Patient of the month!
3yo lovely girl presented with pain on the left side of her head. From the history, her mum told me she had had 2 falls in the last 2 weeks and had been holding her head with it almost touching her left shoulder, since the falls she realised.
The little girl was miserable, sweaty, grumpy and not her usual self. They had been to the GP twice to try and figure out what was wrong with her thinking it was an ear infection.
On examination I found she had the most jammed up clavicle and lower neck joints on the left I’ve ever felt in someone this age. She must’ve hurt herself with both falls. Her left ear had slight redness and she had lymph nodes up both sides of her neck.
With gentle treatment she hopped off the table moving so much better. The next day she was like a different child. She was holding her head as she should and happy and playing. I checked her again and found a couple of areas to address. I also noticed the lymph nodes were normal. Her mum was thrilled as they were flying that night. Chiropractic restores function which impacts every system and in her case, her immune system.
Thank goodness her aunty had referred her to us. If she had remained as she was I believe, they would’ve had a horrible flight home, with a little girl who was seriously struggling and would’ve become more so I suspect.
Please get your children and grandchildren checked. We often don’t see what they’ve been up to and you don’t want adaptations occurring in their spines that come up in their 30/40s as pain and problems. School holidays is a great time for check ups.
We are open over Xmas with reduced hours.
