The Lasting Effects of C-Section Complications on Your Child's Health

November 23, 2023

Meet Jordan and Teo, two fraternal twins who have shown us the profound impact that a C-section delivery can have on a child’s health. While Jordan was born vaginally, Teo’s birth required an emergent C-section, setting the stage for a journey that highlighted the long-lasting effects of C-section complications on children’s health.

Jordan had a much easier time with eating, calming down, sleeping, and overall health as a baby. In contrast, Teo faced challenges with digestion, sleeping, soothing, and optimal development. He was smaller, more stressed, struggled to gain weight, and had various health issues, including inflammatory reactions and ear infections.

At six months old, Teo began suffering from infantile spasms, which were clearly very distressing for his parents. Despite hospitalization and various treatments, he did not respond until receiving precise Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic adjustments from a pediatric chiropractor in Sarasota, FL. These adjustments helped release tension and calm his central nervous system.

If you are a parent whose baby was born via C-section and are struggling with various health issues, this blog is for you. Many health struggles in our kiddos today are tied to dysfunction in their central nervous system that started from the very beginning due to a C-section or other types of birth trauma.

The Unseen Impact of C-Section Deliveries

Teo and Jordan had identical genetics, diets, and environments, making their story a unique case study. The only significant difference was Teo’s C-section birth, and that difference had a lasting impact.

Subluxation and Dysautonomia: One of the most overlooked challenges with C-section deliveries is the onset of subluxation in infants’ cranial and upper cervical regions. The immense force placed on a child’s skull, neck, and brainstem during a C-section can lead to subluxations, which disrupt the normal function of the nervous system.

Digestive Distress: C-section babies may experience digestive issues like colic, constipation, and eczema due to a lack of optimal activation of the thoracic spine and neuromuscular system that controls motility, absorption, and assimilation in infants and children.

Respiratory and Immune Compromise: Disruptions in the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) lymphatic system, lungs, microbiome, and Vagus Nerve can lead to respiratory issues and immune compromise, such as seasonal allergies and asthma. The Vagus Nerve, a key player in the autonomic nervous system, influences various bodily functions, including respiratory and immune systems.

The Power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic

As mentioned, Teo’s journey to healing involved Neurologically-Focused pediatric chiropractic care. This approach not only addresses subluxations but also helps optimize the nervous system, which controls vital systems in your child’s body. Chiropractors with expertise in pediatrics can identify and correct these issues to restore the balance and function of your child’s central nervous system.

As parents, it’s crucial to trust your instincts and explore all avenues when addressing your child’s health struggles. Start by focusing on the nervous system, which plays a central role in your child’s well-being. When you’ve tried everything else, Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care can be the missing link.

After Dr. JJ worked on him just one time, he has been able to enjoy laying on his back more.
Dr JJ and the team did an incredible job with my baby boy. After he worked on him just one time, he has been able to enjoy laying on his back more, whereas before he would just HATE being on his back. My baby boy has reached a new level of ease! With less pressure to the nervous system. Even answering so many questions as a first time dad and giving advice for healthy development! Can’t wait to see how more he develops under care. Thank you to the Pinnacle team you are amazing!
Please if you are concern about your child’s overall well-being please go to Pinnacle Chiropractor, you won’t regret it, they have changed our lives.
We are so thankful with Dr. Matt, Dr. Jordan and all the staff. My son is a completely different kid. We contacted Dr. Matt because my son was getting sick all the time (he had the flu twice, strep, pneumonia, and tonsilitis this year) had a really hard time sleeping and was a picky eater. His pediatrician said that he would grow out of it, just to give him time, but I felt this was not enough. I wanted my son to thrive, to be a happy, healthy kid. So I talked to my pediatrician about Dr. Matt and she said to go a head and try it, that she goes to a chiropractor as well and that it has helped her a lot. So we made the decision to go, we paid for the whole treatment (people may say is “expensive”, but it is totally worth it, I would do it all over again) and the results are just amazing. My son is happier than ever, he is sleeping better, his appetite has increased, and the most important part he is healthy. He has gotten a cold here and there but he is fighting it off so much quicker and no high fevers like he used to get.
