Growth is an important step in development. Each child's growth is unique and can cause pain or occasional imbalances.

Osteopathic follow-up of the child and teenager is important so that he or she does not grow up with dysfunctions that can lead to various disorders in adulthood. This follow-up is very important if the child has scoliosis. Static disorders (scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis) are a sign of poor adaptation of the body. The causes, which can be visceral, traumatic, cranial, will be determined by a specific diagnosis of the osteopath. Appropriate correction techniques will improve these spinal disorders.

Children undergoing orthodontic treatment. Wearing braces creates tensions in the jaw and skull bones that can cause stress, headaches, neck and back pain or difficulties to concentrate.

Whatever the profession, everyone spends many hours a day in the same posture, or repeating the same movements.

Sitting in front of a computer, carrying objects, doing manual work with the same arm, working in difficult positions or simply feeling stressed, are the causes of many musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Attentive to these muscular or joint disorders related to working conditions, the osteopath uses a method of care that seeks to identify and treat mobility restrictions that can affect the entire human body.

The appearance of the first pains and tensions should encourage you to consult an osteopath who will perform a complete check-up. It will restore the body's ability to adapt to the constraints it is undergoing.

Any mobility loss of joints, muscles, ligaments or visceral system can cause an imbalance in your body. This is manifested to athletes by various symptoms, from simple contracture to chronic pain, altering performances.

Through his specific action on the whole body, the osteopath knows how to recognize and treat the real causes of pain limiting the practice of sports activity.

Through its effectiveness, it improves muscle potential and power, joint flexibility and respiratory capacity. Osteopathic treatment also allows a better concentration before the event and optimizes recovery after the exercise.

When to consult?

• Prevention: annual review, competition preparation, before the start of an activity, performance improvement
• Back pain, scoliosis, joint pain
• History of fracture, sprain, surgery
• Sprain, tendonitis (tennis or golf elbow, Achilles tendon)

Of course, pregnancy is not a pathological condition, but it is accompanied by many changes in the body in a short period of time.

However, if this pregnancy occurs while the body is experiencing tensions, dysfunctions or mobility restrictions, adaptation to these changes will be disrupted and pain may appear. The osteopath's goal in this case will be, as always, to reharmonize the patient's body so that it can regain all its adaptive capacities.

For example, rapid weight gain leads to a change in posture that can cause spinal pain, most often lumbar and back pain, sometimes an acute low back pain (lumbago), sciatica or torticollis.

In this case the osteopath works to relax the spasms, decompress and restore the mobility of the joints in pain. Of course, the techniques used are chosen according to the term of the pregnancy and with respect for the comfort of the future mother.

Osteopathy is also useful in the treatment of digestive disorders (nausea, constipation, heaviness) and venous disorders related to pregnancy in order to relieve dysfunctions without taking oral medication contraindicated to pregnant women.

It may also be useful to consult your osteopath at the end of pregnancy to prepare your pelvis for childbirth and prevent the high stress that it will experience when the baby passes through.
