PEDIATRIC OSTEOPATHY

A specialty within osteopathy, pediatric osteopathy focuses on the care of infants, babies, and children up to approximately 12 years old. Beyond this age, osteopathic care is considered general osteopathy.

In recent years, pediatric osteopathy has continued to grow and has demonstrated benefits for children, especially newborns and infants. Birth can sometimes be a challenging experience for these little ones. Between uterine contractions, the passage through the different stages of the birth canal, and the positioning of the baby’s head, multiple physical stresses can occur.

Whether it is for a postpartum assessment or a specific concern, treatment always begins with a detailed discussion about the pregnancy, birth conditions, and your child’s overall health.

Your osteopath will perform a comprehensive assessment using specific pediatric tests. Different systems and functions will be evaluated, including feeding and sucking patterns, muscle tone, reflexes, digestion, motor development, and the shape of your child’s head.

Osteopathic care can address a variety of concerns, including torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), breastfeeding and sucking difficulties, digestive issues (reflux, colic, abdominal discomfort), as well as unexplained crying. Your baby’s fine and gross motor development will also be assessed in order to provide personalized guidance, follow-up recommendations, and exercises to practice at home.

Why Choose Pediatric Osteopathy?

  • The assessment and clinical examination are performed with precision while respecting your baby’s comfort and needs.
  • A wide range of concerns can be addressed, with close follow-up throughout your child’s care.
  • Your osteopath provides simple, practical advice that can easily be incorporated into your daily routine to support your child’s well-being.
