Chiropractic Care Can Help Children and Babies So Much!



I’ve got another miracle story for you. One of my patients brought her first child, a four-month old boy, to see me on Monday.  She said that he was bending sideways in the back and the neck, which was quite apparent to anyone who looked at him, but didn’t seem to be in any particular pain and had no other obvious symptoms. Her mother and grandmother are both patients, as well, and they said, “Take him to Dr. Ray.”

When I laid him on my lap to examine and treat him, he began quite enthusiastically to let us know that he didn’t like being there.  His mother apologized and said that he hates to lie on his stomach, and that he was teething, which made him more grumpy. I found several areas to work on in his back, and one in his neck, while he continued to complain. I explained that if she still felt like something wasn’t right after two or three days, to call and bring him back again.

On Wednesday, they returned and the mother reported that he was doing much better. She explained that he had reached the point where he would not even look at or play with toys on his right side, but since the treatment he was interested in both sides again. Also since the adjustment, she was delighted to tell me, he had had no teething pains. I explained that parents often are surprised by that type of response to chiropractic care. His chiropractic adjustment was much quieter on this occasion – he smiled the whole time, and didn’t squirm nearly as much.

This is what the baby's mother posted on our Facebook page (Dr. Steven Ray, Chiropractor) on 9/12/12:  "Thanks for helping out my baby boy! His head had always been tilting to one side, but is now able to hold it up straight - AND his teething isn't bothering him as much! Thanks so much!"

When the spine is aligned correctly the nervous system functions optimally, and the body recovers and maintains health. Children are no different than adults, except that they respond much quicker to my ministrations. Your children deserve to grow up healthy and happy. If they have any condition which concerns you, whether you have been to the pediatrician or not, take them to a chiropractor and see if the natural approach is right for them.

Getting rid of your pain,
