In 1991, Biedermann coined the term "kinetic imbalance due to suboccipital strain" ("KiSS-syndrome"). He assumed a functional abnormality of the suboccipital-high cervical spine, resulting in positional preference of the infant;s head. A broad spectrum of symptoms and complaints have been attributed to "KiSS-Syndrome".
Signs and Symptoms
Infants with KISS Syndrome will often display a head tilt (torticollis) to one side or difficulty bending the head to one side. In some cases the cervical dysfunction isn't apparent and it may take a skilled evaluation to detect the problem.
By getting your child tested and treated early by a chiropractor dysfunctions and pain in the neck could rapidly improve and your child will often resume normal movement. Our chiropractors have extensive experience treating children with these conditions.
In the first session, the KISS syndrome, in other words the blockage of the cranio-cervical junction, is in itself definitely cured. A new trauma only can generate a relapse of this lesion.
It is possible and it is what we call KiSS syndrome. In fact, KiSS is a blockage of the cranio-cervical junction, i. e. the first joint between the base of the skull and the first cervical vertebra. This joint dysfunction results in a postural adaptation of the whole body.
Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is often called the kissing disease. The virus that causes mono (Epstein-Barr virus) is spread through saliva. You can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed by sharing a glass or food utensils with someone who has mono.
Although kissing is considered to be low-risk when compared to intercourse and oral sex, it's possible for kissing to transmit CMV, herpes, and syphilis. CMV can be present in saliva, and herpes and syphilis can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, particularly at times when sores are present.
According to some studies, as much as 70lbs of pressure is being put on the baby's head and neck during birth. This push & pull is bound to injure the nerves and joints of the infant body and while most of the babies heal on their own, some require a little chiropractic help for healing and speedy recovery.

You've sent plenty of smooches your baby's way. Now they may blow one back. Being able to bring their hand to their mouth is a major development.
Torticollis is a condition where your baby's neck muscles cause their head to twist and tilt to one side. It may look like your infant's neck is rotated at an odd angle. The top of their head may be tilted to one side and their chin may be tilted to the other side. Torticollis is also called wryneck.
Apply an ice pack on the area to minimise the pain and the swelling. You can even keep a spoon in the freezer for about 20 minutes and apply it on the hickey for the same effect. After treating your hickey with ice for 2-3 days, switch to applying heat on the area, in order to increase the blood flow.
Infectious mononucleosis, also known as "mono" or the "kissing disease," is an infection that may cause fever, sore throat, fatigue, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. It most commonly occurs in adolescents and young adults. In general, mononucleosis is not considered a serious illness.

Develop motor skills with hand movement.
For example, pick and hold objects, pass objects from one hand to another, wave and point with hands. Clap hands is part of the natural progression of a baby's gross and fine motor skills.
Ideally, even grandparents “should not be kissing on the baby for at least the first few months,” Tan told me. Within a home, siblings attending day care and school—where it's easy to pick up germs—might also want to sheathe their smackeroos at first.
Even if the baby is born via c-section, pediatric chiropractic care can help remove the effects of birth trauma. In our office, Dr. Christina has extensive experience in working with infants and helping their nervous systems heal.
How often should my child get adjusted? Adjust a healthy baby once a month or during any milestone such as holding up their head, sitting, crawling or walking.

"Unless you have a bad cough, and some of the respiratory mucus has made its way into your saliva, the cold virus will not be transmitted by kissing." Most of us think colds are highly contagious. Certainly, most adults get two to five colds a year (schoolchildren can catch double this number).
Yes, kissing can be a cause of sexually transmitted diseases like Herpes, Cytomegalovirus or Syphilis, as well as expose you to bacteria through saliva exchange. Your mouth is a route to your gastrointestinal and respiratory systems.
