Developmental Delay
Chiropractic care of a child with significant
short stature, hypotonia, developmental delay, and seizures.
Parnell CA, Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics Vol
5, No.1
This is the case of a three year old female child diagnosed
with congenital encephalopathy, associated hypotonia, seizures,
and developmental delay of unknown etiology.
History revealed
that she was in a breech position and turned at 32 weeks using
the external version technique by the obstetrician, had a vacuum
extraction and prolonged labor with an emergency C-section.
Child
was adjusted using an activator ™ adjusting
instrument and cranial adjustments were performed to realign
the cranial bones and restore cranio-sacral rhythm. The child’s
head became more symmetrical and she began to climb on all
fours and ultimately began walking. She was intellectually
more aware and doing better at school.
