Common symptoms include neck pain, headaches, shoulder discomfort, and poor posture, which can lead to long-term issues like spinal degeneration and reduced lung capacity.

Preventative strategies such as maintaining proper posture, taking device breaks, and performing simple stretches can protect your spine and overall health.

Plagiocephaly, or flat head syndrome, is a common condition in infants, characterised by the flattening of the skull, typically on one side or the back. It has become more prevalent due to the "Back to Sleep" campaigns aimed at reducing SIDS, but it can affect a child's motor and cognitive development if not addressed. This article delves into the causes of plagiocephaly, including in utero constraints, birth trauma, and prolonged back sleeping, and outlines its potential impacts on brain development. It also discusses various treatment methods, particularly how chiropractic care can play a key role in correcting the condition, promoting healthy cranial and neurodevelopment, and preventing future complications. The importance of early intervention and holistic approaches in managing plagiocephaly is emphasised, along with practical tips for parents to help their babies recover and thrive.
