The birth process places significant mechanical stress on an infant's spine and cranium. Even uncomplicated vaginal deliveries involve forces that can shift vertebral alignment in the upper cervical or lumbosacral regions. When the misalignment affects nerve pathways that regulate intestinal function, the child may develop constipation that persists despite normal feeding and hydration. The connection is invisible without a chiropractic evaluation because the child shows no outward structural abnormality.
Dr. Bronstein at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic is the only provider on California's Central Coast holding a diplomate in pediatrics from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics. His experience with birth trauma cases means he knows where to look and what to assess when a child's constipation does not respond to standard interventions. A constipation chiropractor near San Luis Obispo who understands this connection can identify what other providers have missed.
