Breathe Easy

After more than eleven years in practice, I have noticed a trend. I can’t explain it, but it happens. It seems that multiple practice members will present on the same day or in the same week with similar problems. For example, one week it may be the “hot-low-back week,” a few unrelated grown men near tears after lifting or twisting. Another week it is stressed-out women with migraines, the next, babies with constipation. Chiropractic of course helps everyone, all conditions and ages. Adjustments allow the innate intelligence within the body to flow freely, and then it seems healing just happens.

Recently, I have been keeping an eye on two precious little girls with similar health issues. You may recognize Savannah and her sweet smile from our office. She has been a practice member for a couple months now. Savannah was diagnosed with asthma at about 9 months old and was later told she has allergies too. Savannah’s mom came to us for help because she wanted a better way to help her now four year old daughter…without medication. I checked her spine and we began giving Savannah gentle adjustments with our specialized Thompson tables. Then her body did what it was supposed to. The nerve flow was restored to her lungs, and healing happened. Can you believe that just two months into chiropractic care, Mom reported that Savannah was off two of her medications! She wrote us: “For the first time in a long time she can breathe. She got a cold and it only lasted a day instead of 2-3 weeks like before. She’s off two of her medications and she seems happier!” Did I mention how much I love chiropractic?

The other little girl is Biyonca, a beautiful little blonde girl with captivating eyes. She came to us because the doctors didn’t know what else to do for her. They were out of medications. The truth? They had tried all they drugs they could, well at least until she turned four. (Once she is four, they have a whole bunch more they can legally prescribe.) So needless to day, Biyonca’s mom came to Crossroads for a different approach. I am hoping her mother writes us a testimonial soon. After beginning chiropractic care, Biyonca didn’t have any asthma attacks. The real test came last week when Biyonca came down with a cold and a cough. This was the kind of cold that would usually land her in the hospital. On Tuesday we had a call from Biyonca’s mom that the cough and wheezing were flaring up. Mom and Dad were both sure that the night would be another spent in the ER. But our Sharyn told them to come in for “an extra adjustment” to give Biyonca’s little body a boost. Biyonca got adjusted faithfully on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday that week… and never went to the hospital! In fact, she only used her rescue inhaler on two days that week. If you knew the full history of this little girl, you would know that this was small miracle for Biyonca. Did I mention yet that I love chiropractic?

Well, I am looking forward to see what this week holds, who knows what healing trends will take place! In my unpredictable world, one thing remains constant. Chiropractic adjustments remove subluxations and allow the body to heal itself. A simple, beautiful truth.

Wishing you a holiday season of joy, happiness and subluxation-free health,

Dr. Stephanie
