Ante-Natal and Child Clinic

Wednesday morning children’s and ante-natal clinic. Osteopathic treatment available for a wide range of maternity and children’s problems.

Ante-natal

Osteopathic treatment through pregnancy is a wonderfully gentle way of helping the body adapt to the changes which are taking place.

Help from us can help you to change your posture and teach you to use your body correctly through pregnancy.

We can also help to ease other side effects of pregnancy such as heartburn, indigestion, constipation, ankle/wrist swelling and pain in the buttock, groin or leg (commonly called sciatica). Some patients reported reduced morning sickness after osteopathic treatment.

Child’s Clinic

There are three age groups that can be helped babies, children and teenagers.

Babies. The gentle, skilful application of osteopathic treatment can often bring about a significant improvement in such infant problems as feeding difficulties, colic and disturbed sleep patterns and is increasingly being considered as a treatment of choice for some conditions caused by difficult or traumatic birth.

Children. As children grow older problems may become apparent which may have arisen because of earlier strains or as a result of trauma such as knocks on the head or falls. Recurrent infection in the nose and ears may be due to part or restrictions in the small yet important movement between the various bones of the growing skull.

Teenagers. By analysing, treating and managing problems associated wih growth, osteopaths make a major contribution to ensuring that young people become and stay fit and healthy.
