Constipation Helped with Chiropractic!

Did you know with the increase of prescription drugs Americans are having more and more bowel issues? Constipation affects upwards of 3% of North American children and can cause much family stress.  About 30% of these children will continue to have constipation into their adult years. Many parents are hesitant to treat constipation with potentially harmful drugs such as laxatives that can stop an adult or child from getting the nutrients from the foods they eat and look elsewhere for help.

In February of 2016 a research case study was published that may bring hope to many patients. An 8 month old baby boy was brought into a chiropractic office for a spinal evaluation after he had not had a bowel movement for many days. He was checked and analyzed for vertebral subluxation and a specific adjustment was given to reduced nerve interference.

As they were leaving the office, the baby boy had a bowel movement in the car seat!  Just a few hours later the parents called the clinic to inform the staff that her son had another two bowel movements since returning home!


A small change in structure can make a huge change in function!!!
