Max’s Chiropractic Story

Ever since Max was an infant, motion sickness (particularly car sickness) has been a huge burden for our family.  With many of our friends and family living over an hour away, traveling with 3 or 4 changes of clothes, plastic baggies and tons of wet wipes became second nature.  Eventually, Max’s car sickness became a huge deterrent to us traveling just about anywhere.  Not to mention the poor little guy would just be miserable for the car ride and up to an hour or two after.

Right around when Max turned about one, we noticed that he constantly had watery eyes.  They would be goopy and yucky and we noticed that they weren’t improving.  We took him to a doctor in our town (we live in such a small town, we don’t even have a pediatrician) and she diagnosed him with conjunctivitis.  The medicine that we gave him helped a little momentarily, but only a few weeks later, the watery eyes came back.  And stayed for about 5 months. 

We realized that Max had allergies.  Not wanting to give him medicine, we just dealt with the watery eyes and stuffy nose and hoped he would out grow it.  Well, the allergies came and went with the seasons, but they never went away for good.

I took both of my boys to see Dr. Nancy about one time every six weeks.  But when I started noticing that Max’s allergies were getting pretty bad, I decided to bite the bullet and make the 1 ½ hour round-trip to take my boys once a week.  Am I ever glad that I did!

I am thrilled to report that we have been on 4 different road trips now, and Max did not get sick on any of them.  One was a trip to Monticello, which is a trip he has never gone on in his life without getting sick in the car.  For about 4 straight weeks, he has only had 1 day when his eyes were watery.  They haven’t been bothering him at all and he hasn’t been sniffling or rubbing his nose.  And his mood has been NOTICEABLY more pleasant! 

Going to see Dr. Nancy is the highlight of the week for my boys.  Her gentle and loving nature with children is so natural that they bonded right away.  They adore her, and my family is so thankful that we have been able to benefit from Chiropractic and from one of the best DC’s out there…Dr. Nancy Elwartowski.
