Osteopathy offers a variety of non invasive healing treatments for birth trauma and pediatric problems and it is a choice in Neonatology. It is the osteopaths' highly developed sense of touch that allows the physician to palpate (feel) the patient living anatomy. The osteopathic's job is to set the body up to heal itself, to restore this normal function. The osteopath gently applies a precise amount of force to promote movement of body fluids, eliminate dysfunction in the motion of the tissues and release compressed bones and joints. We report a study to determine the safety and efficacy of osteopathic treatments. The gentle nature of this treatment makes it particularly effective for babies. It can be used to reduce distress and trauma in babies delivered by forceps or after a protracted and difficult delivery (whose prolonged crying may be misdiagnosed as colic), and can be used to treat infants who become hyperactive. Among 4558 babies observed between 1999 and 2001 in our Neonatology Unit, 488 cases were observed by an osteopath and 155 cases have been selected for osteopathic treatment. The outcome measure was symptom relief. There were no adverse effects.
整骨疗法为出生创伤和儿科问题提供了多种非侵入性治疗方法，是新生儿科的一种治疗选择。整骨医生高度发达的触觉使他们能够触诊（感知）患者的活体解剖结构。整骨医生的工作是让身体自我修复，恢复正常功能。整骨医生会轻柔地施加精确的力量，以促进体液流动，消除组织运动功能障碍，并松开受压的骨骼和关节。我们报告一项研究，以确定整骨疗法的安全性和有效性。这种治疗方法的温和特性使其对婴儿特别有效。它可用于减轻使用产钳分娩或经历漫长而艰难分娩的婴儿（其长时间哭闹可能被误诊为腹绞痛）的痛苦和创伤，还可用于治疗多动的婴儿。1999年至2001年期间，在我们的新生儿科观察的4558名婴儿中，有488例由整骨医生进行了观察，155例被选接受整骨治疗。结果指标是症状缓解。未出现不良反应。
