Today we would like to introduce a patient, Kimberly, who came to LFC when she was 3 weeks old. According to her mother, Jennifer, "The baby stopped pooping and instead started passing back milk, burping, and gas.
We immediately examined Kimberly's body and found that her pelvic sacrum was apparently distorted and pressing on the nerves, blocking the pathway for her poop to exit.
I quickly adjusted the unfinished sacrum and adjusted the spine. That day, I told the mother, "I think you will probably be fine now. If you still have no poop in the next couple of days, please come back to the clinic immediately," I told the mother.
When we asked her mother, Jennifer, how Kimberly was doing four days later, she happily replied, "Since the chiropractic adjustment, the burping and gas has stopped, and she's pooping fine! I was so happy to hear her reply.
I realized that children recover very quickly because they are growing up! I realized it again!
Normally, one would think that a chiropractor would treat a 3-week-old baby. I am grateful to Dr. Laura Hanson, D.C., who was very strict when I was an intern in the doctoral program of chiropractic in the U.S. I learned chiropractic specializing in pediatrics under Dr. Hanson. I am grateful to Dr. Hanson and will continue to work hard to become a chiropractor who can restore the health of pregnant mothers and infants and children.
