Success Stories

My 3 yr. old son was suffering from ear infections and was quite misaligned, likely from falling from some climbing apparatus. he was struggling to carry things, shrugging his shoulders often, and flinching upon any touch to his neck. 
After the first few visits to Dr. Ramer, my son told me he wanted to see her every day.  He quickly recognized and was able to communicate how she was helping to make him feel better and now tells me he is feeling much better and his neck and back do not hurt anymore (9 visits). 
Dr. Ramer made friends with him easily and he enjoys talking with her, which makes it all the easier and more successful.  He even does the stretches that she showed him how to do (sometimes) and regularly requests putting heat in his neck while napping and at bedtime.
He now carries his heavier toys without complaint and is 70% more physically active and willing to try new physical activities than he would just 5 weeks ago!  I am very happy with the results and so is my son.  I highly recommend Dr. Ramer!

Chiropractic uses a very conservative approach to your kid's health.  Drugs and surgery are avoided in favor of regenerating the body's energy and directing it towards healing by correcting misalignments and resolving the nervous system dysfunctions arising from these misalignments.  Dr. Ramer goes beyond the back to address injuries, pain, and disorders in the neck, shoulders, elbows, writs, knees, and feet as well as headaches.  This ensures that the nervous system and the whole body are working at their optimum level.  A broad range of cutting-edge therapies are used by Dr. Ramer to support these corrections.    

Alleviation of symptoms is of paramount importance in the inital stages of healing, but then Dr. Ramer quickly shifts the focus to getting to the root cause of a health problem.  Our spine houses the very important spinal cord, whose function is to send messages to and for from the brain.  A misalignment can interrupt the flow of these messages, resulting in dysfunction or malfunction and an imbalance.  Since Chiropractic uses no drugs and emphasizes prevention, it is the first line of defense in helping infants, children, and teenagers to achieve their optimum level of functioning.  Once normal function is established, Dr. Ramer believes strongly in preventive care for the future.

A growing child's physiology and anatomy demand different techniques than the ones used for adults.  The spine grows almost 50% in length during the first year of a child's life.  This is equivalent to a six-footer growing to nine feet in one year!  This kind of rapid growth brings with it development changes, but also may be associated with growing pains, poor posture, and other conditions which are commonly treated by Dr. Ramer.

 There are many other common conditions that parents bring thei children to a chiropractor for.  A 1992 survey showed that earaches, neck pain, check-up, headache, upper respiratory, low back pain, allergies, asthma, enuresis, and thoracic pain were among the most common. In addition, ADD and ADHD, colic, torticollis, insomnia, growing pains, and persistent crying in infants also ranked high.

By taking care of the damage that day-to-day falls and other traumas can cause a growing body and by maintaining the spine in alignment as well as maintaining correct posture through Dr. Ramer's highly specialized posture correction program, you can help  raise a child to be structurally and functionally sound.
