Summary and Life Alive Lesson:

I certainly gained some perspective and saw how things in life are tough, but you can get through them with support and the right path to let the body heal. In Dr. Erin’s own words about Liam After his first appointment, our constipation-riddled child was able to use the bathroom. This was incredibly significant considering that our baby would get so constipated that we frequented the emergency room due to impaction. That alone was enough for us to continue care. A few months went by and I began to realize the changes in our son’s life. We took our son to get a haircut and it was event-free. He didn’t cry and we didn’t have to hold him down. He was starting to show interest in drawing and coloring. And then it happened — he was talking and he was saying sentences. His first word after starting chiropractic care was “car” and his first sentence was “I see cars.” (He really liked cars!) The most amazing part of this testimony is that he wasn’t supposed to be able to do any of this. We were told that he wouldn’t be able to communicate, express his emotions, or socialize with other kids. But here he was shattering that statistic.
