Today Raquel had her first manual adjustment from Dr. David. Dr. D is our family chiropractor that I've been going to for probably 10 years and my husband has gone to for probably 20+ years. There's no one quite like Dr. David - and he is the only man besides Mike that is allowed to touch me! He has helped not only with Mike's back, but with my carpal tunnel, and Gabby's ear infections (pediatrician wanted her to have tubes put in but she hasn't had ONE ear infection since being under Dr. D's care). I've seen him throughout my pregnancies and he's treated both girls since they were born. Whenever a pediatrician makes any kind of recommendation regarding the girls, my standard response is: "Let me check with our chiropractor." If he's in agreement with what they are saying, I do it. If not, my faith lies in Dr. David. He's never steered us wrong - and he's worked with us on more things than I can keep track of these days. We love Dr. D!! :-)
Because of everything going on with Raquel right now, especially all the sensory issues, I've been wanting him to check her out. Today he could tell she was off and adjusted her neck manually instead of using the "clicker", as Gabby refers to it. She was a little unsure at first but when he was done she was all smiles. He recommended that we start giving her flax oil for calming, to reduce the amount of television she watches, and wants to see her again next weekend. He also said he'd pull some info for us regarding Austism, although he's not convinced this is what is going on. I'm really happy he is involved and wish I would have brought her to him once therapy started so he knew what was happening for us. Today I have a sense of relief after seeing him.
