Babies / Children [Return to Top]
Sometimes, following the birth of a child or even during the birth process (especially where there has been a forceps or Ventouse delivery ) problems can occur due to pressures on the baby. These pressures can bring about tension within the babies skull and can show up in the infant in a number of ways. Typically, a parent will bring a child in with severe colic, eating problems, sleep problems or other issues which can become a major stress for the entire family. Many of these problems can often be rectified within 2 or 3 osteopathic treatments depending on the nature of the condition. Treatment will often involve cranial osteopathic procedures.
Older children are prone to so called ‘growing pains’ many of which are no more than just that. However, in some cases issues can be missed and the pains can be associated with a more structural underlying condition. Children are normally very straight forward to treat and very quick in responding to treatment.

Cranial osteopathy [Return to Top]
This field of Osteopathy developed from the discovery in the 1930's that small degrees of movement exist between the bones of the human skull.
From this, an approach to diagnosis and treatment has evolved in which the osteopath's highly trained sense of touch is used to identify and correct disturbances and limitations of joint and tissue mobility, in and around the joints of the skull.
Osteopaths using this approach also use orthodox clinical investigations in their diagnostic process and can help a wide range of conditions including certain cases of glue ear, migraine, dizziness, chronic sinusitis.

Many of these conditions can be markedly improved with the skilful help and treatment from an osteopath.
