Colic
Colic is the name given to babies who suffer intense episodes of uncontrollable crying which may persist for hours at time. Colic affects very young babies is typically by the time the baby is 6 months old. There is no single recognised cause for colic.Theories include gastro-intestinal immaturity, wind, and food intolerance. Whilst it is not a dangerous illness it is nevertheless a cause of great discomfort for both the baby and parents who will find it as difficult to sleep as their off-spring. The symptoms vary but tend to include an inability to sleep partcularly on the back, stomach pain, and vomiting. Many parents have found cranial osteopathy to be an effective treatment providing relief to babies who often benefits from even the first treatment, leaving much calmer and more relaxed.
Back pain
More than 65% of British men and women will suffer at least one episode of severe back pain during their adult lives. Pain can be caused by a trauma such as an accident or fall or as the result of bad posture, cramped working conditions at a computer or behind a steering wheel or as a result of lifting heavy loads. Frequently the cause is an unexpected event which triggers an underlying disc weakness. The result can be intense pain and, in extreme cases, a complete lack of mobility. Traditional treatment protocols ordinarily resort to drugs and rest. However, the physical therapy professions such as osteopathy can often significantly speed recovery through massage, manipulation and mobilsation of joints.
