Heather(6) & Sophie(7) M., Faversham, UK
"I'm very happy with the fact that my children
will stay healthy, drug-free, fit and well adjusted all their
life. It's very clear that permanent results do not happen
over night and things happen all the time to cause subluxation.They
are being raised without drugs, with great balanced nutrition,
good activity and a spine that's in line!
The girls are writing their own testimonial but I thought
I would write a few things from a parents perspective and
to give you the full stories, as children as young as Sophie
and Heather don't always remember exactly how they were before.
We
came to the Ideal Spine Centre as a family because of my problems,
but I very quickly realised the importance of good spinal health
care for everyone, especially the family. We had been involved
in a recent car accident in which the two girls and I were
in the car, so I decided to have them checked out. I was prepared
for a diagnosis of whiplash but I was not prepared for Dr Farthing's
findings on my eldest daughter. You have to realise, my girls
were very healthy. They had a good diet, lots of exercise and
they were, and are, very lovely children with no apparent health
problems. However there were a few minor things, that as
a parent, I never put down to their spine and nervous system.
One was bed wetting. Sophie, the eldest, bed wet
frequently and had to have a night time nappy up
to the age of five and half, despite being out of daytime
nappies by the age of two. Similarly, at the time we started
at the Ideal Spine Centre, Heather had to have a night time
nappy at the age of four and half, despite also being dry
by day from around two years of age. I actually put this
down to a behavioural problem and probably influenced by
my lack of knowledge of how to toilet train my children,
despite reading every child help book I could get my hands
on. I thought it was my fault. We had a night time routine
where I had to wake up Heather at around midnight and take
her to the toilet, but she still wet the bed by morning.
I could not understand it at all.
There were a few other things.
Sophie had frequent
ear infections and had several courses of antibiotics ,
was also struggling with her reading at school
and seemed to lack concentration . I thought it
was odd at the time because I was told in the past that
she had a very good concentration span, so much so that
she could count and add up in her head at the age of three.
Heather was also a bad sleeper .
Just like
he does with adults, Dr Farthing took a full history of the
girls including full details of their birth and what drugs
I had during pregnancy.he was very thorough and wanted
to understand everything - no stone was left unturned. Heather
seemed ok, with nothing major. However, she did suffer from
a whiplash injury in the car accident. As I had suspected,
Dr Farthing did discover subluxation in Heather's pelvic
area and upper spine. In fact, he found a similar subluxation
pattern in that region in both girls. The shocking and most
upsetting part was what Dr Farthing discovered with Sophie.
She actually had five subluxations and showed signs of birth
trauma in her spine. When Dr Farthing carefully showed me
her posture she was so wonky I could not believe I had not
seen it before. But thinking back, I had thought
she was just holding herself that way .
Starting adjustments at the Ideal Spine Centre was
where things started to change for both girls. In
fact, changes came quite fast within the first week. I
noticed the girls seemed calmer in their mood and
Heather was more settled at night. After constant
bed wetting every night for over two and half years Heather
suddenly stopped wetting the bed about six months into
her first year of spinal health care. I didn't actually
put the two together until six months later. What happened
in that time was Heather would be dry in the night for
about a month and then it would start again, then it stopped
for another couple of months and then started again. Therefore,
one day I had got to a point where I was tired and frustrated
and actually mentioned in passing to Dr Farthing. Right
there and then, he did this special adjustment on Heathers
hip area and that night and guess what. no bed
wetting! That was when I paid attention. This
is why it's so important to keep going with the adjustments.
It all started to make even more sense. Heather remained
dry for almost a year until on holiday last August when
she was kicked in the lower back by a frisky young horse.
That very night the bed wetting started again. But sure
enough, after a few adjustments at the Ideal Spine Centre,
it stopped again. We had a family joke with Heather - if
she wet the bed, we would have to get Dr Farthing to switch
it off again!
The remarkable thing about Sophie is she never
complained or said a word about how she felt. It was only
after her assessment with Dr Farthing that she told me
when she turned her neck from side to side that it hurt.
When she leant over her desk at school her back and neck
hurt. She then added that she always had a headache and
her ears hurt. This
was all news to me as she had never said a word! When I asked
her how long that had been going on and why didn't you tell
me, she said, she just thought it was normal as she had always
been that way . To say Sophie had some benefits
from having adjustments at the Ideal Spine Centre is quite
an understatement. Apart from the headaches disappearing
and her neck and back not hurting , Sophie has
not had one single ear infection in the last two
years. We started her care plan in the April 2004
and the biggest jump in Sophie's school work took place from
April to July that year. There was so much of an
improvement in Sophie's school report that it brought tears
to my eyes. It was so glowing about how
well she had done in every subject, and particularly, her
reading. Sophie's teacher even said in the report
and I quote "I am thrilled to bits with progress Sophie has
made, particularly since Easter!" To me that said everything.
I'm very glad to say both Sophie and Heather are
now on wellness care in which they now have adjustments
once a fortnight and I'm very happy with the fact
that my children will stay healthy, drug-free, fit and
well adjusted all their life. Visiting the Ideal
Spine Centre for wellness care is a permanent fixture for
the Mulvany family! It's very clear that permanent
results do not happen over night and things happen all
the time to cause subluxation. So for us it's
essential in combating life's little curve balls. The one
thing I wish for my children is to grow up as healthy and
fit as Dr Farthing! They are being raised without
drugs, with great balanced nutrition, good activity and
a spine that's in line!
Thanks for reading and I do hope this testimonial helps
you help a child you love, grow up healthy! Deborah
