Sickness – Vomiting

The upper end of the stomach is held shut by a muscular sphincter which is composed of muscle fibres from the diaphragm.

Tension or torsion in the diaphragm can impair the function of the sphincter and cause the baby to bring back (posit) small amounts of milk. Paediatric osteopathy often is able to reduce the regurgitation of milk by reducing the tension around the diaphragm.

NICE - The National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommends a course of manual therapy, including spinal manipulation (including osteopathic), for the early management of persistent non-specific lower back pain.
