The inability to turn his head also made it difficult for the mother to breast feed. Manually turning the baby's head was possible but very difficult due tight neck muscles on the left. Massage and stretching was attempted with no success. The Parspinal nervous system scan revealed significant temperature discrepancies indicating abnormal nervous system function. Neck muscles of the left side of the neck were very tight. After a left atlas adjustment was made no significant changes were noticelable.
