Patient: Miguel, a 5-year-old boy
Diagnosis: Difficulty in school, poor vision, and misshapen head
Treatment: Osteopathic Treatment
Treatment Period: 8 weeks
Outcome: Head shape changed and eyesight improved by two prescription sizes
Miguel was a five-year-old who came to us from Mexico because he was having difficulty in school, suffering from poor vision, and had visible plagiocephaly (misshapen head). His developmentalist in Mexico had studied at OCC and recognized that he needed osteopathy.
We treated Miguel for eight weeks and not only did his head shape visibly change (as documented by photos that are part of his patient record), but his eyesight also improved. In fact, we have a letter from his eye doctor stating that his vision improved by two prescription sizes (Diopters) from osteopathic treatment. His parents tell us now he can see better and is simply a happier child.
