When my son was 6 months old I started taking him to Dr. Creech in the hopes of helping with recurring ear infections. Dr. Creech was one of the only pediatric certified chiropractors in the area. While a chiropractor doesn't have to be certified to adjust children it was very important to me that whoever we went to had the certification. To me, it demonstrates a willingness to go the extra mile to receive specialized training which was reassuring to me as a parent. My son also had extreme reflux since birth. After just a few visits we (and daycare) noticed a dramatic improvement in his reflux and soon after we were able to stop the prescription medication he was on to control it. It was remarkable. I continue to take my son once a month for an adjustment (he's now 2 1/2 yrs old). While I can't prove it, I do feel like the adjustments help keep him healthy. Please note, the adjustments for babies and toddlers are gentle adjustments. They are not the same type an adult would receive.

While I regularly took my son I never took myself until I was pregnant with my. When pregnant with my daughter I stated having upper back pain. It was so bad I knew I couldn't last the rest of my pregnancy with it so I made an appointment for myself. Thankfully my pain was erased. In addition to helping my back pain, the adjustments helped to get baby in the optimal position for birth. Dr. Creech is certified in the Webster Technique. When it was time for my daughter to make her entrance, labor was fast (4 hours start to finish, only 40 minutes of which was in the hospital). While part of that was probably due to it being by second child, I believe it was also largely due to the adjustments helping baby into the best position. Four weeks after delivery I was back to Dr. Creech and I took my daughter as well. My son (currently 2 1/2 yrs old), my daughter (currently 7 weeks old) and myself (no need to disclose my age ;-) ) are all happy, continuing patients.
