Cranial Osteopath John Williams of Atlas Pain Relief Centre in Tamworth and Solihull is assisting parents with babies and children who fail to achieve a good nights sleep. Lack of sleep creates tiredness and irritability in not only the child, but also siblings and parents.

Parents may be faced with the child continually waking them up during the night and if this continues for months and in some cases years, then the whole family unit is affected. Little help seems to be available and parents appear helpless with nowhere apparent to turn to for guidance.

Children affected perform poorly at school and lack concentration and this can also affect siblings who share the same sleeping quarters. Relationships can become strained between parents and create generally an unhappy environment for everyone. So what can be done?

Cranial Osteopathy is a safe method of treatment which is suitable for babies and young children. In fact adults may also benefit, with many conditions treated successfully.
Osteopaths diagnose and treat structural stresses and strains that may be interfering with health. Cranial Osteopathic treatment performed by John Williams is designed to assist infants and babies and aid recovery from traumatic births and Caesarean section.

The birth of a baby is one of the most stressful events of its life. The baby is subjected to enormous forces as the uterus contracts and pushes the baby along the birth canal before it makes its exit. In many cases intervention with forceps or ventouse are common and these methods add mechanical stress to the babies head during delivery. Childbirth is a natural process and we were designed to give birth in an uninterupted manner with the baby passing down through the birth canal. So what happens if the baby is removed from the mother before this process is completed? The baby misses the final stage of labour, which involves the process of moulding.

During normal labour, the infants head is subject to large compressive forces which begins the moulding process. The soft bones of the skull overlap, bend and distort, which reduces the size of the babies head to allow passage through the birth canal. After delivery the skull begins to expand and un-mould in an attempt to return to its normal shape, assisted by the yawning, suckling and crying of the baby.

Cranial Osteopathy is well known for its success with common problems such as lack of sleep, irritability, infantile colic, glue ear, learning difficulties, aggressive behaviour and constant crying.
