After 10 rounds of antibiotics 💊 and three failed tube surgeries, Kyle's family knew they couldn’t keep going down the same path. His determined, resilient mom was on a mission to find a real, lasting solution.

Every time Kyle caught a cold, it inevitably turned into an ear infection. Between feeling unwell and frequent doctor visits, he was missing a significant amount of school and never truly felt like himself.

Additionally, Kyle often complained of stomach troubles. After meals, he would lie on the couch, in pain, unwilling to get up or do anything. 😞

With his twin sister already under care for emotional regulation challenges, Mom decided to take a leap of faith, hoping chiropractic care might help Kyle, even though his symptoms were different. 🙏

Mom shared, “I was surprised that Kyle’s scans were very similar to his sister's, even though their issues were different. I was happy to see that a lot of his stomach problems and ear infections could be connected.”

Fast forward a year: Kyle hasn’t had a single ear infection since starting chiropractic care—and hardly ever complains about stomach pain. 🎉

Mom says, “Kyle is active and healthy. No more worrying about tubes in his ears or frequent ENT visits. He’s doing well in school, loves playing sports, and is trying new foods. He’s only missed a few days of school this year compared to last year.”

Way to go, Kyle! 💥

Beautiful Harper has all of our hearts. ♥️ She loved Chuggington, water parks, and school bus rides. She brought all the necessary sass to her appointments and truly lived her best life 🤩. But looking back at Harper’s start in life, it had been a whirlwind of stress for her amazing family.

When Harper was born, she endured an agonizing 97-day stay in the NICU 🏥, followed by multiple surgeries and constant testing to figure out why she was struggling. They eventually received a diagnosis of dystonia for Harper, but she also faced seizures, extreme reflux, lack of head control, and hearing difficulties.

Mom said she felt helpless and was not listened to by her doctors. They experienced the exhaustion of having done and tried everything for her with multiple opinions, countless blood tests, MRIs, CTs, only to be put on more and more medications. 💊

True fighters from the start, Harper’s parents kept advocating for her care. When a friend told them about the PX Docs network, they took the leap, seeking answers that no one else had provided.

As Harper's Mom, Megan shared that after Harper’s very first adjustment, she started responding to sounds, and they couldn’t believe it! 🤯 As Harper continued to receive care, it helped her in so many ways: she no longer experienced reflux or GERD, she slept better, had improved head control, experienced fewer seizures, and they were able to cut her medications in half! 🙌🏼 She also had fewer spastic movements from the dystonia, so she could rest her body.

Chiropractic helped Harper adapt to life and stay calmer and connected. Mom said, “If it wasn’t for chiropractic, my girl wouldn’t have lived until the age of 7, and I am so thankful to have gotten 7 beautiful years with her.”
