I'm curious as to how the chiro found this, and whether there's a transcription error somewhere along the line. 18 mm is nearly 2 cm (or 0.7 of an inch, for the non-metrically-inclined). That sort of displacement in a tiny neonate's upper spinal area sounds like an immediately-fatal cervical dislocation to me.
