Young Benn was brought in at age 9 by his mother who described a five year history of:
• breathing difficulties and snoring
• lots of coughs, colds
• constipation
• regular ear aches
• halitosis (bad breath)
• traumatic breech birth
On x ray we found a significantly rotated and misaligned top vertebra (atlas subluxation). This was adjusted using the low force Atlas Orthogonal instrument. Within 3 visits the changes are evident, and presented below for you to see. No exercises were prescribed, nor dietary changes or therapies. Be aware that this is only after 3 visits...further improvement is possible.
On 12 January the patient was photographed standing in the same shoes and instructed to stand with both arms at his side. On both occasions this was the only instruction. This was then repeated after 17 January.
The fuzz around the pictures is removal of background clutter.
DO YOU BELEIVE he would be better off as he appears in the "after" shots?
DO YOU AGREE that poor health can result from poor posture?
This result was acheived purely by adjusting the poor functioning of the vertebra. Adjusting vertebral alignment and creating movement is the defining feature of chiropractic clinical practice that seperates it from all other professions.
Benn may still need medical treatment for the inability to breath through his nose, but do you think that a health professional should be obliged to suggest that a chiropractic assessment be done on children with such poor posture?
