Osteopathy in Children & Babies
Osteopathic care is gentle and safe for the growing child.
It uses natural techniques without the involvement of drugs and/or surgery. Its treatments can aid a child’s development, enabling them to easily adjust to the rapid changes occurring with the body during growth.
Osteopaths regularly treat children suffering with the following symptoms:
postural symptoms
back and neck pain
headaches
growing pains
foot and leg pain
walking difficulties
sports injuries
asthma
ear problems
We will also advise parents on nutrition, good postural positioning and exercises that will aid the effects of the treatment.
Research suggests that gentle manual therapy, including osteopathic treatment, may help reduce crying and improve symptoms in some babies with colic.
