Read more from Mandi » I knew that this could not be the best solution and it was only masking the problem. I began seeing a chiropractor before she was born and was adjusted throughout my pregnancy. I started seeing Dr. Saylor, and after talking to her about my daughter’s stomach issues, she suggested that I bring her in. I figured what did we have to lose and it wasn’t going to hurt her any. My only regret was not bringing her in sooner!! From the first adjustment on, my child who would scream and cry anytime she had to go to the bathroom was no longer in pain. My daughter will be 7 soon, and since she started seeing Dr. Saylor, she no longer struggles with her stomach issues. She tells me now when she thinks it’s time to go in for an adjustment and when we go together, she always insists on going first. She loves going to Van Every Family Chiropractic Center, and I as a parent love taking her there!
