Chiropractor visit with E's favorite doctor, Dr. Katie

i started going to dr. katie this past august because i was having really bad lower back pain while i was pregnant with oliver. there were times when i could not even get up my back hurt so much. after about a month or so after seeing dr. katie, i felt HUGE improvements. she really helped me get through my pregnancy with weekly visits and stretches at home. since then i have been a big believer in chiropractors. after oliver was born, dr. katie offered me a free baby adjustment for him which basically was a little exam to see what parts of his spine were misaligned due to delivery and her using her fingers to do pressure points to align him. emmett was just getting over bronchitis at this point and i know that getting aligned can help with illnesses, so i brought him in for an exam too. emmett had quite a few areas that were misaligned. one leg even looked longer than the other because of the misalignment! so i had both boys get 3 adjustments in the same week and now i plan to take them twice a year for spine adjustments. dr. katie is the only doctor that emmett likes. he lays down on the chiropractic table to get adjusted, no problem and he's excited to go there. probably because it makes him feel good. he went with me to basically every weekly appointment while i was pregnant, so he is very used to the place. but i can tell he really enjoys getting adjusted. emmett has recently learned how to jump and i wonder if it had something to do with getting adjustments... who know's.. either way, i am a big advocate for kids and adults to get adjusted.

here are pics of emmett waiting for his exam results. he was showing off how he can make bridges with his body and he was playing around with a baby doll in the room and he put it through the skeltons pelvis, like in a delivery!!
