Palsies (nerve damage to arms and legs) in Newborns

Palsies is when nerve damage (usually from the neck) is severe and the arm hangs without movement. schematic of brain and spinal cord of newborn

If osteopathy can be rendered quickly, palsies can be completely healed. Everything must be looked at and addressed:  cranial bone motion, vertebrae motion, rib motion, and sacral motion.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (brain damage) can be partially or wholly (I believe) reversed if the newborn can be treated osteopathically within the first one to 48 house after birth and the cause of the hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) is due to compression of the occiput at the base of the head and not, for instance, umbilical cord compression before or during birth, or compromised blood supply from the placenta.
