I’d never thought before then that children would need chiropractic care until my daughter dislocated her neck at a bouncy house, and the pediatrician said, “Just give her some ibuprofen and she’ll get over it.” But her neck didn’t seem right to me, so I called Dr. Jessica, and she adjusted Keena, my daughter, and that was at two years old.
Well Keena’s four and a half now, and she has regular adjustments, whenever she goes through months of learning how to walk or skate, or… She’s falling down, she’s being a toddler, she’s growing up. And sometimes I’ve even brought her in just to help get her over a nasty cold a little faster. It’s just, it’s a nice preventative care routine. She is not as sick as her contemporaries, just flat out. She might get two large head colds a year, over the past two years. I’m attributing that to regular chiropractic adjustments.
When I realize that she’s not sleeping as well, or she’s a little crankier, I’ll realize maybe it’s time for that adjustment, because her body’s not able to heal itself as quickly. We’ll get the adjustment, and then, almost immediately, she’s sleeping better at night, she’s digesting better. …when you know as a parent, your child needs something. When you see the benefits of a regular adjustment, and how healthy your child is, they get over colds faster, they sleep better at night, they have a better growth pattern, it’s nice to know.
Dr. Jessica and Dr. Ryan are very personable. They care about you as a person. They aren’t necessarily looking to have you come right back in, but they let you walk away with the tools necessary to know when you need another adjustment. Dr. Jessica in particular is very good with children. My daughter loves her. And in fact, she plays Dr. Jessica at least once a week at home, and adjusts her dolls, and I just sort of smile at night. I take that as a very good thing, that my daughter’s very, she’s bonded with Dr. Jessica. She trusts her. And Dr. Jessica has never once treated her like she doesn’t feel what she’s feeling. Of course there might be some discomfort, there might be some scariness, but over the past couple years, Dr. Jessica has built a trust with my daughter that I know she’s not gonna break, and that my daughter knows that if I tell her she’s gonna come see Dr. Jessica, she looks forward to it now.
