Abstract/Notes

Abstract: Objective/Clinical Features: This limited case series presents two infants who were born via long or assisted labours, who went on to experience issues related to range of motion. They underwent subluxation-based chiropractic care using diversified techniques which were modified for their age and tensile strengths.

Intervention/Outcome: A reduction in subluxation listings was concomitant with an increase in range of motion and/or a resolution of shoulder dystocia and other subjective improvements self-reported by parents.

Conclusion: Birth is a significant event for both mother and baby. Given the prevalence of restricted range of motion in infants, chiropractic care may be considered a positive care modality for infants who have limited range of motion or birth trauma. Further research is required.
