Treating Children

“As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”  Early influences can have a long term effect on children.

Dr. Tilden loves treating children, and believes it is critical to help them have the best possible start in life.

Who needs to come in?  See the possibilities that should make you consider it below.

If you had a difficult pregnancy or birth, your child may benefit from an evaluation and osteopathic treatment.  The birth process is difficult for every child, and Dr. Tilden treats the children of her pregnant patients no matter how beautiful the birth.

The many falls and bumps and stressors of childhood can take their toll.  It is better to be proactive and preventative with children.  As osteopaths we take to heart the saying, “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”  Early influences can have a long term effect on children.

Osteopathic treatment can be very helpful for such things as:

Difficulty nursing – sucking or latching on
Colic, spitting up or fussiness
Constipation
Failure to thrive
Not sleeping well
Delayed milestones of growth and development
Recurrent ear infections or illnesses
Asthma
Behavior or learning difficulties
ADD, ADHD, anxiety
Down syndrome, autism
Growing pains, injuries from falls
…and much more
