Each achievement baby - a great joy for the parents. Here he sat, crawled, took a step, said first word... But what about mom and dad, if the child crawls like something is wrong, does not walk, does not speak for a long time? Investigated
Positive emotions are so strong that Mom and Dad do not notice the warning signs, which demonstrates a pipsqueak, mastering a new kind of physical activity.
If the foot does not listen
Normally, the child begins to crawl on all fours to six months. This is an important step before he starts to walk, as the creeping promotes a kind of "training" of all the muscles and prepare the body grudnichka to the first step.
- However, it sometimes happens that the six-month baby can not crawl on all fours. He either just lying on his tummy, "crawl", with arms and legs wide apart from him, or is based on both hands and only one knee.
- The second leg at the same time puts on the foot and seemingly puts or dragging. In people, this crawl is also called "like a wounded guerrillas." Simply put, the child moves sideways.

Baby crawling sideways
In fact, this symptom indicates that the baby is deployed sacrum, which is why it is inconvenient to rely on both knees. Consequences are arranged one after the other.
If a child is crawling sideways, asymmetrically loaded muscles of the legs, pelvis and spine.
Uneven load and get the joints of the pelvis and legs. Because of this asymmetric load muscles develop differently, and this only adds to the asymmetry, scoliosis, securing a reversal of the pelvis and sacrum.
Incorrect crawling - it's not fun feature of crumbs, and a bright sign - a sign that your son or daughter present a birth trauma and scoliosis. In such a small age can not see it: the baby is too small, it is not even worth it on the legs. However, the process is running.
If you do not attach any importance to this, did not eliminate the problem at the earliest stages, it is very likely that in the future you will notice scoliotic arc.

signs of scoliosis
Usually, parents start to worry, noting signs of scoliosis, much later - at the age of 6-7 years. And every scoliosis progresses along with the growth of the child's skeleton subsequent year.
Rapid growth falls on Adolescence, respectively, and are actively progressing scoliosis, causing the development of many related diseases. Since the spine is associated with the whole organism, its change (in this case, scoliosis) may affect a number of important processes that the adult will deliver a lot of inconvenience.
For example, the consequences could be:
- different leg length;
- fatigue while walking;
- the asymmetric stop in a child;
- valgus deformity stop.
Such violations significantly affect the quality of life, causing in turn other negative consequences. As a result, the physical condition of the person becomes very far from the norm.
Completely healthy to call the owner of such features is difficult, though it is "only" flat... During the execution of a work a person may feel discomfort, quickly tired. So the expression "from childhood" is directly related to the topic.

Urgently to the doctor!
Some moms and dads worry: at an early age the baby early lead to the doctor carried out the manipulation could give a negative result. Many decide to wait until the baby grows up, grow up.
This is fundamentally the wrong decision. The earlier crumbs see a doctor, the sooner he will be able to help your child - and the more likely to get rid of the problem, until the body is in the process of growth and formation.
In virtually all cases, the young patient, crawling sideways, detected signs of birth injury. Fortunately, the timely measures taken give a good result: after the restoration of the correct position of the occipital bone, the sacrum its mobility is also taking a correct position. After that, the kid is not difficult to rely on both knees and crawl on all fours.

neck injury
Reason asymmetrical pins and can be covered in neck injury.
- During the passage through the narrow birth canal occipital bone is slightly shifted, compressed and fixed.
- The sacrum is associated with the occipital bone at the expense of the dura mater (extending through the spinal canal), consequently, it is displaced and firmly locked.
- Deviation, failure on distributed along the chain: the pelvic bones, followed by - the hip, then - the leg and foot.
- As a result, the entire basin of the baby is, in fact, to some extent distorted, which does not allow crumbs to crawl symmetrically.
