What Is Cranial Work? 🤎
A baby's skull is beautifully designed for birth and rapid brain growth. During pregnancy and birth, the bones of the skull are able to move and mold, and after birth they continue to adapt as the brain grows.
Dr. Martin Rosen teaches that the infant cranium is dynamic and designed to support growth and development. Evaluating cranial movement and function can be an important part of a thorough pediatric chiropractic assessment.
Sometimes physical stress during pregnancy or birth may contribute to patterns of tension or asymmetry. You might notice:
🤎 A preference for turning the head to one side
🤎 A flat spot developing on the head
🤎 Difficulty nursing or latching
🤎 Body tension or stiffness
🤎 Difficulty settling or getting comfortable
These signs don't necessarily mean something is wrong, but they may be worth a closer evaluation.
At Wild Bloom Chiropractic, Dr. Brandi has completed advanced postgraduate education in pediatric cranial assessment and Chiropractic Cranial Adjusting™ through Dr. Martin Rosen and the Peak Potential Institute. Her specialized training builds on years of clinical experience caring for infants, children, and adults with gentle cranial techniques.
Our approach is gentle, specific, and individualized. We don't "reshape" a baby's head or force bones into place. Instead, we carefully evaluate areas of restriction and use precise, light-touch techniques to support normal cranial movement, reduce areas of tension, and support healthy nervous system function.
When appropriate, we also collaborate with pediatricians, lactation consultants, pediatric dentists, physical and occupational therapists, and other providers to support comprehensive care.
Every baby's story is unique, and every family deserves answers and support. 🌿
If you've noticed head favoring, a flat spot, feeding challenges, or body tension in your little one, we'd be honored to help determine whether a neurologically focused evaluation may be appropriate for your family.
