Treatment of Birth Trauma Consequences in Children
OUR MEDICAL STRATEGY
Professor Blum’s method makes it possible to begin recovery from the earliest age thanks to the unique capabilities of his proprietary system of methods and techniques.
- Imperative techniques make it possible to restore the child’s body without requiring their conscious participation in the process. We do not waste time — we immediately begin stimulating underdeveloped body segments and activating the body’s built-in natural mechanisms of self-recovery, integration, and differentiation.
- Afferentation imprinting is a way to restore and organize processes that were inactive or functioned poorly, transitioning from general motor chaos to conscious movements and patterns that trigger mental and psycho-emotional development.
- Restoring muscle–joint balance creates the conditions for intensive growth and development, compensating for deficits in movement and verticalization.
- Strict ontogenetic sequence of movement recovery — preparing the child’s musculoskeletal system for walking, since premature verticalization leads to deformations and asymmetries of the spine and joints, as well as subsequent problems and diseases.
FOR WHICH CONSEQUENCES OF BIRTH INJURIES IS REHABILITATION POSSIBLE?
- Cerebral palsy – motor, intellectual, and psychological impairments
- Autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Hydrocephalus, increased intracranial pressure
- Delayed psychomotor and speech development, encephalopathy
- Injuries of the lumbosacral plexus, brachial plexus, cervical spine, and hip dislocation
The most severe consequence of a birth injury is the weakening of the child’s body to such an extent that they become unable to adapt. This disrupts the sequence of physiological developmental processes, the morphological maturation of tissues, the integration of metabolic and information–integration systems and reduces both resistance and overall viability.
The six-macroblock diagnostic method developed by Professor Blum makes it possible to identify all consequences and developmental trends from the very first days of a child’s life, determine the precise sequence of ontogenesis phases, and create an individual plan in which each preceding phase serves as the foundation for the next—taking into account medical history, the biological calendar, and any accumulated developmental deficits.
Our goal is to prevent the development of pathology. The earlier the restoration of the proper sequence of ontogenesis phases begins, the greater the chances of fully compensating for all deficits and removing the child from the risk group by the end of the first year of life.
GENERAL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Most newborns experience some form of injury during childbirth. In most cases, these are soft tissue injuries that heal on their own without consequences. However, if labor is complicated, the baby may be harmed. This can happen if the mother has a narrow pelvis, the baby is large, the fetal position is abnormal, in cases of premature or prolonged labor, cesarean section, induction, excessive pressure due to uneven uterine contractions, as well as the use of obstetric interventions.
The danger of birth injuries lies in the fact that symptoms are often hidden and may only become apparent once a diagnosis such as developmental delay, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, paresis, or paralysis has been made. Early identification of the cause, type, location of the injury, and its consequences can help parents avoid wrong treatment choices and allow them to take all necessary measures in time to restore the child’s physical and psycho-emotional development.
At Professor Blum’s Center, we conduct a comprehensive examination to identify all consequences—both visible and hidden—determine the exact pathogenetic mechanisms of the problem, and develop an individualized restorative program for the comprehensive rehabilitation of children after birth injuries, starting from the very first days of life.
-
Identify all consequences of the birth injury and any undesirable trends at the earliest stages.
-
Develop an individual plan taking into account the child’s medical history and age
-
Compensate for developmental deficits and establish a clear course of action.
Objectives of the program
-
Identify and correct obvious and hidden misalignmentDetect and eliminate obvious and hidden displacements, deformations, asymmetries, and distortions caused by birth trauma. Create all the necessary conditions for the maturation of organs and tissues, compensate for developmental deficits, and catch up to the chronological age.
-
Eliminar compensacionesEliminate compensations and properly organize motor activity — the increase in height and body mass should be supported by an adequate amount of physical exercise, so that body tissues can grow, differentiate, mature, and perform their functions.
-
Restore mobility of musculoskeletal structuresManagement of positive trends, assistance to the body in self-recovery, restoration of mobility in musculoskeletal structures, circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, and the restoration of the normal position and functions of the internal organs.
PROPRIETARY METHOD
Professor Blum’s system of methods, techniques, and specialized rehabilitation equipment makes it possible to restore the anatomical integrity of the body, correct displacements of bones, vertebrae, muscles, tendons, nerve plexuses, arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. It also creates the necessary conditions for the maturation of the respiratory, nervous, and cardiovascular systems.
The impact is delivered with meticulous precision within a specified range of intensity, the necessary angle of acceleration, and dozens of other controlled parameters, producing the intended response even from the weakest structures. This ensures the ability to address a wide range of rehabilitation tasks for patients with the consequences of birth injuries.
Successful restoration of the functional capacity and structural integrity of the musculoskeletal system—and the body as a whole—is achieved through the method’s ability to target weak links with exceptional precision, restoring the tissue structure and functions of connective tissue and the muscle, epithelial, and nerve cells embedded within it. Continuous monitoring of movement range and specific muscle response guarantees safety, ensures consistency and predictability of results, and eliminates overload.

Q&A
Rehabilitation can start as soon as the newborn’s condition has stabilised and they have been discharged from the hospital. The earlier rehabilitation begins for a child with a birth injury, the better the results. Schedule an online consultation with a doctor from our Centre, and send all discharge notes, medical conclusions, and test results to determine the goals, exact recovery plan, and cost of the course.
Future parents should undergo a full medical check-up 12 months before planning a pregnancy. Complete recovery is necessary, and any chronic conditions should be addressed, especially for the mother, if she has an unfavourable gynaecological history or experienced complicated deliveries in the past.
Yes, prevention requires preparation for childbirth, including: learning about the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth, ensuring the mother’s full health recovery before pregnancy, opting for natural childbirth, preferably vertical delivery, assessing all risk factors right before birth, carefully selecting the doctor and midwife, and minimising any medical interventions when possible.
- Restlessness, disturbed sleep, frequent regurgitation;
- Seizures, muscle tension even at rest;
- Excessively sharp, chaotic, or slowed movements of the baby;
- Unnatural body posture – either too relaxed or, conversely, tense;
- Skull asymmetry, torticollis, facial asymmetry;
- At 3 months, does not hold their head up, does not roll over;
- At 4 months, does not turn their head to sounds, does not reach for toys;
- At 7 months, cannot sit without support, does not crawl;
- At 12 months, does not walk independently;
- Performs all actions with only one hand.
The comprehensive diagnostic approach based on Professor Blum's proprietary method always identifies the root cause of the condition. We separate the cause from the symptoms and focus on eliminating the cause, rather than simply medicating the symptoms. Schedule a consultation with a doctor from our Centre for a detailed assessment and to determine a course of action.
Currently, there are over 300 causes identified for the development of cerebral palsy. Professor Blum always considers the true causes and underlying factors that may either provoke or reduce the risk of the disease. Harmful trends and habits in modern society create conditions where predispositions can develop into disease. In the case of cerebral palsy, some contributing factors include the abandonment of swaddling, lack of breastfeeding, the use of diapers, overprotection (manifested by constantly carrying the child in arms), and the use of distracting devices such as music, lights, and videos. Premature verticalization—when parents push their child to sit or stand before they are ready—can also interfere with the child’s natural, systematic development. We offer online consultations for parents to help prevent risks and guide them through the critical stages of their child's development in the most effective way possible.
At the end of the rehabilitation course, we always provide "homework" – constructive recommendations for care and exercises that help make up for developmental delays at home, carried out by the parents. These exercises support the progress made during rehabilitation and prepare the child for the next course. It is important to understand that the recovery process for a child with cerebral palsy is complex and lengthy.
The duration of the rehabilitation course depends on the severity of cerebral palsy, the patient's age, the presence of complications, and the degree of motor impairment. The greater the developmental delay, the more intensive and prolonged the rehabilitation process. To determine the exact duration and cost, schedule a free online consultation with a doctor from the Centre.
