The idea of a 3 year-old getting regular chiropractic adjustments for their ailments may sound far fetched, but for one little boy it gave him a chance at a normal childhood.
We wanted to bring a story back to life that we shared a few years back about a little boy named Joey, who was plagued with a host of symptoms concerning his upper cervical spine, due to a difficult birth. These symptoms included ear infections, Colic, asthma, gait problems, spinal dysfunctions, seizures, nausea, vomiting, digestive problems, migraines, restlessness, and insomnia– all at the ripe old age of THREE!! His family desperately searched for solutions to his symptoms, caused by the swelling in his brain, including four brain surgeries to try to drain the inflammation. With only a glimmer of hope left, they were introduced to Chiropractic from a close friend. Joey was understandably a bit reluctant at his first visit, but after a little coaxing he was relaxed enough to receive a chiropractic adjustment to his upper cervical spine called an Atlas adjustment. The shift in his vertebra basically took the pressure off his brain stem, which visibly and drastically reduced his symptoms. He instantly began to smile and was even able to run around the office! After several follow-up appointments Joey continued to regain his health and his childhood happiness, a success on so many levels.
Chiropractic care has helped children escape from a myriad of symptoms/ailments including:

  • Hyperactivity/ADD/ADHD
  • Immune Function
  • Respiratory Function
