The above are symptoms often successfully treated by specific cranial care. They can be present in infants and children or in adults. Women need not suffer from back pain, sciatica or reflux during pregnancy, gentle treatment during pregnancy not only takes pressure off the growing baby, but makes pregnancy and birthing a far more enjoyable experience. Looking after your body’s balance makes everything run more smoothly.
I regard Chiropractic care during pregnancy as one of the most vital parts of paediatric chiropractic practice because it is during the time prior to birth that many of the potential traumas that can afflict the neonate may well be prevented or at least ameliorated. Birth can be the first incident in a long chain of events that gradually reduce an individual’s adaptive range, and chiropractic care of the pregnant woman is able, in my experience, to prevent many injuries.
If your pelvis is not fit for birth your labour will not be easy which can result in emergency C section, incorrect presentation or ventouse delivery.
What causes misalignments in infants/children?
Unaddressed trips, falls and accidents previous to the pregnancy lead to pelvic sprains in the mother during the pregnancy; this is why we advise a pre-pregnancy check-up for every woman. These can be an underlying cause in fertility problems.
The uterus may be distorted so the baby is under pressure in its development in the womb, causing cranial compression. This is called intra-uterine contracture.
Birth injuries (forceps delivery, abnormal presentation of baby’s face during delivery, ventouse delivery (suction)and breech presentation.
Incorrect orthodontic procedures in children such as removal of eye teeth in upper and lower jaw.
Loss of teeth – often misdiagnosed as “over crowding”, which leads to cranial bone imbalance in children or adults.
Trips and falls of kids/toddlers causing neck or pelvic distortion and instability – often misdiagnosed as “growing pains”. These can cause walking problems (pelvic dysfunction) and speech and language problems (neck dysfunction)
The above are just a few causes for spinal and cranial dysfunction in children and infants. As we know a day in the life of an active toddler is often filled with more than enough incidences to misalign bone structure, and as the tree bends the tree grows.
Early intervention is the key. It is more effective and can prevent life debilitating social, physical and learning disabilities. These problems can be treated in adults also (and are often life changing when they are), but the years of misalignment and strain on the body complicate the problems, turning what could have been a simple correction of an infant, into a more complex and lengthy treatment plan as an adult.
It is my mission to prevent such occurrences through early diagnosis and accurate neurological corrections with natural Chiropractic care.

It is optimal for Dr. Moloney to examine a baby pre 6 weeks to observe many primitive neurological reflexes. Dr. Moloney treats babies from 1 week old.
