Age is not a factor when it comes to being prone to digestive issues.\u00a0Whether you\u2019re an adult who is suffering or have a \u00a0child in your care showing signs of discomfort, digestive problems can cause major disruption to daily life.<\/p>\n

Bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, colic and indigestion are just a few of the symptoms that are associated with gastrointestinal ailments<\/a>.\u00a0Some turn to over the counter medications, while others follow a more holistic approach. Eating mindfully, getting enough fiber, staying hydrated, managing your stress and getting exercise- the advice you get is usually all the same. However, many are surprised when they are referred to an osteopath. The following explains how osteopathy can benefit a person of any age with their digestive problems.<\/p>\n

Babies & Children<\/strong>
\nBeing a parent is hard.\u00a0 Maybe you are experiencing the newborn stage for the first time, or you\u2019re a seasoned veteran to the parenting world. Each baby is different and comes with their own set of challenges. Such as, but not limited to breathing\/chest problems, breastfeeding difficulties, birth trauma, congestion, eczema, ear infections, flat head syndrome to name a few.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the digestive issues you hear about the most when it comes to babies, they would have to be colic, constipation, gas, and reflux.\u00a0Osteopathy can in fact help with all of these! At a time in their lives when they are unable to use words to describe their pain, constant crying and signs of discomfort may be just enough to make you set an appointment <\/a>with a trusted osteopath. Allow them to provide you with helpful information from their assessment and see what your options are!<\/p>\n

Many parents believe that osteopathy would involve too much pressure and perhaps be too \u201charsh\u201d on their babies.\u00a0This is far from the case. The cranial approach to treatment that is usually used for babies works to encourage the tissues to ease and release themselves rather than applying force. As a rule, when it comes to treating babies, treatments are very gentle, so much so that the infants often completely relax and fall asleep during the session. Studies point to favourable outcomes in infants using OMT, (Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment).<\/a><\/p>\n

Older Children<\/strong><\/p>\n

As children get older, it is possible that they will grow out of certain digestive issues, but some may continue to follow them as they age.\u00a0Chronic illnesses can be even harder to handle with the coming of new milestones.<\/p>\n

For example, when they reach the ages of 3 or 4, and later when they are 8 and 12, as these are the prime ages to having growing pains<\/a>.\u00a0It can also be used for growth and postural issues, headaches, joint pain, respiratory problems and much more.
\nThis goes to show that while Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment<\/a> is beneficial for the digestive needs of older children, it also aids with even more concerns.<\/p>\n

Adults<\/strong><\/p>\n

For adults who have possibly experienced years of their chronic illnesses\/problems concerning digestion, they may feel like they have tried everything.\u00a0Getting evaluated by an osteopath is often overlooked and it may be the treatment they\u2019ve been searching for.
\n\u201cDigestive problems can be the direct result of problems in the musculoskeletal system such as tight abdominal muscles, restrictions in spinal joints, interrupted nerve or blood supply and organ restrictions. These musculoskeletal problems can be caused by pregnancy, abdominal surgery, falls, injury and trauma to the pelvis, back or ribs.\u201d -via <\/em>Vibe Natural Health<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

While the issues may be caused by the musculoskeletal system, there are many other possibilities as to what causes adults to suffer.\u00a0Sensitivities to certain foods, or lactose intolerance, a poor diet, Crohn\u2019s Disease<\/a>, and many others. However, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome<\/a>), is the most common.\u00a0According to aboutibs.org<\/a>, in the U.S alone, between 2.4 and 3.5 million annual physician visits are dedicated to those suffering from IBS. While studies<\/a> in Canada showed a lifetime risk for a Canadian to develop IBS is 30%.<\/p>\n

Findings from one\u00a0study<\/a> done by Luca Collebrusco and Rita Lombardini concluded that, \u201cCombining OMT with appropriate nutrition appears to be an optimal approach and might rep- resent a promising strategy. Although this therapeutic plan may not be ideal for everyone, most patients could well benefit from its use.\u201d Indeed, this is merely one example of how osteopathic practices can be beneficial to adults suffering from similar ailments.
\nOverall, while many people may remain skeptical when it comes to the benefits of osteopathy, it truly is worth trying at least once. The more times you go the better the results will be, so give it a chance to help you, your baby, or your child\u2019s stomach and get some relief.<\/p>\n
