Newborns, Babies  & Children

Birth requires all the joints of the newborn.

Poor circulation or poor joint positioning can lead to crying, reflux, or poor digestion. 

Our Osteopaths can gently act on these situations for either preventive or curative purposes.

Babies & Children Osteopathy

Pregnancy and childbirth can be stressful for your baby. Whether birthing is achieved through lower path or through C-Section,  that can be a source of various problems, especially in his chest and skull.
As he takes his first steps, his body changes and he needs to adjust (emotional and physical chocs, growth peaks,...) to his challenging environment.
Turning 6 and until adolescence, he is exposed to Back Pain, scoliosis or kyphosis, headaches, static disorders and even orthodontic problems (i.e dental appliance ).

Pain appears at different ages and Osteopathy is particularly recommended for babies & children. It is practiced for either preventive or curative purposes.

Our Pediatric Osteopaths are highly skilled and experienced in the matter.

So ....when should your Babies & Children see our Osteopaths ?

From a preventive perspective: Anytime. However, as a child constantly grows, so does his exposure to new risks and injuries.  Below are the some of the conditions that you should be attentive to before consulting an osteopath.

Keep in mind that : The sooner our osteopath diagnoses and treats your child,  the faster he will recover.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions clearly depends on two main criteria :

  • the severity of your child’s condition
  • the age of your child.

For most cases, a single treatment is enough. Hence, we usually do not recommend further treatment. However, some conditions (like palgiocephaly) require more.

For Newborns, as shared decision making is central; we advise to follow up his development on regular basis:

  • At 6 months,
  • Walking acquisition period 
  • At 1 year old and every year till 6

These consultations do not exempt you to visit your pediatrician
