At Radiant Waves Chiropractic, we witness incredible transformations every day. Today, we want to share a story of hope and inspiration from one of our amazing families.
Meet Tanner:
Tanner, a vibrant two-year-old, was diagnosed with reactive airways after contracting RSV at just six months old. This left his parents in constant fear, as every cold seemed to turn into a terrifying ordeal. "We were living in constant fear of him being sick," his mom shared.
The Struggles:
Tanner's colds would often lead to reactive breathing, requiring multiple oral and inhalant steroids, and frequently, a hospital stay. "It was extremely frustrating and overwhelming to get him in at multiple doctors, specialists, and at the hospital," his mom recalled. "We were being put on protocols consisting of so many medications, and it was scary pumping that into my tiny little guy."
The Journey:
The family tried various approaches, including pharmaceutical medications, salt suites, other chiropractors, and homeopathic remedies. However, they felt something was missing.
The Turning Point:
Then, they came to Radiant Waves Chiropractic. "I knew we had our work cut out for us, but I was relieved to see there was change that needed to happen and hopeful we could take the path to get there," his mom shared.
Tanner was born via C-section which put a lot of stress on the parts of his nervous system responsible for his immune function and additionally caused dysregulation that often led to meltdowns and tantrums. When we saw his INSiGHT Neurological Scans it became clear what we needed to do to correct this dysfunction and help him thrive!
The Results:
The changes were remarkable. "I realized chiropractic care was working when he got his first cold after starting care and he didn't respond by needing days of steroids and he didn't have to go to the hospital," his mom explained. "He also was contracting colds way less than before."
A Brighter Future:
Today, Tanner is a thriving two-year-old. He attends Sunday school without tantrums or meltdowns, enjoys extracurricular activities, and has an older brother in school. "He will get colds, but they are reduced in length by days, and he can often get through them with some extra adjustments and an increase in vitamin supplements," his mom shared. "His breathing is normal, he has no lingering cough, and he is healthy!"
A Message of Hope:
To parents on the fence about starting chiropractic care for their children, Tanner's mom has this message: "Do not hesitate, jump right in, and trust the process. Dr. Lucas and Dr. Jodi have changed our lives, and we will be forever thankful. The entire office is supportive and so kind when navigating an uncharted territory. I felt I was given multiple and extensive explanations of his progress and his standings in his care plan, and with consistency, he truly has never been better!"
