Koen and the Chiropractor

I took Koen to a very local chiropractor yesterday (walking distance!) that several people have recommended to me. The reason I took him is because I would like to prevent future ear infections and also, try to get rid of this one that isn't quite gone. My thoughts? It was really wonderful. The first session does cost $50.00 (we have some coverage) but the follow ups are just $25-$30 for kids. He probably just needs one more session. He was very gentle with Koen and could do a lot while I was holding him. He had him lay on his back and also shot that little gun thing (what the heck is it?) into his neck. He could tell that the blockage was all on the right side (I didn't tell him, just seeing if he really knew what was going on:)

He said that Koen has an incredible range of motion which I pretty much knew already, he's such a monkey. He said that after the session, Koen would probably have a wonderful sleep that night. Wow, was he right!! Koen had his first 2 hour nap in months AND we put him down at 6:30pm and it is now 9am and he is still sleeping!

The chiro also gave me exercises that I can do at home next time he has a cold. Basically it's just rubbing from his ear down to the base of his neck to help drain all the lymph fluid. So nice that I will be able to do something next time.

In conclusion, I would completely recommend seeing a chiropractor for your little one! I do have to say that the second we got home, Kai gave him a headlock. Thanks, Kai, for trying to mess his neck up again.

Love, Louise
