    Patient Experience

    "Mom was induced at 37 weeks for high blood pressure when pregnant with the patient and the patient was born vaginally with epidural. Patient spent 6 hours in the NICU for breathing regulation. Nipple shield needed to be used for feeding initially and he was not gaining weight quickly. He is now fed formula. Mom said that he had sleeping and digestive issues since birth and would not lay on his back since birth. And at 2 months sought out care for Chiropractic care and First steps Physical Therapy. First Steps Physical Therapy started after 6 visits of Chiropractic care alone. After 2 visits of Chiropractic care Mom noticed improvements in looking left, sleeping, gassiness and feeding.
