13 month old Sleeping Through the Night after One Adjustment

This was posted yesterday on our Facebook page by a patient and I just had to share it. This family had never been under chiropractic care before and came in when the dad was having some major back pain. The entire family decided to join in. During one of the appointments (in which the kids weren't scheduled to get adjusted), Dr. Kelly noticed that the 13 month old just didn't look like he was feeling good. She asked if she could go ahead and check him and asked if he'd been fighting an ear infection. Using the Activator adjusting tool, she gently put the Atlas (top bone in the spine) back into place and let the parents know that there was a good chance that the ear drained of all the fluid overnight. Sure enough he woke up the next morning with the drainage, no fever, no more fussiness. The mom posted the following: 
I just want to say Thank You to Dr Tim & Dr Kelly we as a family have started seeing them and my 13
month o
ld had an adjustment last week after being super fussy and holding, his ear for days
(he's also teething). The night after his adjustment he slept thru the night something he's never
ever done and the nxt morning his ear had drained. Since then he sleeps all night every night this
 Mommy is super happy and want to say you two are the Best!!

Did you notice that line about him sleeping? He had "never ever" slept through the night! For a sleep deprived mommy, a baby sleeping through the night is a HUGE thing. It's now been 5 nights since that first adjustment and he is still sleeping through the night! It makes you wonder what kind of pressure and pain the atlas was causing that kept him from sleeping all night long. I believe this little boy is going to see some great results under chiropractic care!


Have you had your child checked??
