Answer 1

I take it your doctor has checked for Gallstones? Colic may also be Psychosomatic.Your worrying about it may make the condition worse. Oesteopathic treatment can assist, but depends.If your practitioner is using Manipulation on you,it can help. I've never heard of them treating your condition.But you might well consider treatment by a clinical Hypno-therapist. As I said you may have deep lying emotional reasons for your condition. Hypno-therapy may well help you, and certainly releive condition. Good Luck!

Answer 2

My son had HUGE crying problems as a baby and it took me years but I finally took him to my Chiropractor. He went into the office miserable and his whole personality changed after one adjustment. I was sooooo sorry that I never thought of this while he was a baby.

Call around I would guess that there is a Chiropractor nearby that will do babies and children. Trust me it is worth it.

I have often thought how out of "whack" an infants back could get just being born.

I didn't answer your question about and Osteopath. I have gone to Only Osteopaths for my entire life and used to get my adjustment through their office. But have used a Chiropractor also since I was five or six. In my Drs. office only one still give adjustments.(Osteopath.)
