Protocol

Make an appointment online by clicking on the button “Take an appointement“

After you make an appointment, we will send you a prescription from the doctor of our team for X-rays of the cervical spine.

These X-rays do not allow diagnosis of KiSS syndrome or KiDD, but have a differential diagnosis aim.

The exclusion of any other pathology that may contraindicate structural manipulation is fundamental before osteopathic care.

Thus the X-ray will allow the team doctor to verify that the child does not have a malformation that would contraindicate the osteopathic care.

There will be no structural technique performed without prior radiography.

The first session:

•  We learn about the story of the child.
• The doctor analyzes X-rays to detect any contraindications to the structural manipulation of the cervical spine.
• We make the osteopathic diagnosis of a KiSS or KiDD syndrome, by an accurate articular osteopathic test of the cranio-cervical junction C0 / C1.
• We release with 4 hands (2 osteopaths), by functional osteopathic techniques all the adaptation tensions of the body relating to the dysfunction of the cranio-cervical junction C0 / C1 (skull, dorsal, digestive system, pelvis …).
• We release the C0 / C1 cranio-cervical junction by a structural osteopathic technique if necessary (Only if X-rays have been checked by the team doctor).
• Give advice to parents.

Further informations 

The care of KiSS or KiDD children is an osteopatic process, the sessions are performed by Osteopaths D.O justifying a complete course in osteopathy.

The treatment is done with 4 hands (that is to say 2 osteopaths).

The presence of a doctor-osteopath among the teams makes it possible to comply with Decree No. 2007-435 of 25 March 2007 on the acts and conditions of practice of osteopathy. [4]

The role of the doctor is to read the X-rays, and to attest to the non-contra-indication of the practice of osteopathy on the child.

As a result, the treatment of KiSS – KiDD is purely osteopathic.

Two follow-up sessions
For treatment two follow-up sessions with an interval of about 3 weeks are required.

The second session allows: 

• To check the effectiveness and maintenance over time of the initial treatment.
• To continue the treatment with 4 hands (2 osteopaths), for postural adaptations of the child, by functional osteopathic techniques (skull, dorsal, digestive system, pelvis …).
• If necessary, to repeat the structural manipulation of the cranio-cervical junction C0 / C1 in case of “reblocking”.

The third session allows:

• To control the effectiveness and the maintenance in time of the treatment.
• To finalize the treatment with 4 hands (2 osteopaths) for postural adaptations of the child, by functional osteopathic techniques (skull, dorsal, digestive system, pelvis …).
• To give all the information and advice for the evolution of the child.
• Orientation to complementary therapies if necessary (Psychomotricity, Speech therapy, Physiotherapy, Tunia, Kinesiology, …).
