Imagine having a date set for
a surgical procedure and then,
like magic, the body heals it-
self and surgery is no longer
required. For Greg and LanessaHess and their son Garrett, it
wasnt magic; it was the bodys
own capacity for healing,
stimulated by the principles of
chiropractic care.
In the fall of 2009, when my
son was a year and a half, he
started having reoccurring ear
infectionsas many as six
in a ve month period, said
Lanessa. Our family doc-
tor recommended going to
an ENT specialist. It was de-
termined that Garrett wouldneed surgery to have tubes
placed in his ears.
The surgery date was just three
weeks away when Greg at-
tended a workplace luncheon
seminar offered by Chiroprac-
tic 1st. According to Lanessa,
Gregs interest was sparked
when he noticed the title of
one of the available pam-
phletsEar Infections.
He started talking to
Dr. Matt about Garretts
medical condition, Lan-
essa said. A day or two
later, we were in the of-
ce of Chiropractic 1st.
During our appointment,
I was impressed by how
knowledgeable they were
about Garretts condition,
and how they explained
everything.
In Garretts case, his
spine was slightly out of
alignment, possibly from
a 2009 fall from a swing
set. This caused the ver-tebra in his neck to mis-
align and pinch the nerves
that control the proper
function of his ears. At
Chiropractic 1st, the ex-
perienced staff facilitates
the bodys natural healing
processes through gentle
and effective spinal ad-
justments and modern
technology.
Because of the short time
frame, Garrett saw Dr. Matt
three or four times a weekduring a two week period,
said Lanessa. A week before
his scheduled surgery date,
we took him back to our fam-
ily doctor for his two year
check-up. After checking his
ears, the doctor said he had no
uid in one and very little in
the other.
With his ears healing, Greg
and Lanessa ended up cancel-
ing the surgery. The rst time
we went to the ENT special-
ist, Garrett failed his hearing
test because his ears were s
full of uid, explained Lan
essa. Three weeks after ou
canceled surgery date, we haanother ENT appointment
and he passed with ying col
ors. All because of chiroprac
tic care.
Now a happy and active four
year-old, Garrett no longe
suffers from ear infections.
would denitely recommen
exploring chiropractic car
if you have a health issue,
said Lanessa. You owe it to
yourselfand your healtht
look at all your options.
