Symptoms
Brachycephaly
What is it?
Brachycephaly is a flattening of the back of a baby's head, common in the first months of life due to sustained pressure from lying on the back. In most cases it resolves naturally with positional changes.
Common signs
- Flattened area at the back of the head
- Head appearing wider than usual
- A preference for turning the head to one side
How chiropractic care helps
A gentle chiropractic approach, alongside guidance on positional changes and supervised tummy time, can help support a more balanced head shape during the first months.
Check in with your pediatrician to monitor progress and rule out other causes.
