Understanding Spinal Galant Reflex
During normal childhood development, the Spinal Galant presents itself at approximately 20 weeks in utero and is integrated between 3 and 9 months of age.
The Spinal Galant Reflex:
- May assist in the birthing process, helping to move the baby down the birth canal
- It May be used for balance during the creeping and crawling phases of development
- Acts as a conductor of sound in utero (there is an association between the Spinal Galant and hearing and auditory processing)
- Symptoms of a Retained Spinal Galant:
- ADHD symptoms
- Poor concentration
- Poor short-term memory
- Fidgeting, squirming, constantly changing positions
- Dislike of clothing that is tight around the waist or bothered by tags on clothing
- Poor bladder control and persistent bedwetting
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Hip rotation to one side, which can appear as a limp, or may contribute to scoliosis
