Read how this momma feels like she finally ‘has her son back!’ 🥹
“Henri was struggling with a variety of concerns including severe full body eczema, emotional dysregulation, difficulty with transitions, verbal mimicking, and self-inflicted hitting, biting, head banging, and gagging. These challenges made it incredibly difficult to navigate everyday tasks, let alone have him attend and engage in school.
My husband and I felt helpless and overwhelmed with how best to support Henri. At first, hearing about his increased challenges at school, we felt largely to blame.
Henri was evaluated by Early Intervention and received observations at school by a social worker, yet we were left without any recommendations on how to better support him and these challenges.
I finally felt validation and relief when first seeing Henri’s scans. They mirrored my own, showing a “gas pedal” response. This was when I experienced a shift in feeling like I had answers for these concerns, a way to address them, AND a team to help! To put it simply, I felt hope.
We realized chiropractic was working for us when we started to hear from Henri’s teachers that they noticed significant improvements in his behavior at school. When asked how his day went, it shifted to “he actually had a great day!” We had noticed similar significant changes at home and got to see more of the sweet, goofy, joyful Henri!
There has been an absence of any of the hitting, biting, head banging, and gagging behaviors since being adjusted consistently for a few months.
Today, Henri is a healthy, happy, growing, almost three-year-old boy who asks to go to the chiropractor! He loves school, learning, and socializing, and has developed meaningful relationships with his teachers and peers alike. Since calming down his CNS, we have been able to witness his speech progress significantly, he is better able to manage transitions, express strong emotions, self-soothe, and even see more of his empathic side come out in helping his peers cope. Overall, we feel like we have our son back! “ ❤️
