Upper Cervical in a baby cures constipation

My little guy Joe is 7 months old. I have always been very proud that me, my husband and my oldest son have been great poopers :) Joe has been stopped up for several days now. I read that a lot of babies are out of alignment from descending down the birth canal. So I had Dr. Jeffrey Jensen take a look at Joe. Sure enough he was out of alignment. Dr. Jensen aligned Joe and not even 24 hours later Joe had an excellent poo! By the way if anyone is wondering if giving a baby an upper cervical adjustment is scary, don't worry. It is super gentle and Joe was smiling at Dr. Jensen the whole time :) I know a lot of mom's out there have children that are constipated. So it is definitely worth taking a child in to see a Blair Chiropractor that focuses on Upper Cervical Specific. Children, especially infants hold their adjustments for a very long time, I am talking months. And most Chiropractors will do a wellness check for free. If you are looking for a Chiropractor in Riverton, Utah look now further, Dr. Jensen is AWESOME!

Upper Cervical Chiropractor Dr. Jensen helped me Breathe!

I do not have asthma, nor do I have severe allergies. I have always been able to breathe fine. But the day after I was adjusted I woke up and I thought to myself... I feel like I can breathe amazingly well. It's crazy cool. I have never felt this way. It is almost like I am top of a beautiful mountain and the air coming in to my lungs is crisp and clean. It is an awesome feeling!

I do have a bad headache and my right foot kind hurts to walk on without shoes. Dr. Jensen said when you get adjusted for the first time you can be sore and there are 3 categories that people fall into:
1. They feel an immediate change for the better
2. They feel nothing
3. They feel worse

Your body goes through so much throughout the years. Mine in particular has been through a lot. So I know getting my central nervous system back into alignment is going to take some discomfort to get it to it's prime functioning capabilities.

What is so uncomfortable and cool at the same time is my foot and head hurt, but I have so much energy and I can breathe better! I know before I was adjusted my right leg was almost 1.5 inches shorter than my left. Now that I am balanced it's going to take a little bit for right leg to figure out how to walk properly again.

This is a little uncomfortable, but totally worth it!

12 Weeks to a healthier me...My Upper Cervical Experience



I am going to document my Upper Cervical Chiropractic experience here. Over the past 5 months I have been doing research into Upper Cervical Chiropractic. I have been through a lot this past year and I just feel like my body is out of whack. I have had gallbladder issues and suffered depression from my son dying. I eat healthy and excercise, but my immune system just does not feel like it is working at it's full potential. I was researching ways to boost my immune system and stumble across Upper Cervical Chiropractic. I was sad to find out there was only a couple in my city and they were really expensive. Then one day I was driving home and notice a sign go up in a local business park. It said Balanced Chiropractic. I called Riverton City to see if I could get a number to the location. They gaveme the info:

2464 W 12600 S, Suite #110
Riverton, UT 84065
Telephone: 801-477-7222

When I called and spoke to the receptionist Amy, the first thing I asked was if the doctor performs upper cervical treatment. She said yes and my chin almost hit the floor! Plus their prices are awesome. It is only $45 a visit.

I signed my husband and I up and we were in there 2 days later. Dr. Jensen is honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He is super friendly and you can tell he cares about his patients. He took x-rays and explained the process of being adjusted. I figured my top 2 vertebrae would be out of alignment for several different reasons. Mainly from stress and the fact that I took a bad fall a few years ago.

Dr. Jensen practices the blair method. This is a great technique and not scary at all. There is really no pain involved at all. The first time I was adjusted I immediately felt a warm feeling behind my right ear. It felt like a channel had been unblocked. It felt so nice and I could tell right away that this was going to make a difference. I was then guided to sit in an awesome anti-gravity chair and relax for 20 minutes to help my neck settle into place. Dr. Jensen's office also has super comfy blankets and it was a great time for me to just fall asleep.

After I stood up I felt like I shouldn't move my neck. My husband thought I was a little silly :) I was walking around like Mr. Finch from Point of Interest :) but shortly there after I acted normal again. I just kept thinking in the back of my mind that I want to keep these top 2 vertebrae in alignment :)

I'll post how I feel tomorrow!
