Digestive Problems

Osteopathic treatment offers a holistic approach to childhood health problems. For newborns, misaligned abdominal fascia causing digestive issues can be corrected, promoting normal digestion. Injuries to the lower back or sacrum can lead to digestive troubles, and osteopathic care targets the pelvic diaphragm to restore proper function, particularly vital after injuries or surgery. Vague complaints like tummy aches and nausea find relief through this approach. Osteopathic treatment provides a comprehensive way to alleviate childhood digestive and urinary issues, supporting healthier development.

Down Syndrome

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.

Orthopedic Problems

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.

Respiratory Health

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.

Treatment for Newborns

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.
