Spencer (age 8 weeks) presented to our office with a history of gassiness (which mom
wasn’t convinced was colic) for 5 weeks duration. A thorough pediatric health history
including history of both mom’s pre-natal health and the birth process was reviewed.
Spencer saw two different general physicians who diagnosed gas/colic and prescribed
drug therapy. Mom and Dad decided to pursue natural remedies which gave limited
results.
Child was evaluated using the Insight Millennium segmental thermal unit. Palpation
assessment revealed vertebral subluxation on the right atlas and counter-rotation on
the left C2 vertebrae. Subluxations were also found on the left S2 vertebrae. Visual
observation revealed a right head tilt and tonic left sternocleidomastoid. Palpation of
the cranium revealed the frontal bone to be retracted back bilaterally against the parietal
bones. Left temporal bone was not freely moving along parietal ridge. Right sphenoid
was found to be lateral and superior. Webster’s cranial measurement revealed that the
left side of the cranium was larger indicating the side of adjusting priority.
Care was recommended at two times per week to begin. Care consisted of upper
cervical toggle using the pediatric headpiece and instrument adjusting. The cranium
was adjusted using the Webster coronal suture adjustment. After the first visit, the child
slept through the night and has since. Child had two bowel movements within the first 2
hours following the adjustment and mom describes him as “able to release his gas more
freely.” Mom also reported the child as being able to turn his head more freely and has
improved head holding strength.
