Wilder
Welcoming your child into the world on their actual “birth day” should be a day of celebration🎉. It should be a day of gratitude and relief that the hours you put in researching and creating your birth plan came to fruition just perfectly📚. But when the big day arrives and life throws a curveball, the “should be’s” can sometimes turn into “this shouldn’t be,” and this is exactly what happened to the sweet Ness family😭. Mom Brooke, already under chiropractic care during her entire pregnancy🤰, was feeling confident and strong for the upcoming birth of her first child. However, when the big day came, things got scary… “Wilder had a traumatic birth. He had been in the birth canal way too long resulting in him actually getting stuck. During the emergency🚨C-section, they actually had to yank him out the opposite way of my pelvis. He was that stuck! One of his challenges were his lip and tongue ties. He had so much tension built up in his tiny body, and he was miserable😥,” Brooke explained. A true believer in chiropractic care and living a holistic lifestyle, Brooke said she trusted Dr. Rhonda and knew she could help her little fighter, Wilder👶.
Not only were Wilder’s mom and dad (Dustin) in unknown territory as first-time parents👨👩👦, they were also navigating how to give their son relief from the constant tension in his tiny body, trouble turning his head, and struggling to eat due to his tongue-tie. Nervous from already experiencing so much birth trauma, the “what-if’s” of finding Wilder the best care was swirling through their heads🌪. Their nerves were calmed, however, when Dr. Rhonda sat down with them to explain her findings at Wilder’s doctor’s report🤓. “Our minds were blown. I couldn’t believe what I thought was happening matched with what was actually happening in his body, and we could see it all on his neurological scans📈! Every place in his body that I thought he needed help, Dr. Rhonda pointed out that he in fact did! It was very real to see the problems that were lying within🤯,” mind-blown Brooke explained.
Today, Wilder is no longer the tense and miserable 4-week-old little boy that we first met back in December of 2023. Thanks to determined parents who made Wilder’s adjustment schedule priority #1, he is now thriving as he should’ve been all along🏆! “After the second week of pediatric adjustments, I could predict everything that Wilder was going to do once we left the office – sleep and nurse like a champ💪! It was like night and day when it came to his feedings, and the stress that I was carrying slowly went away. Chiropractic care will always be in our healthcare plan,” Brooke celebrated🎉! We are so honored to care for the Ness family, and we look forward to watching Wilder grow into a happier and healthier little buddy with each adjustment💚.
