Avery
In September 2021, mom Shanon brought her tiny six-month-old daughter to see if their beloved “Dr. Liz” could help little Avery with the torticollis she’d had since birth👶. Despite a trusted relationship already in place, Shanon still had some skepticism and nervousness about having her baby receive chiropractic adjustments. “Avery was already a small baby, so having something potentially wrong with her neck muscles stressed my mama heart out way too much😥. I wanted a solution for my baby ASAP,” Shanon explained. Little did Shanon know that it wasn’t just torticollis relief that was right around the corner for her sweet baby💗…
When it came time to see just what was going on inside Avery’s little body, the thorough neurological examination not only confirmed the cause of the torticollis, but it also brought to light💡why she was also struggling with frequent constipation, gas, and sleep issues. “The neurological scans were directly on target for our issues on hand📊,” mom said. Torticollis, Dr. Rhonda explained, points to an improperly regulated nervous system. When excess tension manifests itself as torticollis in a little one’s head and neck, it can lead to poor digestion, difficulties sleeping, and a myriad of other ailments😭. In Avery’s case, Shanon reported “tremendous digestive improvements since starting her care” – an unexpected surprise as a result of restoring proper communication of the vagus nerve from Avery’s brain to her abdominal cavity🤯!
Other unexpected wins🥇for Avery include the deep, restorative sleep💤that Avery experienced within weeks of starting care and her congenital hypothyroidism continues to remain under control by using the lowest level of medication possible🙌! “I fully believe chiropractic has played a huge part in that,” Shanon explained❗ It’s truly amazing how powerful of a role an activated and stimulated vagus nerve plays in a child’s health. Luckily for Avery, her incredible parents refused to allow discouragement from outside sources to prevent them from tapping into Dr. Rhonda’s extensive knowledge of how effective a neurologically-focused chiropractic adjustment can be for children like Avery. Now a very energetic three-year-old with an immune system of steel💪, the E320 Chiropractic Family💚continues to celebrate Avery’s wins with each and every adjustment🎉!
