The back-to-sleep campaign to prevent SIDS has contributed to the increase in plagiocephaly cases. The pressure on one spot of the head from sleeping on the back and using certain equipment can lead to a flat head shape. Early intervention through physical therapy and chiropractic care is crucial to prevent and correct plagiocephaly. Delayed motor skills, vision alignment issues, and increased risk of ear infections are some of the potential consequences of untreated plagiocephaly. Early prevention and treatment can have a significant impact on a child's development and overall well-being.Who is Dr. Cheyenne?Hi there! I'm Dr. Cheyenne, physical therapist for babies.

Welcome to our first episode of many!We are excited to bring to you the beginning of this journey to where we will be providing information and inspiration on so many levels when it comes to Pediatric, Family, Prenatal, and Infertility Health!Yes, there will be other topics we will also share outside of this such as mindfulness, functional medicine, and much more.But before sharing all that wonderful information, we wanted to start this first podcast by sharing our WHY. Why we (my wife Veronica and I) are doing this? The purpose behind it so you know, right from the beginning of where our heart and intention is at.My wife will be joining me on some episodes from time to time to share things that she has extensively researched and what makes sense to me from a neurodevelopment standpoint when it comes to kiddos and much more.We will be interviewing experts to bring different levels of information to you. Our goal is to start with all the collaborations we are making with experts in the Knoxville, TN area and eventually, going to open it up to people that we know on a national and international level to share concepts that will inspire and empower you and your family to live their best lives possible.One thing I have learned over the years from being a business coach and helping my clients create a legacy is the biggest and most important legacy anyone will ever make is to raise the best humans possible. That's legacy. What we do with our kids, the values, the support systems we create, understanding their world and so much more is a TRUE legacy.It is something I learned in the past 2 years that has truly shifted my values in what I do. It doesn't matter if I become a billionaire, have 100 million people following me, etc., that is nothing compared to instilling all that I can into my children so they can adapt, be resilient, and navigate this world in a way that is 100x more aware to do that.This is one of the many reasons why we are so passionate about helping families, prenatal, and pediatrics.More on this in the episodes to come.So, enjoy this episode and hear our story.Don't forget to subscribe so you NEVER miss another episode.Join our email list to get up-to-date podcast releases PLUS additional content and info.
