Good morning!

Welcome to the Chiro Sainte-Rose center, today we are going to make the continuation of the video with Cynthia who agreed to be filmed when she was pregnant. She now has her little Mathias who is here with us today. We're going to share with you his first spinal screening. He is now two weeks old.

So I'm going to start the manipulations for the examination of the little child. He's lying on his mother's stomach. I gently press on points on his back to check that each of his muscles is working properly. vertebrae separates well. Often, in the uterus, the areas that are most likely to be weakened are the pelvis, if the baby comes out in a breech position or if the cord is around the neck during or at the time of delivery.

Next, the cervical examination. We use the same pressure we usually use near an eye! I rotate his head slightly to check his neck. I notice there's a little restriction on one side, so I massage the neck muscles. This will help the muscles, which are attached after the vertebrae, to lengthen so they can regain their mobility. This step never lasts very long, and allows mobility to be regained quickly.

Now we're going to look between the two shoulder blades to see if everything is working well. So I put some pressure on his upper back to check the mobility of the vertebrae.

So there you have it, a review of the spinal column of a newborn baby.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!
