Dr. Newlon's FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after birth can a newborn receive Osteopathic Treatment ?

I have treated newborns as early as two days old. Newborns can be treated on the first day of their life. I strongly recommend treatment begin within the first month of life and I am pleased to offer parents of newborn to one-year-old babies the first osteopathic evaluation and treatment free of charge.

Osteopathy:

pediatric cranial sacral osteopathy session The length of a child's treatment plan varies with the child and will differ from that of an adult. For an adult, to begin treatment, an average of four to six osteopathic sessions are scheduled; more may be necessary with a severe problem. The initial one-hour consultation includes a one-half hour osteopathic treatment and is followed by weekly half-hour long sessions. Treatment for an infant or a child can be as little as two treatments up to two months.

Homeopathy:

The initial homeopathic evaluation is one hour with a one-half-hour follow up scheduled four to six weeks after taking a remedy. Homeopathic resolution of a problem can take three months to two years, depending on the duration or severity of the problem.
