Background: A six-moth old infant was presented for Chiropractic care with parents raising concerns over her inability to roll from side to side. Chiropractic examination revealed low tone contributing to reported difficulty with tummy time.
Intervention: The infant was cared for using the ABC™ technique, amended for the patient’s age and tensile strength. Meningeal releases were also delivered as part of her care.
Outcomes: Reducing pelvic restrictions and performing meningeal releases was effective in achieving a quick improvement in the infant’s mobility and, in turn, tone.
Conclusion: Minimal intervention did, in this case, elicit significant changes. This case is an example of the impact of Chiropractic care early childhood, where even minimal intervention can significantly impact outcomes.
