Dear Parents, we recognize that witnessing your child grapple with developmental delays can be an emotional rollercoaster ride. Remember, you’re not alone on this journey, and we’re here to equip you with valuable insights, essential information, and a clear path forward that can truly transform your child’s development!
This blog is dedicated to parents who are facing the challenges of developmental delays in their children, particularly those who have tirelessly explored various therapies without seeing the expected progress. If you’ve already ventured into Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Speech Therapy, yet find your child’s development at a standstill, then this resource is tailored just for you.
Interpreting Developmental Delays
Developmental delays encompass a broad spectrum of challenges, impacting crucial areas like cognition, socialization, emotional well-being, speech and language proficiency, and motor skills. Among the common concerns parents often have regarding delays, walking and speech and communication stand out.
Yet, it’s super important to zero in on Neurological and Motor Function. These form the bedrock for comprehensive brain and neurological growth. With our expertise in Neurologically-Focused Pediatric Chiropractic, we are adept at delving into the genuine root causes behind issues related to motor tone, coordination, and developmental delays.
The Missing Connection: Central Nervous System and Birth Interventions
The heart of the matter lies in the Central or Autonomic Nervous System—a system often overlooked when it comes to developmental delays. Surprisingly, the #1 cause of problems with Neuro-Motor connection, coordination, and development is related to an issue that’s not discussed enough—birth interventions and trauma.
When interventions like forceps, vacuum, induction, and c-sections are involved in birth, the sensitive areas of the brainstem, cerebellum, and upper neck can suffer strain, trauma, and even injury. These areas control motor function and coordination, and any disruption here can lead to developmental delays.
The Perfect Storm and Subluxation
Such injuries, or subluxations, can initiate a chain reaction of developmental challenges, creating what we term “The Perfect Storm.” This storm can impact your child’s sleep, digestion, head, and neck control, crawling, walking, and other aspects of neurological development over time.
Identifying whether this subluxation and dysfunction exists in your child’s brainstem and upper neck region is a critical step that traditional pediatricians and therapists often miss. Only specialized Pediatric Chiropractors can assess and examine this area’s health and function with advanced technology called INSiGHT Scans.
Restoring balance to the Central and Autonomic Nervous System is the essential action step you and all parents need to know about. It’s time to equip you with this knowledge, as millions deserve access to these insights.
If you suspect your child may have tension, subluxation, or dysfunction in their brainstem controlling neurological development, dive into the provided links to understand more about Developmental Delay and the role Pediatric Chiropractic can play in their journey.
