Stuttering
Expect a miracle. Kendzior AT, Sarasota,
FL. Int’l Chiropractic Pediatric Assn. Newsletter Jan/Feb
1998.
“My son took a serious fall as a baby and immediately
stopped having bowel movements. After months, I was told
that we might need to do an exploratory surgery to determine
if there was a blockage. I had been trying to adjust him,
but wasn’t sure what I was feeling.
[The chiropractor]
adjusted him and taught me how to locate subluxations in a
baby’s lumbar spine. It was miraculous,
the next day he started having normal bowel movements.
This
same child started severely stuttering at the age of 2. This
was correlated to his fall. Finally, I attended another course
with Dr. Webster who shared with me the Webster Cranial Technique.
He assured me that it had helped children with stuttered speech,
epilepsy, and learning disabilities. He advised me that before
my son got better he might appear worse, but within two weeks
he would stop stuttering completely. Sure enough, two weeks
to the day that I started adjusting him, he stopped stuttering.
This was a child who previously repeated a word twenty times
and then, frustrated, gave up.”
Stuttering, hyperactivity,
slow learner, retarded growth. Case study. Webster, L. Chiropractic
Showcase Magazine, Vol. 2, Issue 5, Summer 1994.
This 7 years
old male child was placed under care on February 14, 1994 with
the following clinical picture: Hyperactivity, stuttering,
slow learner, retarded growth, left leg approximately 1” shorter
than right with a limp while walking. Medical plans were to
break the left leg, insert metal rods in an attempt to stimulate
growth and equalize leg lengths.
Our examination consisted of
Metrecom evaluation, full spine X-rays, and chiropractic examination
of the spine. Areas of subluxation were as follows: sacrum
anterior, inferior on left, 5th lumbar body left, atlas, anterior
superior left.
Patient was placed on an intensive correction
program of 3 times weekly for a period of two months.
During
the first seven visits the legs were never balanced, however,
each time a reduction of the leg imbalance occurred. On the
8th visit the legs balanced for the first time. Also noticed
by 8th visit:
1. The stuttering had stopped.
2. The grades in school had risen
from non-satisfactory to satisfactory.
3. The hyperactivity
had abated.
4. The limp was no longer constant.
