Nuchal Cord and Nervous System Interference

10-29% of babies are born with their umbilical cord wrapped around their neck (nuchal cord). In most cases, this doesn't alter the ability to have a vaginal birth without any complications.

Nurchal Cord and Nervous System Interference in Orlando

The cord, however, can add extra stress to the upper cervical (upper neck) region of the spine, leading to irritation to the nervous system.

This is why we want to check every newborn at IWC.

Irritation to a baby's nervous system after childbirth, especially if a cord wrap is involved, can cause discomfort and health issues as a child, but also can affect health longterm as well.

Common signs of nervous system interference in newborns:

• Colic
• Irritability
• Constipation
• Poor sleeping patterns
• Difficulty latching and nursing
• Torticollis

As chiropractors, we are trained to use gentle and safe techniques to help remove nervous system interference.

At Integrate Wellness Center, we focus our care around the nervous system in a safe and effective way. We safely can identify areas of nervous system interference by using the CLA INSiGHT Scanner, which uses advanced thermography and electromyography technology. This technology provides invaluable information on how spinal stress can trigger deeper health issues. Having this information allows us to provide the best possible care for the whole family!

We're excited to support your entire family on their wellness journey! DM us if you have any questions or to schedule a consultation!!!
