Welcoming a new baby into the world is a moment of joy, but the birth process itself can place significant physical stress on a newborn’s body. Even in the smoothest deliveries, the forces exerted on a baby’s head, neck, and spine can be immense.

This can lead to birth trauma, a condition that often results in subluxations—misalignments in the spine that disrupt the nervous system.
