Newborns & Infants & Children
Newborns & Infants
Years of practice are required to enable a practitioner to feel and respond to a newborn’s tissue. I advise parents to seek out Doctors of Osteopathy and not craniosacral therapists because this profession (Osteopathy) is where the work originated and the training is in depth and requires many hours of certified/tested time.
I have treated newborns as early as two days old. They can be treated on the first day of their life. I strongly recommend that treatment begin within the first month of life. Profound change can occur that enables your baby to grow to its full potential. I have named several situations in this website that can be helped and/or alleviated.
The general rule is that the sooner you treat compromised tissue the better, because compressed tissue becomes hard like scar tissue, when the body’s fluids don’t move through it, and it will take longer to see results, and sometimes the results are not as complete if you were to wait. Also, there are ossification (hardening) centers in the skull and sacrum that occur at different time intervals. The first in the skull occurs at three months. The next major ossification occurs at three years. More complete change can occur with cartilage than with bone. Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) to the tissue is happening in compressed tissue to some degree, another reason to begin treatment as soon as possible.
Children
The calm and soothing approach of Osteopathy makes it ideally suitable for treating children. Structural problems, such as those affecting the correct mobility and function of the body’s framework, can lead to a range of problems. These may include:
Postural – such as scoliosis
Respiratory – such as asthma
Manifestations of brain injury – such as cerebral palsy and spasticity
Developmental – with delayed physical or intellectual progress, possibly triggering learning behavior difficulties
Infections – such as ear and throat infections or urinary tract infections, which may be recurrent.
Osteopathy can assist in the prevention of health problems, helping children to make a smooth transition into normal, healthy adulthood.
Osteopaths care for the child as a whole person. This holistic approach encompasses all functions and influences including the body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

Testimonials
“We started seeing Dr. Barbara Newlon when my baby, Ava, was just 3 weeks old and struggling with colics. It was a very difficult time for us, evenings were especially hard, and she was uncomfortable and unable to relax or lie down easily.
I honestly wasn’t expecting to see such a noticeable improvement so quickly, but after just one session, within about a week, her colics started to decrease, and within two weeks they were basically gone. I know every baby is different, but for us the change was remarkable and such a relief.
Beyond the results, Dr. Newlon is incredibly gentle, patient, and kind with babies. She has a calm, reassuring energy, and the way she handles and connects with little ones made me feel completely at ease as a parent. I continue to bring my baby to her as needed and always feel confident and supported. I’m truly grateful we found her and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, attentive osteopath for their baby.“ – Isabela M.
“I have found Dr. Newlon’s specialties to be for pregnancies, newborns, young kids, and head bones/tissues. It’s amazing when a health practitioner can say, “The problem was partially a twisted diaphragm/stomach, and I’ve fixed it.” — or similar.
Dr. Barbara, as she calls herself to the kids, explains her treatment (what she found and treated) in technical terms and summarized versions, suggesting follow-up visits as necessary. She’s firmly committed to getting kids a good start on life and offers half off for one-year olds and younger. In osteopath circles, she’s apparently famous for her work with kids.
I know it’s hard to figure out sometimes if something’s working for your kid — especially treatments that are for the long-term. We’ve noticed better sleep and nursing, coincidentally also sometimes with homeopathic remedies. Who says you can’t do anything about colic?” – Christine T.
“My entire family (husband, 3 kids, myself, mom, grandfather, uncle, sister) currently see Dr Newlon and have for over the last 10 years. I personally had a wonderful experience with her for neck injury that became chronic pain. She was able to get me to a place where I was no longer in agony and was able to build my strength in and around my neck. 8 years later my neck is healthy & happy.
In 2012 I brought my 2 week old son to see Dr. Newlon. We had an extremely fast birth and wanted to address the bones in his head. I felt very comfortable with her working with my newborn. I continue to bring him to Dr. Newlon when he takes a bad spills.
I also received treatment from Dr. Newlon to help heal the trauma from pregnancy & childbirth.
My older son received treatment for his asthma, he hasn’t used an inhaler for almost 6 years now.” – Andrea S.
“Dr. Newlon is a true healer. I first took my infant son to see Dr. Newlon for body work because we were struggling with latching while breast feeding. I learned in this process that most newborns and new moms can benefit from osteopathic treatment. My son has been to see Dr. Newlon about 5 times since last November and he loves his visits. I’m not certain if all of his disposition is attributed to his treatments but I will say that he is a most good natured child and rarely cries. I believe he must feel pretty good because he doesn’t cry or fuss much outside of hungry/tired cues. This leads me to think that many babies must feel poorly if they do cry and fuss constantly and it seems this could be avoidable through treatment to rule out physical reasons behind the fussing from their little bodies being pulled out of whack from the birthing process. I could not see or feel what happened during during my C-Section but my partner informs me that our baby was pulled out very forcefully and it makes sense that their bodies need some TLC and movement back into place after that trauma.
I saw Dr. Newlon to work on my c-section scar which was very painful and had a constant pulling sensation. In one visit my scar pain was fixed. I also threw my back out of whack after giving birth and could barely move. Dr. Newlon fixed these issues as well and I am seeing her for a full series, tune up.” – Jessie M.
