+      <p>
+        Newborn babies are frequent sufferers of gastrointestinal complaints.
+        That shouldn’t come as a surprise when one considers that the digestive
+        system had no job to do in those first nine months in utero but is asked
+        to be responsible for the entire sustenance of the body after birth.
+        Digestive system troubles can range from spitting up to projectile
+        vomiting and reflux, from mild difficulty burping to the hours of daily
+        crying of a colicky baby. Although these problems do lessen as the
+        digestive system matures, waiting for relief can be very hard on infants
+        and parents.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic manipulative treatment, which improves body function through
+        correcting body structure, can have a significant role in assisting in
+        the resolution of the digestive system distress of infancy. The troubles
+        often have their origin when a difficult birth experience irritates the
+        vagus nerve which controls much of the digestive system. When the bony
+        misalignment and tissue tensions affecting the nerve are removed, the
+        baby can handle its feedings and resultant gas better. Osteopathic
+        treatment can also address connective tissue tension present around the
+        abdominal organs, especially in the umbilical area and near where the
+        esophagus meets the stomach. In infants who suffer from spitting up,
+        vomiting or reflux, the normal clockwise motion of the abdominal fascia
+        may be impaired and need corrective treatment.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Occasionally the digestive distress of breast-fed babies can be traced
+        to foods in the mother’s diet. When these offending foods are removed
+        from her diet, the improvements in the baby can be dramatic. In the same
+        way, babies who are bottle-fed may find relief in switching to a
+        different formula.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Healthy Choices</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Opinions vary on the topic of introduction of solid foods into a baby’s
+        diet. Most babies are not ready before six months and demonstrate their
+        readiness by the presence of teeth and a keen interest in their parent’s
+        eating. Many physicians agree that wheat, dairy, eggs, citrus and honey
+        should be avoided until after 12 months of age and introduced cautiously
+        thereafter. Introducing only one new food at a time allows one to watch
+        for allergic responses, often seen in the form of digestive upset or
+        skin rashes, especially around the mouth and anus.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        It can take up to five days of eating a new food before a negative
+        reaction is seen. A food which results in an allergic type response
+        should be removed from the diet and not tried again for at least several
+        months. Because continued exposure to an allergic food fosters a more
+        severe level of allergy, exercising this level of care when solid foods
+        are introduced reaps benefits in a wider choice of foods later in life.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        “You are what you eat” is a caution that is perhaps more relevant now
+        than ever before. Depletion of topsoil has resulted in vegetables,
+        fruits and grains lacking essential nutrients. The economic demands on
+        farmers have resulted in the widespread use of pesticides, artificial
+        ripening agents and fertilizers containing waste products which should
+        not be recycled into our soils.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Dairy products and meat are contaminated by animal feed containing
+        antibiotics, hormones and animal by-products. Organically grown and
+        naturally processed food is free of potentially health damaging
+        additives. Making healthy dietary choices during infancy and childhood,
+        when all parts of the body are developing, is a crucial step in
+        fostering healthy growth of every vital organ, bone, muscle and brain
+        cell of the body.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        A wide spectrum of health care practitioners agree that infancy is not a
+        time to receive a diet high in sugar, salt and fat content found in most
+        processed foods. Offering ourselves and our children healthy diets is a
+        big challenge but one worth taking.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Childhood Complaints</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Vague, non-specific digestive complaints are commonly seen in childhood.
+        Tummy aches and nausea are the cause of days home from school for many
+        children and rarely does a standard medical work-up determine the cause.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic evaluation often reveals that the fascia (connective tissue
+        layer) which covers the abdominal organs is pulled in a counterclockwise
+        direction. For healthy digestion this motion should move clockwise,
+        compatible with the peristaltic motion of the intestines as it moves
+        food from mouth to rectum. When the facial motion has reversed,
+        complaints such as constipation, nausea and stomach aches are common.
+        Osteopathic treatment assists the body in correcting the motion of this
+        fascia and restoring normal function.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Both the vagus nerve and nerves originating in the lower portions of the
+        spine are essential to a healthy digestive system. Children who have
+        suffered injury, especially to the lower back or sacrum (at the base of
+        the spine), may be experiencing digestive problems as a result of this
+        trauma. Injury to the pelvis, either traumatic or surgical, can result
+        in poor function of the sling of muscles at the lowest part of the
+        pelvis, called the pelvic diaphragm. This sling of muscles operates like
+        the thoracic diaphragm and, when functioning normally, moves up and down
+        with respiration. This diaphragm-like motion is essential to the health
+        of the digestive system, and it is vital to restore it in children
+        suffering from constipation, recovering from pelvic injury or after
+        surgery in this area. A hard fall to the lower back, sacrum or groin can
+        be enough to impact gastrointestinal health.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Urinary Problems</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Restoration of motion in the pelvic diaphragm is also an essential part
+        of the osteopathic management of problems such as bladder infections and
+        menstrual cramps. The problem of nighttime bed wetting is a complex one
+        which may or may not respond to osteopathic manipulative treatment. In
+        some children, treatment can help to normalize the neural control
+        relevant to bladder emptying and may be very helpful in this clinical
+        problem.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Some children are genetically predisposed to the problem and don’t “grow
+        out of it” until the age at which the problem resolved for their
+        affected parent.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The less common problem of bladder reflux may respond to osteopathic
+        treatment of the facial strains which are present where the urethra
+        meets the bladder.

+    >
+      <p>
+        One might wonder what the value of osteopathic manipulative treatment
+        could be for a genetic syndrome. Osteopathic medicine is based on the
+        principle that body structure and function are dynamically interrelated.
+        When one improves the anatomic interrelationships of structural elements
+        of the body (bones, muscles, membranes, tissues, fluids), one sees
+        improvement in the function of the body. This holds true whether the
+        causes of the structural abnormalities are genetically based or not. It
+        is clearly evident in looking at the face of a typical child with Down
+        Syndrome that there is a lot about structure that is less than optimal.
+        Let’s look at what improvements in functions might be seen by improving
+        the structure.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Down Syndrome, or Trisomy 21, occurs in about one in 800 births. It is
+        almost always the result of a third copy (trisomy) of some or all of the
+        genetic material on chromosome 21. Intellectual developmental disorder
+        and low muscle tone are probably the two most common hallmarks of Down
+        syndrome. There is also a much higher than normal incidence of heart and
+        gastrointestinal tract defects which often require surgical correction.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Many external body features are characteristic of the syndrome. These
+        include among others, an upward slant to the eyes; skin folds at the
+        inner edges of the eyes; a flat, wide bridge of the nose; small, low-set
+        ears; a shortened front to back dimension of the skull; a recessed
+        midportion of the face and a protruding and often furrowed tongue. Some
+        of these features contribute to the health complications seen in Trisomy
+        21, and some may plat a role in the common neurodevelopmental problems.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Changes in most features are possible through osteopathic manipulative
+        treatment, and the improvements made structurally are likely to result
+        in better functioning.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Infections</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        It is commonly accepted that most children with Down Syndrome have more
+        severe respiratory infections, especially of the ears and sinuses. There
+        are two reasons for this. One is the genetics of Down Syndrome causes
+        abnormalities in the immune system which make it more difficult to
+        resist an illness once exposed and harder to heal from it once ill. The
+        second reason lies in the structure of the facial features which makes
+        drainage of these areas more difficult.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The midportion of the face (the area between the eyes and mouth) is
+        small and typically set further back in the child with Down Syndrome.
+        This means that the sinus cavities are smaller than normal and sometimes
+        absent entirely. The wide, flat bridge of the nose blocks the openings
+        through which the sinuses drain. The problem is compounded by the
+        low-set position of the ears and the smaller than normal diameter of the
+        eustachian tube which drains the middle ear to the back of the throat.
+        When fluids fill the ears and sinus–spaces that should be occupied by
+        air-infections are likely to occur.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Drainage is further compromised by the differential growth of the upper
+        and lower jaw bones. The upper (maxilla), being part of the midface, is
+        small in comparison to the lower (mandible). This also promotes the
+        mouth breathing, protruding tongue and difficulty enunciating language
+        often see in trisomic children.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Through a very gentle touch, an osteopathic physician trained in the
+        cranial concept, can help to normalize the relationships of the bones
+        and membranes of the of the facial area. By assisting the midface
+        structures to come forward, one can see a cosmetic change in eye shape,
+        cheekbones, tongue/mouth relationship and bridge of nose. Usually the
+        frequency of upper respiratory infections are reduced as well.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Growth Concerns</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Almost all children with Down Syndrome show delays in gross motor, fine
+        motor developmental and language development. These skills often lag
+        four months behind at one year of age and eight to ten months behind at
+        two years of age. Language is frequently not gained until the fourth to
+        sixth year. Though these delays are assumed to be genetically
+        predetermined, let’s look at the role that body structure might play.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic theory asserts that neural pathways in the brain are
+        designed to lay themselves down in precise geometric relationships. When
+        the cranium (skull) is distorted in its shape, it is not possible for
+        these pathways to develop normally.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        There are several factors contributing to the distorted cranial shape.
+        The sutures, where one bone meets another, are often positioned
+        abnormally in Down Syndrome. The membranes that encase the central
+        nervous system and lie between the brain and the cranium have a powerful
+        effect on the growth of the developing skull. These dural membranes
+        usually demonstrate very poor mobility in the trisomic child. The front
+        to back dimension of the cranium is typically shortened in Down Syndrome
+        and is one more factor dictating distorted geometry for the developing
+        neural pathways.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic treatment can effect significant changes in the shape of the
+        cranium through addressing the sutures and the tensions in the dural
+        membranes. The distortion of the cranial mold appears to contribute
+        significantly to the difficulty in performing coordinated motor tasks
+        such as grasping and crawling. Most agree that mastery of these tasks is
+        a necessary foundation for later learning. Osteopathic treatment,
+        therefore, is an important part of the health plan for a child with Down
+        Syndrome.

+    >
+      <p>
+        The vast majority of orthopedic problems in childhood are seen in the
+        lower extremities: the feet, legs, knees and hips. When one considers
+        the vast changes that a small body must make as it grows from its
+        cramped in utero position through crawling to walking, it is not
+        surprising to find problems in the lower extremities.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The orthopedic condition routinely evaluated for at birth is “congenital
+        hip,” where the head of the femur (upper leg bone) cannot seat itself in
+        the too shallow depression present in the ilium (hip bone). Though it
+        must be treated with bracing, osteopathic treatment helps to normalize
+        the joint functions which were inevitably disturbed by the bracing.
+        Osteopathic manipulative treatment, which looks to improve body function
+        through addressing body structure, assists in the resolution of many
+        common orthopedic conditions of childhood.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Tibial torsion, the outward bowing of the lower leg, is caused b the
+        cramped folding of the baby’s legs in utero, and often resolves
+        spontaneously in the first year of life. However, if the torsion is
+        accompanied by a distortion between the knee cap and the tibial bone, or
+        between the tibia and the nearby fibula, these should be treated
+        osteopathically, preferable before the baby begins to walk. When babies
+        first stand, they often place their feet far apart for stability,
+        thereby standing on the inside edges of their feet. If the stance
+        remains wide beyond the first few months of walking, osteopathic
+        treatment is recommended.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Falling hard on one’s bottom is another normal component of learning to
+        stand but is hard on the relationship between the sacrum (at the base of
+        the spine) and the vertabrae of the lower back. This common insult, left
+        untreated, is probably one of the underlying causes of low back pain
+        suffered by adults.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Toddlers</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Between 10 and 14 months of age, most children begin to walk. As more
+        balance is gained, the distance between the feet should become the same
+        as the distance between the hips, and the feet should point straight
+        forward when the child stands, walks or runs.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        If this normalization of postural stance is not gained spontaneously,
+        osteopathic evaluation and treatment should be pursued. The causes may
+        be found in disturbed relationships of the bones of the pelvis or legs
+        or in abnormal tensions of the connective tissues or muscles. Correcting
+        these osteopathically early in life will foster healthy structural
+        growth throughout childhood and adolescence. Although standard medical
+        counsel advises waiting, with an expectation that gait abnormalities
+        will resolve themselves, we all have seen school children and adults
+        plagued with gait problems and the frequently associated back pain.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Older Children</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Sports injuries are the cause of the vast majority of structural
+        problems in this age group. Though they may not result in “skeletal
+        deformity” (the common definition of an orthopedic problem), they are
+        worthy of osteopathic consideration.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Children are physically active by nature and should be both encouraged
+        and enabled to engage in the physical activities that interest them.
+        However, they as well as their parents must be prepared to accept the
+        periodic injuries that accompany physical activity.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Knee injuries are common in basketball due to the necessity of rotating
+        one’s body over a foot planted on the court. Running sports, such as
+        track and soccer, are ideally done only by children whose hip, knee and
+        ankle line up vertically. Poor alignment fosters more frequent and more
+        severe injuries. All activities played with balls involve the risk of
+        impact from the ball, the most serious location being the head. The
+        intentional “headers” of soccer are less damaging to the normal motion
+        mechanics of skull joints than are accidental impacts. Football,
+        gymnastics, and snow or ice-based sports are fraught with potential
+        injury. Osteopathic treatment to release the sprains, strains and bony
+        misalignments as they occur is good insurance toward a healthy and
+        pain-free adulthood.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Some skeletal problems of childhood affecting the hips and/or knees,
+        such as slipped epiphysis, Perthes’ disease, Osgood Schlatter disease
+        and synovitis, require cessation of sports activities for variable
+        periods of time. Though they each have their appropriate orthopedic
+        treatment, the recovery of full and pain-free joint function can be
+        aided by osteopathic treatment, both during and after the disease
+        process.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Scoliosis</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Scoliostic curves of the spine are most commonly, though not
+        exclusively, seen in girls between the ages of 10 and 14. The curves
+        vary widely in their severity. The more severe fixed curves require
+        bracing or surgical treatment. In scoliosis, the vertebrae are both
+        sidebent and rotated. Ribs are displaced, and muscle groups are
+        stretched or shortened. There is often a hip height discrepancy.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Although discomfort is rare during adolescence, both pain and disability
+        are likely to be experienced later in life if left untreated.
+        Osteopathic manipulative treatment can be beneficial for both the more
+        mild functional curves and for curves requiring more invasive measures.
+        Osteopathic treatment can improve both spinal mobility and degree of
+        curve.

+        Viruses capable of causing a cold are present in our everyday
+        environments. The cold that may result from contact with a virus
+        presents an opportunity for the developing immune system of an infant or

+        of our immune system.

+        It is the complications of the common cold-pneumonia-which are the
+        enemy. And, it is in the prevention of these complications where
+        osteopathic manipulative treatment can be of profound benefit.
+        Osteopathic manipulation strives to improve body function through
+        correcting body structure. In relation to respiratory health, the proper
+        function of several body systems is vital.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The common cold taxes the lymphatic drainage in the neck and thorax
+        causing enlargement of the lymph glands and congestion in the muscles.
+        The lymphatic system can no longer adequately carry away the excess
+        tissue fluids associated with the infection.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Muscle spasm and asymmetry can also cause displacement of the spinal
+        segments of the neck or upper back. This further impairs drainage and
+        causes trouble to the delicate balance of the nerve responsible for the
+        thickness of respiratory secretions. Osteopathic manipulative treatment
+        will address these underlying structural disturbances and allow the
+        lymphatic and circulatory systems to enhance the immune system function
+        of the body. The cold can therefore resolve without the complications
+        which make parents dread the onset of this common respiratory illness.
+        Children who have the benefit of osteopathic treatment suffer fewer
+        respiratory illnesses and recover from them with less likelihood of
+        complications.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Allergies &amp; Asthma</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Some children suffer from respiratory allergies and some from asthma,
+        but for many children these two are an almost inseparable combination.
+        The respiratory tract is the most frequent site for allergic symptoms in
+        children.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        If a child suffers seasonally from watery nose, itchy eyes and sneezing,
+        the cause is usually pollens. If symptoms are year round, dust, mold,
+        spores, animal dander or certain foods are more likely culprits.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Asthma is characterized by swelling and increased secretions of the
+        bronchial mucous membranes and by spasm of the muscles of the bronchial
+        tubes. The wheezing and difficulty breathing may be precipitated by
+        allergens or irritants such as smoke. For some children, a common cold
+        sets off an asthmatic attack; for others, exercise, an emotional upset
+        or (due to a complex body reaction) a bad fall on the tailbone. With
+        such a variety of possible causes, what is the role of osteopathic
+        manipulation?
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        While medications available to treat allergies and asthma generally work
+        by suppressing symptoms, osteopathic manipulation addresses underlying
+        disturbances in the body’s structural components. Manipulation to ensure
+        free motion in the rib cage and diaphragm will enhance immune system
+        function by optimizing lymphatic drainage and circulation. The cleaning
+        functions of the venous and lymphatic systems are vital to the removal
+        of the toxic by-products of infection. Improvement in circulation
+        enhances the ability of the arteries to supply nutrients, antibodies,
+        white blood cells and oxygen to all tissues.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic manipulative procedures can stimulate the body to release
+        greater quantities of the substances that cause the dilation of the
+        bronchioles. This reduces the need for medications aimed at producing
+        the same result. The benefits of osteopathic treatment vary from one
+        child to another. One might have fewer respiratory infections and
+        therefore fewer asthmatic attacks, while another might require less
+        medication or have fewer hospitalizations. Most children experience
+        improvement in some aspect of their allergies or asthma therapy,
+        improving the quality of life for both child and family.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Parents Can Help</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        When children are young, parents are responsible for attending to their
+        health concerns. Many of the factors that promote good general health
+        are equally important in respiratory health, a nutritious diet, adequate
+        rest and warmth and seeking medical attention at appropriate times.
+        Parents can also learn osteopathic techniques to promote better
+        lymphatic drainage through a respiratory illness.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Good nutrition is vital to good respiratory health. A wide variety of
+        fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as well as a good supply of
+        Vitamins A, B and C, are essential. Adequate clear fluids, in the form
+        of water, juice or teas will make respiratory secretions thinner and
+        easier for the body to carry away. Avoid foods to which a given child is
+        allergic and withdraw dairy products when mucous is present.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        When respiratory allergies or asthma are a problem, parents should do
+        whatever is possible to minimize exposure to the offending agents. You
+        may need to find new homes for pets, vacuum with a sealed system, or
+        wrap mattresses for dust protection.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The common cold and its complications are less frequent problems if care
+        is taken to avoid chilling. Lower temperatures cause constriction of the
+        small blood vessels supplying the mucous membranes of the respiratory
+        tree. This lowers resistance to infection and harms the ability of the
+        inflamed membrane to heal itself. Chilling also causes neck muscles to
+        tighten, yielding a disturbance in the nerve supply. The resultant
+        dryness of the mucous membrane is yet one more factor in lowering
+        resistance. So keep your children warm both to prevent respiratory
+        illness and to help them heal from it.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Fever</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        If fever is associated with an upper respiratory infection, it is
+        usually low grade and more helpful than harmful. The viruses responsible
+        for cold symptoms are weak organisms which a low grade fever helps to
+        kill. The healthy cells of our own bodies are much stronger and are not
+        damaged by a low grade fever. To lower a fever by medication or tepid
+        bathing results in chilling and weakens body resistance.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        It is important to increase fluid intake, either by more frequent
+        nursing or bottles or cups containing clear liquids. Dehydration can be
+        a problem if the fever persists and fluid intake is not adequate. High
+        fevers suggest a more serious illness and should be evaluated by a
+        qualified medical practitioner.

+      author="Richard A. Feely, D.O., FAAO, FCA, FAAMA"
+    >
+      <p>
+        For centuries, in many parts of the world, highly trained birth
+        attendants have seen it as part of their job to correct the stresses
+        that birth has placed in the body of the newborn. This constitutes an
+        acknowledgment that birth is a difficult process and that measures can
+        be taken after birth to assist the baby in its recovery.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        In industrialized nations of Northern Europe and North America, birth
+        has been seen as an event that either leaves no negative impact upon the
+        baby or one whose complications, whatever they may be, must be accepted
+        and endured by both child and family.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Since the late 1800s, when osteopathy became a medical discipline in the
+        United States, osteopathic physicians have assisted babies in their
+        recovery from the birth experience, thereby helping to promote the best
+        possible health and development of the child.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Osteopathy is a medical discipline focusing on re-establishing and
+        maintaining the natural relationships of bones, muscles, membranes,
+        tissues and fluids within the body. Osteopathic manipulative treatment
+        promotes the body’s ability to function, develop and heal itself by
+        addressing problems found in these structural components.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Many older children experiencing learning or behavioral difficulties
+        have a history of a traumatic birth or early childhood head blows which
+        went uncorrected. Children who suffer from recurrent ear or sinus
+        infections frequently have a similar medical history. Although it is
+        most useful to address the structural problems originating in the birth
+        process shortly after birth, much improvement in the child’s condition
+        can be seen if treatment is initiated later.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>The Birth Process</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        Birth often results in harmful structural changes. The likelihood of
+        trouble increases when the labor and delivery is prolonged or augmented
+        by pitocin or when forceps or vacuum extractions are necessary. In
+        vaginal delivery, the infant skull is asked to make its passage through
+        too small a space. In response, the bones of the skull overlap to
+        decrease the size of the head, and often do not return to their natural
+        positions after delivery. In order to travel through the birth canal,
+        the infant’s head must bend markedly backwards. This puts pressure on
+        two nerves (vagal and hypoglossal) which can result in the colic and
+        sucking disturbances often seen in newborns.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Although C-section babies are spared some of the complications of
+        vaginal deliveries, they are also robbed of some of the benefits. The
+        transit down the birth canal applies a variety of pressures on the
+        infant’s head which help to free it from the shape it was molded to in
+        utero. The transit through the birth canal also compresses and
+        re-expands the chest wall preparing the baby to breathe and to clear
+        fluid from the lungs.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Once the baby is born, osteopathic physicians hope to hear a fairly
+        immediate and powerful birth cry. Fetal life would be fraught with low
+        oxygen levels if it were not for the mother’s higher blood hemoglobin
+        levels and the baby’s faster heart rate. The transition from life
+        outside is a critical time in which the baby loses its maternal support
+        and must provide for its own oxygen.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        A strong birth cry probably serves two crucial functions. It opens the
+        alveolar air sacs throughout the lungs, thereby ensuring adequate levels
+        of oxygen so essential to brain development. It may also increase the
+        internal pressure within the skull helping to re-expand those bones and
+        membranes which were compressed in the birth process.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Seeking Treatment</h2>
+
+      <p>
+        The infant will often communicate the presence of a problem by being
+        irritable or difficult to calm. In addition, excessive wakefulness at
+        night or reluctance to fall asleep, spitting up or vomiting can have
+        their origins in structural disturbances. A parent or health care
+        professional may notice visual signs of a structural problem such as
+        overlapping of joint lines on the infant’s skull which do not level out
+        in the first week of life. Visual asymmetries, such as one side of the
+        forehead further forward than the other, the two ears positioned
+        differently or the neck held to one side, can and should be corrected.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        As the baby gets a little older, a parent may notice developmental
+        delays. Although there are many reasons that children fall behind a
+        normal developmental timetable, some can be successfully addressed
+        through osteopathic treatment.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        The brain does rapid and critical development in the first year of life.
+        The nerve pathways are designed to lay themselves down in precise
+        geometric relationships. Even slight distortions in the structure of the
+        skull can impair the development of the nervous system. These can
+        manifest in developmental delays early in childhood and potentially more
+        serious learning difficulties later.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Some children suffer from medical conditions for which conventional
+        medical care has little to offer, conditions such as Down Syndrome or
+        cerebral palsy. Osteopathic treatment does not alter the underlying
+        genetic defect or birth injury factors, but it can be very effective in
+        enhancing the child’s functional capabilities as well as improving
+        general health and quality of life for the child and family.

+        <p>
+          Osteopathic Medicine finds its roots in the pioneering work of Dr.
+          Andrew Taylor Still, who challenged the medical practices of his time.
+          In 1874, Dr. Still developed a groundbreaking philosophy that viewed
+          the body as an interconnected unit, where all its systems work
+          harmoniously to maintain health. This idea was revolutionary, as it
+          diverged from the prevailing notion of treating diseases in isolation.
+          Dr. Still emphasized the significance of the musculoskeletal system,
+          recognizing that structural imbalances could lead to dysfunction and
+          illness. His philosophy laid the groundwork for the modern practice of
+          Osteopathic Medicine, which continues to evolve and adapt to
+          contemporary medical knowledge.

+        <h2>Overview</h2>
+        <p>
+          Osteopathic Medicine today embraces a holistic approach that
+          encompasses several fundamental principles:
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+          <li>
+            <strong>The Body as a Unit:</strong> Unlike traditional medicine,
+            which often focuses on isolated symptoms, Osteopathic Medicine views
+            the body as a unified entity. Each system influences and interacts
+            with the others, emphasizing the importance of considering the whole
+            person.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Reciprocal Relationship of Structure and Function:</strong>{" "}
+            Osteopathy recognizes that structural abnormalities can affect
+            bodily functions, and vice versa. This understanding guides
+            Osteopathic Physicians in diagnosing and treating not just symptoms,
+            but underlying causes.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Self-Regulating Mechanisms:</strong> The body possesses its
+            own mechanisms for maintaining health and balance. Osteopathic
+            Physicians trust in the body's innate ability to heal and regulate
+            itself, and they work to support and enhance these mechanisms.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Rational Therapy:</strong> Osteopathic Physicians base their
+            treatments on a profound understanding of anatomy, physiology, and
+            pathology. This knowledge allows them to provide targeted and
+            effective care.
+          </li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>
+          Osteopathic Medicine isn't limited to addressing physical ailments. It
+          also takes into account environmental, emotional, and psychological
+          factors that contribute to a patient's well-being.
+        </p>
+      </div>
+
+      <div>
+        <h2>Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)</h2>
+        <p>
+          Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) stands as a hallmark of
+          Osteopathic Medicine. Through OMT, Osteopathic Physicians employ their
+          hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of conditions. This
+          non-invasive approach involves various manual techniques to manipulate
+          muscles, joints, and tissues. OMT aims to restore balance, alleviate
+          pain, and enhance the body's natural healing processes. Scientific
+          studies have validated the effectiveness of OMT in diverse conditions,
+          such as musculoskeletal pain, migraines, and even post-surgical
+          recovery. The use of OMT underscores Osteopathic Physicians'
+          commitment to providing comprehensive care beyond conventional
+          treatments.

+
+      <div>
+        <h2>DOs vs MDs</h2>
+        <p>
+          While both D.O.s and M.D.s are licensed physicians with similar
+          educational foundations, there are notable distinctions:
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Education:</strong> Osteopathic Medical education places a
+            special emphasis on holistic care and the musculoskeletal system.
+            This knowledge equips D.O.s with a unique perspective on the
+            interplay between body systems.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Primary Care Focus:</strong> A substantial percentage of
+            D.O.s specialize in primary care fields such as family medicine,
+            pediatrics, and internal medicine. This aligns with Osteopathic
+            Medicine's emphasis on preventive health and wellness.
+          </li>
+          <li>
+            <strong>Osteopathic Manipulation:</strong> One of the most
+            significant differences is the incorporation of OMT into Osteopathic
+            practice. This hands-on approach allows D.O.s to provide an added
+            dimension of care, enhancing their ability to diagnose and treat a
+            wide range of conditions.
+          </li>
+        </ul>

+        <h2>Conclusion</h2>
+        <p>
+          Osteopathic Medicine, stemming from the visionary work of Dr. Andrew
+          Taylor Still, stands as a holistic and patient-centered approach to
+          healthcare. It acknowledges the body's intricate interconnectedness
+          and empowers patients to actively participate in their well-being.
+          Osteopathic Physicians blend cutting-edge medical advancements with
+          the art of touch, enabling them to diagnose, treat, and prevent
+          ailments with precision and compassion. As the medical landscape
+          continues to evolve, Osteopathic Medicine remains steadfast in its
+          commitment to providing comprehensive care that addresses not only
+          symptoms but the underlying factors contributing to health and
+          wellness.

+      <h1>DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS</h1>
+      <p>
+        Newborns frequently experience gastrointestinal issues, from spitting up
+        to colicky crying. Osteopathic manipulative treatment can aid in
+        resolving these problems by addressing structural issues caused by
+        difficult births that irritate the vagus nerve, affecting the digestive
+        system. By correcting misalignments and tissue tensions around abdominal
+        organs, such as the umbilical area and esophagus-stomach junction,
+        infants can handle feeding and gas more effectively. Additionally,
+        dietary adjustments for breastfed or formula-fed infants might alleviate
+        digestive distress. Healthy dietary choices during infancy are crucial
+        for proper organ and brain development.
+      </p>
+
+      <h1>DOWN SYNDROME</h1>
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can benefit individuals with
+        Down syndrome by improving body structure and function interrelation.
+        Down syndrome, caused by a third copy of chromosome 21, involves
+        developmental and muscle tone challenges. OMT can address structural
+        anomalies contributing to characteristic facial features and health
+        complications. OMT can improve sinus and respiratory issues, growth
+        delays, and motor skill development by addressing cranial shape, neural
+        pathways, and skeletal abnormalities.
+      </p>
+
+      <h1>ORTHOPEDIC PROBLEMS</h1>
+      <p>
+        Childhood orthopedic problems are often seen in the lower extremities
+        like feet, legs, knees, and hips. Birth-related stress or prolonged
+        growth can lead to various issues. Osteopathic manipulative treatment
+        (OMT) can help correct structural problems caused by birth complications
+        or other factors. OMT can address conditions like congenital hip issues,
+        tibial torsion, gait abnormalities, and sports injuries, promoting
+        healthy structural growth and preventing long-term problems.

+
+      <h1>RESPIRATORY HEALTH</h1>
+      <p>
+        The common cold is an opportunity for a child's immune system to
+        develop, but complications like pneumonia can be problematic.
+        Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can prevent complications by
+        addressing lymphatic drainage, muscle tension, and structural issues
+        related to respiratory health. OMT can also aid in respiratory allergies
+        and asthma by optimizing rib cage and diaphragm function, reducing the
+        need for medication and improving immune responses.
+      </p>
+
+      <h1>TREATMENT FOR NEWBORNS</h1>
+      <p>
+        Osteopathic treatment for newborns aims to correct structural stresses
+        caused by the birth process. Birth complications can lead to various
+        issues, and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) helps babies
+        recover and develop optimally. OMT addresses skull and nerve issues
+        caused by birth, helping to resolve irritability, developmental delays,
+        and other problems. OMT can benefit children with Down syndrome, aiding
+        respiratory health, growth concerns, and motor development.
