Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I am hoping Heidi responds to this, she helped answer some of my questions too. I just recently took my daughter to see a chiropractor. She has a cervical subluxation. The top two cervical bones are shifted to the right. From what I understand this can place pressure on the brain stem. We have only had one treatment so far, so we will have to wait and see. She did seem a little more alert and in a better mood after our first treatment. If you do go, research your doctor. We happen to find one that is a DAN Dr/Chiropractor that sees many kids with autism. Good Luck~ Sandy > > This might be out of the subject range for this group. I was thinking of starting my son with a chiropractor. I have not yet treated him for metals but I was wondering if anyone has looked in this or done it? Is there any concerns I should have. My son is two and a half. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'd look for a pediatric craniosacral chiropractor. The craniosacral is very effective for head stuff and is very subtle. Not big adjustments. It's like fingers moving gently over the spot. Don't know how they do it, but it works great. We have seen amazing results since just after birth with our son and we continue to see her. There are also pediatric chiros--but I'd say one who is also craniosacral practitioner is best. We actually all three go--DH, DS, and me. She's the only chiro my DH has let work on him and who he actually voluntarily goes back to. Pediatric chiros will know how to work on small babies, even days old. I know a different chiro--just a pediatric chiro--and she told me when she gave birth her baby had some kind of high blood pressure issue at birth and they whisked him away to NICU. She had her DH don her scrubs from the car and walk in, bring the baby to her, she adjusted him, and bingo, his blood pressure came down. Often babies have molding that doesn't correct itself from birth, or gain some weird misalignments in the crawling/bumping/walking phase. Our cranio lady adjusted my son's nose bone (!!!) when he rolled over his PT peanut ball and bonked face down on wood floor. She had done same thing when he had the gummy eye after birth for long time--I finally mentioned it and she said oh, sometimes the bone is pressing on tear duct so it doesn't drain properly. She adjusted it and said it'll be really gummy for a coupla days while it drains. It was. Then it cleared up. I'd spent 6 mos of eyebright brews, colloidal silver, cleaning eye, warm compresses. So I'm pretty much a convert. My only caveat wd be to make sure it's pediatric and to find a referral from someone you know who raves about them. Not all chiros are this knowledgeable. Enjoying and learning from all the discussions. Thanks, guys and gals. Fiona > > This might be out of the subject range for this group. I was thinking of starting my son with a chiropractor.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I use a chiropractor. Have for years due to injures from speed skating. My eldest who's only diagnosis has been " speech delay " at 2 y/o was excepted in Florida's early steps program. Everyone was always so careful on what my son was labeled when they talked to me. I understand some can't handle but I wanted to know what was wrong so I could help my son with every option possible. The only thing I could get out of them was " he's not autistic but... " So I searched and searched on the internet for someone with the same characteristics. Finally I found the book on amazon named " he's not autistic but " . It got me a little closer to understanding other options in the recovery other than gfcf diet. I went to my chiropractor, and unloaded. He was the first I talked to outside family about my sons issues. That day was the best thing I ever did. My chiro has never dealt with autism. But jumped on board of helping my child. He asked to be patient but that he wanted to read up on everything after the test results. Since that day we have been on the road to recovery (in four months we gained over 100 words). It has been nice to have guidance in all of this where it can be explained what things mean without you researching. Its a one stop shop without costing an arm and a leg. He has also started going to conferences since nov last year. So I'd sit down and talk to them and see what they have to say. Hopefully they will jump on board with you. Most chiropractors who do nutrition as well are familiar with detoxing (I just took a class from mine about metal detoxing which was free). So far in a years time I've spent maybe 800 with tests and supplements. Its nice having a one stop shop. Good luck! Ps my moms family is from new zealand, my cousin had horrible eczema, my aunt took him to a chiro got him adjusted and it went away. [ ] Re: New and needing help!
