Chiropractors

This is just a quick post to detail our chiropractor experiences. I had mentioned before that we sought out chiropractic care once Sophia hit 15 months and still wasn't walking.

Let me first start out by saying that I "believe" in chiropractic care, that I myself have been treated by a chiropractor and had a good experience.

Sophia started seeing a chiropractor in November 2012. We had a 40 minute drive to go there but they came highly recommended. After examining Sophia, the chiro thought she had "sticky and clicky" hips. He wanted to see her 3x a week, EVERY WEEK. I like to think I'm a good mom but after a few weeks of that I had enough.

Our second chiropractor was in the next town over. When she first examined her, she was SURE there was something off about Sophia's right leg. So much so that she insisted I call her pediatrician and have a lower extremity x-ray done. It was her belief that Sophia's fibula was longer in her right leg than in her left one. She "Set" the bone with a little black instrument and asked to see her in 2 days to see if it stayed in place. She said she didn't know what she could possibly do for us and would anxiously await the x-ray.

The bone didn't "stay in place", so we went to our local hospital to get another x-ray. It came out fine, she was fine.

At this stage, I am unsure how much I believe. Congentially longer fibulas, sticky clicky hips.... and a baby who was already going to enough appointments a week in my opinon.

We stopped going to the chiropractor after that.
