The Osteopathy For All clinic is happy to currently be able to offer FREE health check ups for babies and toddlers (as well as their parents!) in order to resolve their issues while their bodies are still easily changeable and malleable, and before they progress into more ingrained problems, contributing in giving them the optimal start to life! So if your youngest offspring is suffering from certain signs and symptoms, please book a free assessment appointment.
Babies and toddlers may suffer from a variety of common ailments and conditions. Where conventional medical approaches focus on managing symptoms typically with drug treatments, instead osteopathy aims to investigate the whole body and diagnose the root cause via assessing the body’s inherent communication system, the neurology.
An abnormal head shape, for example, is typically caused by an imbalance in the way the cranial bones function, which could be due to the head compressive forces involved at birth. This can also cause sleeping problems commonly associated with a hormonal imbalance involving the circadian cycle including the adrenal glands above the kidneys and the pineal gland within the cranium. Other examples such as learning delays, recurrent ear infections, latching and feeding issues, colic, turning the head to one side etc… also have connections with the cranium and elsewhere via mechanical and neurological relationships.
To fully resolve symptoms, the principle of cause and effect must be applied and it is paramount to examine the whole body in order to determine the causal links – what body tension is a causal issue and what body tension is a compensation?
Once the causal problem is diagnosed, treatment is usually easy, gentle, quick and effective. Typically, only one treatment is needed to resolve symptoms, sometimes a second treatment is required, but rarely more.
