Plagiocephaly Therapy Using Osteopathy
Plagiocephaly is definitely an abnormal or deformed shape from the skull. It can occur while a infant is in the womb due to compression from the cranium (head) by lying in 1 position for any length of time, becoming engaged for any long time, a lengthy labour having a hard birth, or when the infant gets stuck although contractions are still occurring. Untreated the effect of abnormal forces due to dural strain might lead to torticollis (shortening and spasm from the sterno-cleido-mastiod muscle) or scoliosis (lateral deviation of the spine), both essential considerations for growth and development.
