Driving Direction

Houston, TX, is centrally located in southeast Texas, easily accessible from multiple highways. If you’re driving to Houston from the north, take Interstate 45 South, which will bring you directly into the heart of the city. From the east, Interstate 10 West will take you toward downtown Houston, passing through key neighborhoods along the way. For those coming from the west, Interstate 10 East is the main route, leading straight into the city. If you’re approaching from the south, you can take Interstate 45 North, which also connects to the city’s central areas. Houston’s robust freeway system, including the 610 Loop and Beltway 8, offers convenient access to different parts of the city, with easy connections to surrounding suburbs like Bellaire, Kingwood, and Clear Lake. Make sure to account for possible traffic when navigating through peak hours, as Houston is known for its busy roads.

Frequently asked questions

Infants & Children

If my child has both plagiocephaly and torticollis, do we need a helmet and PT?

You can choose to do both. You can also choose to do neither. The helmet can reshape the head (not treat torticollis), and PT can stretch the neck muscles. However, neither the helmet nor PT addresses the root causes of plagiocephaly and torticollis. Osteopathic treatment aims to get to the bottom of why plagiocephaly and torticollis happened in the first place, without making you feel guilty or judged, and you can spend less time juggling appointments.

Infants & Children

What other benefits has osteopathy shown for infants?

Osteopathic treatment can help with latching difficulties/pain, colic/fussiness/gassiness, reflux/arching back, torticollis and laying in a c-shape, blocked tear ducts/goopy eyes, constipation, and sleep. Oftentimes, these challenges are related and coming from the compressive forces of delivery. Osteopathic treatment aims to free up the root causes.

Infants & Children

At what age do the bones fuse and it’s “too late” for treatment?

The soft spots of the head come together around 12 months old, but the bones of the head never fuse, even as an adult. A fused bone has a straight line. The sutures of the skull are jagged because there is always tiny motion, which can be seen as motion artifact on an MRI. Treatment for reshaping the head should be done during the window of time that the soft spots are open because of the degree of motion available. After 12 months, very small, incremental changes can happen up to 15-18 months old.
