KST A to Z
Infant crying on back
Simon Mervyn-Jones, DC
Melbourne, Australia
A ten-month-old baby boy would cry and arch his whole body on attempts to lay him on his back. The pram and car seat caused distress.
On the first visit, I adjusted right C1, left superior sphenoid, left posterior temporal, inferior sacrum and inferior occiput - temporary reprieve for one night.
On the second visit, five days later, bilateral anterior sphenoids, right C1, T6, and bilateral TMJ - the child began settling better on his back, tolerating pram and car seat without crying.
On the third visit two days later: T9, right C1 and sagittal suture - good at nighttime and on his back. On the fourth visit three days later: right post C7 (only finding). Child is now symptom-free. Mum and now the grandparents have begun care.
