Your Child’s Head Shape


It is a myth that a child’s odd-shaped head is no issue and that it will fix itself with time. However, odd shape can be the first indication that your child is susceptible to developmental delay.  A misshapen head is not merely a cosmetic issue, it is a brain stem issue.  If your child’s head looks uneven or you notice flat areas, this can indicate restrictions between the skull and the soft layers that cover the brain and spinal cord.  A healthy brain requires good movement of the skull and spine, when this movement is impaired, brain and nerve function are also impaired.

Sometimes children have nerve and spinal distress that results in their head being tilted to one side so that one ear sits higher than the other.  At other times a child’s head may be rotated or turned more to one side, so that they display a preference for having their head turned this way.”

Whether your child’s head is odd-shaped or not and whether their head sits unevenly or not it is best to have their skeletal system checked as early as possible by a Chiropractor.  Our focus is not aesthetics – their aim is to help increase the neurological function of your child.
