As indicated by Dr. Mills, sessions with children can last from 20-40 minutes, and can take 3-4 sessions every 2 weeks to see a notable difference. In Dr. Mills' own practice, children are seen periodically over 4-6 month duration to be certain that these children are responding well to treatment. Osteopathic manipulation treatment can range in cost from $75 - $150, depending on individual needs. As children develop and incur physical changes or injuries with relation to body tissues, this observation period is necessary. Dr. Mills further explained that most initial compressions are results from childbirth.

Collaborative efforts of research team documented a comparison of children who received conventional medical treatment (with or without manipulation). To Dr. Mills' knowledge, there has not been a comparison study of osteopathic manipulation (alone) to medical treatment (alone). However, Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment did present a remarkably decreased need for surgical treatment in reported study.

Osteopathic Manipulation is a noninvasive treatment that is mild and accepted well. Dr. Mills commented, "...though children sometimes need to be distracted with toys in order to lie still for length of time involved. There is no popping or cracking involved in treatment, when applied to young children."

Osteopathic practitioners who are involved in cranial field are doctors or dentists who are most often members of Cranial Academy (www.cranialacademy.org). Dr. Mills also relayed that nationwide demand for Osteopathic medicine is immense, therefore more interest in this field is prompting physicians to receive adequate training.

Based on these findings, one can only naturally assume that osteopathic manipulation treatment is a welcomed alternative innovation within medical community. As society is realizing potential benefits and effectiveness of natural medicine and noninvasive medical procedures, Osteopathic Manipulation is gaining lead-way in modern health treatments - especially for chronic ailment sufferers.

Muscle contraction headaches appear to involve tightening or tensing of facial and neck muscles.

Traction and inflammatory headaches are symptoms of other disorders, ranging from stroke to sinus infection. Some people have more than one type of headache.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When is Headache a Warning of a More Serious Condition?

Like other types of pain, headaches can serve as warning signals of more serious disorders. This is particularly true for headaches caused by traction or inflammation.

Traction headaches can occur if pain-sensitive parts of head are pulled, stretched, or displaced, as, for example, when eye muscles are tensed to compensate for eyestrain.

Stroke. Headache may accompany several conditions that can lead to stroke, including hypertension or high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease. Headaches are also associated with completed stroke, when brain cells die from lack of sufficient oxygen.

Many stroke-related headaches can be prevented by careful management of patient's condition through diet, exercise, and medication.

Conclusion

If you suffer from headaches and none of standard treatments help, do not despair. Some people find that their headaches disappear once they deal with a troubled marriage, pass their certifying board exams, or resolve some other stressful problem. Others find that if they control their psychological reaction to stress, headaches disappear.

For those who cannot say no, or who get headaches anyway, today's headache research offers hope. The work of scientists around world promises to improve our understanding of this complex disorder and provide better tools to treat it.
