What is an Osteopathic Newborn Check?
Osteopathic New-Born Check: A Gentle Start for Your Baby
The New-Born check was designed by Emily for parents to have their baby checked Osteopathically following birth. It is primarily for babies from 1 week to 3 months, although you can bring your little one/s anytime you feel ready.
Most of the time babies are quick to recover from birth, meaning that Osteopathic treatment is not needed. An Osteopathic New-Born check assesses for any stress or strain.
Should any stresses or strains be felt this will be discussed and explained to you, and cranial osteopathic treatment offered. If further treatment is recommended this will be explained to you and you have the choice to book another session.

Patient Information, Consent & Privacy
Osteopathy, like all forms of health care, offers considerable benefits, but may also include some level of risk. Research suggests Osteopathy is one of the safest forms of treatment (Bagagiolo et al, 2022). We require every patient to make an informed decision before beginning treatment.
At the appointment
-
During your consultation at Kibworth Osteopaths, a health history will be established and a physical examination will be conducted. These examinations are performed to assess your specific condition, determining if Osteopathic Treatment is needed and can help.
-
The patient/patient advocate understands that sometimes it is necessary to expose and palpate certain areas of the body for diagnosis and treatment.
-
Every effort is made to preserve modesty and keep you comfortable. Please tell or signal to the Osteopath if you have any concerns during your appointment and if you ever feel uncomfortable please do not hesitate to say so.
-
Before any manipulation is given, the Osteopath will explain the need and obtain your verbal consent and the patient has the option to opt out at any time.
Adverse Reactions
-
The physical response to treatment varies and cannot always be predicted, as every individual is different.
-
Whilst rare, some patients may experience short-term aggravation of symptoms – up to 72 hours.
-
It is important to follow the advice of the Osteopath to reduce any chance of adverse effects from treatment and should you be concerned please contact us.
