					      <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>

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

					      <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>

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      <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.

 | 
					
 |

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

			||||||
 | 
					        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.
 |

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

					        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.

 | 
					        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.
 |

			||||||

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

 | 
					        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>

 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 |

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

					        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.

 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        young child to gain strength. In this way, the common cold should not be
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        viewed as an enemy, but rather as a training ground for the maturation
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

					        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.
 |

 | 
					
 |

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        but for many children these two are an almost inseparable combination.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        The respiratory tract is the most frequent site for allergic symptoms in

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        the cause is usually pollens. If symptoms are year round, dust, mold,
 | 
				
			||||||

					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.
 | 
				
			||||||
 |

					      <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.

 | 
					        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.

 | 
					        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.

					      <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.
 | 
				
			||||||

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        <p>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					          Osteopathic Medicine today embraces a holistic approach that
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					          encompasses several fundamental principles:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        </p>
 |

			||||||
 | 
					          <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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					            <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>
 |

 | 
					            <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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					            <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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        <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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					          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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        <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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        <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.

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      <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.

					      <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.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      </p>

 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					      <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>
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					        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.
