaches, sometimes this can also lead to poor concentration or the child unable to sit still.
This may be due to numerous bumps and scrapes, sports, possibly a difficult birth, poor posture or carrying heavy sports equipment and school bags.
The birthing process can be really tough on the tiny infant, the baby has to squeeze through a small birth canal to be born. During this process the babies head will yield slightly allowing the baby to travel through the canal, after the birth the babies head will return back to a normal shape. However if this process does not complete fully, the baby may be left with some discomfort.
Most babies cope very well and are born contented, happy and able to feed, sleep and grow normally. Some babies however can take a time to settle, particularly if they have had a difficult birth, these babies may show signs of irritability, feeding problems, difficult to settle to sleep, colic, sickness and wind. This may indicate that there is a misalignment to the babies' skeletal system.
For older children bumps and tumbles associated with growing up can often cause misalignments, in addition carrying heavy bags, playing sports, sitting in ill fitting furniture at school, computer games for prolonged periods and lap top use in awkward positions may also contribute to headaches, back or neck pain.
