Stories of Hope

Prior to pediatric chiropractic care at E320 Chiropractic💚, 8-year-old Wofford was the opposite of a cool cat.  Impulsive and easily overstimulated, Wofford’s inability to control his emotions was weighing heavily on his parents😞.  “He had no self-control whatsoever.  Whether we were at school or home, from morning to evening, it was a constant battle to keep him regulated – especially if his usual schedule or way of doing things was knocked out of order,” mom Kristyn said.  Diagnosed with ADHD at age 7, both Mom and Dad reached for the typical, mainstream treatments: medication💊, calming gummies, counseling, and reducing screen time in the attempt to set their son up to be his very best self.  Still frustrated and not seeing the results they were hoping for, Wofford’s determined parents were open to non-traditional options🤞.  When a friend of Kristyn’s (an E320 practice member) mentioned that Dr. Rhonda was certified in pediatric chiropractic care, Kristyn started paying attention to the office’s social media as well as doing her own research📚.  Despite Wofford’s pediatrician dismissing the idea of pediatric chiropractic care as well as the little knowledge Kristyn had of chiropractic, she and her husband decided to give it a go and scheduled an appointment for Wofford to receive advanced neurological scans and a thorough evaluation📈.  After Dr. Rhonda took the time to fully explain Wofford’s results, Kristyn said she wasn’t surprised.  “I felt validated.  It was proof,” she said relieved😰.  

About 2 months into Wofford’s personalized care plan, Mom and Dad began to see improvements🎉!  “He was able to control his emotions, have fewer meltdowns, and his sleep even improved!  We didn’t know how important sleep is for him, and now he’s waking up better, having better days, and it’s just an overall pretty cool cycle,” Kristyn said.  She said he still has his moments, but they’ve been able to reduce Wofford’s ADHD medication💊and their goal is to take him off of the medications completely in the future.  

After a 2-week hiatus from his regular adjustment schedule due to the holidays, Kristyn said they could definitely tell that he was getting “antsy” and struggling with his attitude due to the missed appointments😵.  Even Wofford himself said “It feels like it’s been a month – not 2 weeks😂!”  At his first appointment back, the E320 Team💚noticed that Wofford wasn’t his usual, witty self.  However, after his usual football chats, high-fives, and specific adjustment from Dr. Rhonda, all was well in Wofford’s world and he left with his usual, contagious smile😊!  Wofford himself wanted to make sure that everyone knew that his favorite part of coming to the office was “talking about football and getting my back adjusted.” There you have it; words from the wise…one cool cat😎.
