Many chiropractors have advanced their skills into paediatric work involving cranial expertise. The corrections made in cranial osteopathy are extremely light to touch.

Sleep positioners are an excellent device for children with cranial faults or imbalances. For example if an infant has flattening on one side of the cranium they will continue to sleep on that side as that is where gravity will pull them. Parents can use sleep positioners to prevent the imbalance from becoming permanent by positioning the child on a different side each sleep time.

By the age of 3 children have almost an adult skull in terms of sutures, so very difficult to correct at that stage. A lot of research is now showing the imbalances in the cranium if severe enough can cause delays in speech, language as well as concentration and coordination problems.
