Welcome to Dr. Kaminsky's practice, where we specialize in pediatric craniosacral therapy in New York City. We are dedicated to providing gentle, effective treatments for newborns, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, focusing on their individual health and developmental needs.

Healthy child development includes nutrition, physical activity and an optimally functioning nervous system. As the spine develops, it is vulnerable to trauma from activities and events. The “arc of health” of children starts with birth trauma, the events of childhood, nutritional shortcomings, emotional coping, and many other types of stress placed on the emotional system and physical body. The objective is to minimize negative forces while strengthening the body’s capability to adapt to its environment. It’s important to note that symptoms (pain and malfunction) may not surface for years, injury to the nervous system can have a lifetime of damaging effects - left unaddressed.

A child’s nervous system function, the craniosacral rhythm, should be assessed after birth because of the straining effects of the birthing process. Studies show that numerous children who experience symptoms of colic, ear-infections, torticollis, developmental challenges, asthma and many more conditions, also have a compromised craniosacral mechanism which is impairing their nervous system function. Early detection and correction can avert further damage to the nervous system in the infancy and toddler years ahead. Otherwise an existing unbeknown impairment and can compound over time resulting in negative adaptations and compensating habits that lead to needed care and treatment later in life.

If your child is not performing at the age appropriate milestones, have her / him be seen.

Healthy child development incorporates factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and the proper functioning of the nervous system. As a child’s spine develops, it can be vulnerable to various traumas that may affect their health. The journey of health for a child begins with birth and is influenced by early life events, nutritional needs, emotional resilience, and environmental stresses. Our goal is to minimize these negative influences while enhancing the child's ability to adapt. Symptoms or dysfunctions may not appear until later, yet early intervention can prevent long-lasting effects on the nervous system.

Pediatric Care

Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy for Infants

The developer of Craniosacral Therapy, Osteopath Dr. John Upledger said the following, “The inner wisdom of a fetus and an infant is every bit as intelligent as that of an adult. It knows what its body needs to correct its dysfunctions. It knows why those dysfunctions are present. It has a softer voice than the adult inner wisdom. Therefore, the Craniosacral Therapist must learn to listen more carefully. Once the connection is made, all the information you need for care will be forthcoming.”
