A little baby, and a little chiropractic adjustment....

"I wanted to call you last night, I was in tears..." a mother told me over the phone this morning, "but I was afraid it was too late to call you." You see, she and her husband brought their 3-and-a-1/2 month old son into my office late yesterday afternoon. They told me how he had been suffering with acid reflux most of his short life, throwing up after every meal, snoring every night loudly and now he had an ear infection they were treating with antibiotics. They also told me that after 3 other kids, they noticed that he was exceptionally stiff in his movements, that he seemed to tilt his head a certain way all the time, that he has been generally miserable since he entered the world. "He hates to be held," they said sadly.

I listened, then moved on to the chiropractic exam. I found that the first neck bone in the baby's spine was misaligned and putting pressure on his nervous system. I told the parents what I had found, and asked if I could make a simple, gentle adjustment so that his brain and body communication could be more balanced. Of course, they said yes.  Immediately after just the tiniest adjustment, the baby's eyes lit-up and he looked into my face with the biggest grin and giggles, then went on to kick his arms and legs and "talk" to us all, very animated, very alive and very happy. "He is definitely moving more, and 'talking' more than ever right now!" the parents told me after that one chiropractic adjustment.

Mom told me this morning, "he let me carry him in our body wrap carrier for the first time since he was born, all of last evening as we shopped, and he slept the whole time. Also, he didn't snore last night."

You see, chiropractic isn't just for old working people with arthritis. Yes, it can help them, but chiropractic is for anyone with a brain and a spine, because chiropractic is about unlocking the body's natural vitality. It's about every person, every child, being at their best.

If you want to be at your best, or you want your child to be at his or her best, give me a call. An appointment is just a call away.
