When I was pregnant with my son, I found out that my baby was breech at 38 weeks. My dr said that we could schedule an external cephalic version followed by induction if successful or c-section if not. Or we could just schedule the c-section. My dr doubted that an ECV would be successful at this point because my baby was 9.5lbs. None of those options were acceptable to me. I came home and began to research. I found out about the Webster technique and went to www.icpa4kids.com to find a chiropractor in my area certified in Webster. I called each one within a 50 mile radius and discussed their personal success rate with them. I found one that I really clicked with. She had a lot of experience with Webster including performing it on women who were already in labor. I went to her the next day and was surprised at how simple and non-invasive the Webster Technique was! As I made the 45 minute drive home, I felt my baby flip to the vertex position. It was truly an amazing feeling! I finally had relief from that big hard head that was poking me in the ribs. Over the weekend my baby returned to the breech position so I returned to my chiropractor. At this time I was 39 weeks. I had Webster again and my baby returned to the vertex position. I continued to get Webster every couple of days until I went into labor and had the beautiful natural birth that I dreamed of.

Ear Infection Relief
Another story!
Benjamin has trouble with ear infections and this week he started showing signs of his ears hurting. We went to the office as normal on Monday and told my dad Ben's ear was bothering him. Dad looked at it and said the one ear was indeed infected. I asked him if I should call the doctor and get a antibiotic filled for him. He said no and went and gave him an adjustment, cleaned out his ear with peroxide then alcohol then this "Miracle Oil" that my Mom ordered out of some catalog. Wednesday we checked Benjamin's ear, there was NO sign of inflammation or infection in either of his ears. As a child I was put on so many antibiotics that when I get sick as an adult they almost have to do it thru an IV and make it a very high dose because nothing works on me. Tubes were not an option and I was always left to suffer. Jason, my husband suffered from ear infections as a child and had tubes. I am just so glad Benjamin can be healed non invasively and he doesn't have to go thru what his dad and I went thru!
Isn't that awesome! Someone so small can do so much!

Chiropractor of the Future
So... where should I start.
My dad is a chiropractor and 2 of my uncles were chiropractors and I have a cousin that is a chiropractor... so I guess it is in our blood.
My son is 16 months old and we go to work in my dad's office 3 times a week and Benjamin goes along... I swear the patients only come to see him... but anyway... Benjamin has grown up in the office. We have been working there since he was 5 months old so he knows his way around. Benjamin has been mimicking my dad for a long time. He would put his hand on the wall and tap on it with the other one, just like my dad did to him when his sinuses would act up. A couple of weeks ago I had a patient come out and tell me that Benjamin gave her an adjustment. I laughed and went on my way. Well yesterday I went back to my dad's desk to ask for an adjustment and Benjamin went into the room and stood right by the table. I laid down and he started pushing on me and kinda made a "hugh" sound like my dad does. I started laughing. I just know he will be one too! More power to him!

From Patient to Chiropractic Student
I had headaches in grade school and was a very poor student because of it. I barely made it into college, but I became a single mom before graduation. I had seen some chiropractors during high school, but it never really helped my headaches long term. When my headaches got so intense that they made me vomit, I wanted to end my life. I knew going to an MD, I would get pills to cover up what was wrong.
I decided to give chiropractic a try. This chiro explained subluxation and nerve interferrence. I eventually became headache free. My daughter was checked at 5 days old, but was subluxation free. She was such a happy baby...it was amazing.
I moved hundreds of miles from there, and continued to search for a chiro that was on the same wavelength, but with no luck.
I had my second child, but she was sick constantly. I took her to two different chiros in the first two years of her life, and was very frustrated because I knew the power of chiropractic.
With God's grace, the chiro that helped me with my migraines moved within 1 1/2 hours from us. We drove there three times a week and within a short time, my daughter was completely off of her prescription meds. What I knew was possible all along.
I decided that I wanted to help others the way my family and I had been helped.
I am attending college at Northwestern in Minnesota. I am looking forward to helping my patients bodies heal themselves, and am very excited about educating the public about subluxations.
Dentists got people to take caring for their teeth more seriously, and I intend to get them to take caring for their spine more seriously!!
Blessings,
Jan
