Hip Dysplasia

Hip Dysplagia in 7 day old infant.  Case Studies.  Webster, L. Chiropractic Showcase Magazine, Vol. 2, Issue 5, Summer 1994. 

This is the case study of a 7 day-old infant with hip dysplagia affecting left leg.  The patient wore a brace, which restricted movement of both legs. Infant would not extend left leg and did not have full range of motion.  Examination revealed a sacral subluxation.  After adjustment, child could extend left leg and had full range of motion.  Patient returned one week later, no hip dysplagia evident.  According to the parents, their orthopedist was amazed and could not understand what had happened.  Parents did not tell him that they had taken the baby to a chiropractor.
