Severe Torticollis
I first brought my two-month-old son Noah to see Dr. Melendez after my son was diagnosed with Congenital Torticollis. Since birth, Noah’s head was stuck to the right and he couldn’t hold it upright. My
pediatrician wanted me to see a physical therapist who said it would
take a year of treatment to fix, with maybe 50% improvement, and no
guarantees. That news was very troubling for new parents to hear. At
the advice of our good friends, Mark and Desiree Stansell who are long
time patients of Dr. Melendez, I opted to bring Noah straight over to
see if his pediatric style of chiropractic could help. Dr.
David examined Noah and found a severe atlas subluxation, which he
explained probably occurred during the birth process consisting of a
difficult c-section of a 9-pound boy. After Noah’s first adjustment,
we could see a dramatic difference in. him. Noah could hold his head straight for the first time since he was born!
Noah is now a normal, thriving, healthy, and happy toddler. We cannot thank everyone at Gold Coast Chiropractic enough! Thank you, Mark, Shana & Noah Bedney
