Effective treatment of crooked skull

The skull

The skull consists of plates that, during pregnancy, begin to grow together and have sutures in between. The fontanella in the neck grows together when baby is approx. 2 months old, while the fontanella at the top is head grows together when baby is between 7-18 months. This flexibility in the skull, helps get head through the birth canal during childbirth. As the baby grow, the crooked skull will become more apparent.

Causes of crooked skull

A crooked skull can also be seen as a crooked head, an uneven head or an asymmetrical head or face depending on where you look from. The reason why it occurs is that tension can arise in the sutures between the skull plates, which can contribute to creating a crooked skull. If the baby was sitting crooked during pregnancy, stuck in the pelvis during birth or was taken with a suction cup, this may have created an imbalance in the sutures. If the baby has been sitting with its head against your tailbone during birth, it may have pressed on one side of the skull, resulting in a flat forehead, ears that are offset or a flat back of the head on one side. Many doctors believe that this corrects itself. We do not believe that it does. In our opinion, the imbalances will always be there until they are treated. We have treated many adults with the same imbalances that we find in babies. 

the natural movements of the skull

In babies and adults, the plates will move minimally when we e.g. breathing. If there is tension in between the plates, the movement will be reduced and the body will have to compensate. Afhængig hvor i kraniet spændingerne sidder kan det give problemer med fordøjelsen, hovedpine, svage mavemuskler m.m.
