Developmental Delay, Abnormal Crawl Patterns, and Inward Turning Knees and Feet (pigeon toes)

Developmental delay

disarticulated skull cranium showing occiput, temporal, and jugular foramen Developmental delay (delays in rolling over, sitting up, crawling, walking, speech, learning ability) is linked to compressed cranial bone motion and spinal motion.

brain and spinal cord of newborn The proper functioning of the brain and brain stem (where the centers for gross motion are found) relies on free motion of cerebral spinal fluid (surrounding the brain and cord) and the draining of blood flow from the brain. This motion allows for normal growth and nutrition of the brain cells to occur.

I have treated many, many children with developmental delay and osteopathy always allows the recovery to occur.

Abnormal crawl patterns and inward turning Knees and Feet (pigeon toes)

Abnormal crawl patterns and inward turning knees and feet can also be alleviated with osteopathic treatment. These issues are generally due to torque patterns in the pelvic bones and compression of the sacral segments and lumbar vertebrae. Sometimes the knee and foot bones themselves need to be addressed.pediatric osteopathy session with Dr. Barbara Newlon I have seen inward turning knees and feet alleviated in a child as old as nine years.
