Re: recommendations for healing trauma

[Guest guest]

i also would like the osteopath name. I do live in the Bay Area and I would love the contact info.It sounds like your son was helped greatly by this doctor. That gives me a lot of hope. Thank you so much Krassi!na Sent from my iPhonena,In addition to what Heidi already recommended - chiropractor, I would also suggest seeing good osteopath to hear how he may "feel" your son's head and brain and sometimes osteopathic treatments can be very very effective. Last time we saw our osteopath we saw the baby who now is 6 months old and who was born with deformed head shape and the mom said that doctors wanted to do some surgery on her child and put a special hat so the head shape gets better. She decided to give osteopathy a chance before they do the head surgery (they started osteopathy immediately after the baby was born) and with each month her baby was getting better and better. Last time we saw them we heard that the osteopath said they don't need any longer the treatments because the head of the baby is completely normal. My eyes teared when I heard that and I can only imagine how the mom felt when she heard that as well, probably she was the happiest mom in the planet. In my son's case osteopathy was quite effective in the beginning, now we hit plateau and we don't see any longer big improvements.We have been consulting with this osteopath for my son for the past 2 years and we started when he was 3 years old.At this time my son couldn't climb the stairs alternating his feet, neither he could ride a bicycle and he was walking on his toes. Each time the doctor was working on his brain he told us very accurately what is going to happen the next month - that first he will start climbing the stairs alternating his feet, then he told us when he will stop toe walking and start riding his bicycle and indeed all that happened. Lately he has been telling us that my son's brain feels quite confused and too much going on and again quite inflammated. We are going through big anti-viral, anti-microbial protocol so no wonder he feels his brain like that. However on the good side after appointments my son is much more relaxed and usually falls asleep (and he never sleeps in the afternoons), so I know it is still helping him, although not as dramatic as it used to be.If you live in the Bay area let me know and I can give you the contact info of the osteopath we are seeing.HTH ;)Krassi>> Hello,> I am hoping to get some advice on therapies that are effective in treating a young child for trauma.

Yes, call Dr. K's office and talk to his staff about the possible practitioners

that can help him. Dr. K is often booked up, but they know a lot of

practitioners who were trained with Dr. K's knowledge. They can also tell you

more about who does ALF and if there is a dentist in your area.

Love and prayers,

Heidi N
