KISS syndrome

The KISS syndrome stands for a craniocervical junction-induced symmetry disorder in children.

Screaming babies, seemingly clumsy kindergarten children, frustrated students with severe learning disabilities and concentration problems – when children are unwell, the whole family quickly suffers. Often, the complex symptoms are due to the diagnosis KISS, or Kopfgelenkinduzierte Symmetrie-Störung (craniocervical junction induced symmetry disorder).

Here, a timely examination of the spine and especially the function of the upper cervical spine can be the first step towards a decisive developmental boost.

The therapy concept presented here offers new approaches in KISS treatment. KIDD, or Kopfgelenkinduzierte Dyspraxia und Dysgnosie (head joint-induced dyspraxia and dysgnosia), refers to older (school-aged) children with manifest symptoms.

With correct diagnosis, surprisingly lasting improvements in motor and psychosocial development are repeatedly observed after just a few treatment sessions.
