I wanted to share with you this amazing testimonial from one of our fantastic patients...enjoy!
"I have to share my wonderful news with everyone. My daughter Gianna(20months) has been suffering with ear infections this winter. A couple months ago the Dr. prescribed amoxicillin. Many parents know this pink liquid all too well. So, we decided to try it because she had a feer & we wanted to help her. Se was on it 3X's a day for 12 days (the standard). Two weeks later we were back to the Dr. (for something unrelated). When her ears were checked she said they were red again and probably infected. Again, Amox was prescribed. I was upset & surprised that her ears were still red, after almost two weeks of an antibiotic. She didn't have a fever, wasn't tugging on her ears and they wanted to put her back on meds! I spoke to a relative who told me that her child had chronic ear infections until she stared bringing him to the chiropractor to avoid tubes. After thinking about it for awhile it made total sense. The spine being in proper alignment would result in normal nerve supply and ultimately normal function. Okay, so you want my 20months old who has ants in her pants to sit still and have her back adjusted? I forgot to mention the trips to our Dr always are very tearful & unpleasant and usually end with her sobbing into my chest. To my surprised it was a breeze at the chiro's. The Dr who treats my daughter is excellent with her. My husband & I were amazed. She showed her around the office (which has a total spa feel), let her play in the therapy room with the huge therapy balls all while adjusting her. After her 3rd treatment she lays on the "big girl table" & gets a "big girl adjustment." She loves every minute of it and just smiles away. "This is not my child," I say to myself, she doesn't let anyone touch her & can never lay still. When her treatment is finished she tries to get back on the table. It proves that it is making her feel good. We have also noticed an improvement with sleeping...that was an added bonus! Yesterday we had the greatly anticipated "well baby" visit tot eh medical dr. Keep in mind we didn't fill the prescription that was given to us 3 weeks prior but instead visited the chirorpactor twice a week for a total of six visits. After the Dr looked at her ears and I asked how they looked and the asnwer was-perfect! I let her know at that point that I didn't give her the medicine and she had been seeing a chiropractor. I felt so good that she had healthy little ears without giving her another 12 days of that pink stuff. Don't get me wrong it has a place, althought I think it's an easy out to stick them on meds for every little thing when there are clear alternatives. If anyone has a child suffering from ear infections I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Heidi Bencsik at the Pennridge Wellness Center. Her passion for helping others in genuine. She specializes in pregnant women and children in a beautiful office with pleasant staff. Thank you Dr. Heidi for helping our little girl."
