Spitting Up/Reflux Babies, Toronto
Osteopathy has been shown to be effective in supporting spitting up/reflux babies. Osteopathy for Spitting up/reflux babies involves Osteopathic techniques using pressure and specific movements to help relieve pain and improve digestion.
One in every three babies is born with reflux. It’s a problem where food and stomach acids back up into the throat.
This can cause difficulty breathing, crying, fussiness and sleep deprivation. If not assisted, reflux can lead to problems like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett’s esophagus and even pneumonia.
Infants who spit up or have reflux may experience difficulty feeding and can be at an increased risk for developing chronic health problems.
While there is no known cause of reflux, it is thought that a baby’s physiology may predispose them to developing the condition.
Some factors that may increase a baby’s risk include obesity, prematurity, and low birth weight.
The use of Pediatric Osteopathy for babies and children dates back to the 1800s when it was recognized as a form of healing.
Osteopathy Care is based on the belief that the body is capable of self-healing and that disease occurs when the body’s natural ability to heal is suppressed. Today, osteopathy remains one of the most popular forms of complementary medicine for infants and children.
The methodologies used in osteopathic care are based on the principles of anatomically correct care, which focuses on restoring function and correcting imbalances in the musculoskeletal system.
