Children Need Chiropractic, Too!

I just had a young mother bring her six-week-old son into my office last week.  He had a cold, and his ears seemed to be bothering him, he was gassy and constipated, and beginning to act like he had colic.  Also, two days earlier, the doctor had informed her that tests indicate that he has 90% loss of hearing in one ear – independent of the cold symptoms.

The mother didn’t know what to do, and her aunt (who is a patient here) said, “You need to take him to Dr. Ray.”

I gave him a chiropractic adjustment, and explained that children are often chiropractic miracle cases.  She brought him in again two days later for a follow-up treatment and reported that he was much improved.  The grandmother said, “He’s now a quiet, happy, normal baby!”

I have treated infants as young as three days old, and children of all ages with a variety of complaints.  I tell the mothers, “If the child is still breathing and is conscious, it is worth trying a chiropractic treatment before going to the pediatrician.  As with adults, any treatment which avoids introducing unnecessary toxins (drugs) into the patient is always to be preferred.”

Mothers, you know better than any doctor when something is not right with your children.  They deserve to grow up as healthy as possible, and chiropractic care offers the best chance.

Getting rid of your pain,
