Well Adjusted Osteopathy

Different stresses and strains that occur in utero and during the birth of a child may cause your child to have some musculoskeletal imbalances. At Heaths Road Osteopathy we use the principles of osteopathy to assess and treat the infants that present to us at our clinic. Patients have sought treatment at Heaths Road Osteopathy for infants with the following conditions- •Feeding difficulties •Reflux •Colic •Irritability •Constipation and wind •Sleeping disturbances •Flat spots or misshapen head •Reduced neck movement •Musculoskeletal-related delays in developmental milestones When treating infants at Heaths Road Osteopathy we generally use a cranial osteopathy approach. This means that, most of the time, the treatment is so gentle that the infant is actually unaware that anything is happening at all. This type of treatment can be performed on babies from the first day of life. Normally, the earlier we see a child after the symptoms begin the better. Common conditions that this clinic treats in children are- •Headaches and neck pain •Postural issues •Growing pains •Hip and leg pain •Joint strains and sprains •Sport injuries •Walking difficulties and foot pain.
