Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy

Hello. My son is 5 years old and has a squint and a weak vision on his left eye.
He's wearing glasses and patching (easyier since he was 3) since he is 2 and a half with some improvements.
Could it be worth to see an osteopath? Are there some cases where it could help?
We live in Windsor.
Thank you for your answer.

There are many cases in which osteopathic treatment can influence squint. The condition relates to how well the mucles control the position and movement of the eye. As an osteopath we would be interested to determine the cause of this and whether it relates to the function of the muscle itself (influenced by the positions of the bones and surrounding soft tissues) or whether it relates to the control of the muscle by the nerves. Within these two broad types of squint there are case which can be influenced by the osteopathic techniques. We would not be able to tell you how much we can help until we assess your son.

The best advice I can give you is to book an appointment at the clinic http://www.fpo.org.uk/Secondary/Misc/maps.html

I hope this is useful
