Alaina’s health took a difficult turn when she developed a persistent cough that lasted for an entire winter season. Her mom recalled trying countless remedies, saying, “We tried changing up her supplements, adding different essential oils to her diffuser, cutting out different foods, and still, we couldn’t figure out what was causing her to stay sick.” Despite their best efforts, the cough lingered, and frustration grew. 😩
Watching her daughter struggle day after day was heartbreaking. “It was so hard to see her feeling bad all the time and not be able to figure out what was causing it. I kept thinking maybe there was something bigger going on because our kids don’t ever get sick,” her mom shared.
Thankfully, the family was supported by an awesome functional pediatrician who worked diligently to provide extra support. However, as the coughing persisted, it weakened Alaina’s lungs, and her mom knew they needed to also take a deeper look at what was happening in her nervous system. That’s when they decided to get another set of neurological scans at PWC. 📈
Alaina’s updated scans revealed nervous system stress that was interfering with her lung and immune function. “Right away, they knew we needed to up her frequency of adjustments,” her mom said. “When your kids have been adjusted since before birth, you think they’ll never get sick. But seeing her updated scans reminded me why they are such a valuable piece of the health puzzle.”
The results were remarkable. “Her cough went away and never came back!” her mom excitedly shared. “It’s been two winters without a single cough since!” 🎉
Reflecting on the experience, Alaina’s mom emphasized the importance of staying consistent with scans, even in a chiropractic family. “When your dad is your chiropractor, it’s easy to get off track with consistent scans. We never skip adjustments, but we definitely fell off with making sure we stayed on track with our scans. I’m happy that right away, the docs knew where to pivot in her care!”
Today, Alaina is thriving with a strong immune system. And as her mom jokingly adds, “We’re pretty sure she’s going to be the chiropractor in the family!” 🙌🏻
