Story of Hope for Ethan

Challenge: Picky Eating

Ethan’s mom was the first person in their family to start chiropractic care at Crossroads Chiropractic. She started with us for mid and low back pain. When she learned of the benefits that chiropractic care could have on her children, she got dad on board, and got both her of boys under care.

When Ethan started care, his mom stated that he was extremely hyper and was still having significant temper tantrums at the age of 4. One other big symptom his mom relayed to us was that he had always been a very picky eater. He was sensitive to many different food textures and it was extremely difficult for his family get him to eat much of anything that is healthy. If they would put a food on his plate that he didn’t want, he would either completely refuse to try it or he would attempt to eat the new food, gag, and throw it all up. It really puzzled his parents because his older brother was very calm and a fantastic eater!

After starting care with at Crossroads Chiropractic, Ethan’s eating habits started to change slowly, but with continued time and repetition he has started gaining confidence and eating a wide variety of foods! Currently, if Ethan has food at his plate that he doesn’t like, he is willing to try it! This includes meat and vegetables! Mom and dad are excited about the changes! It has made meal time much less stressful and it makes her feel better that he is eating more nutritious foods. Ethan has also seen significant progress when it comes to his temper. When he is faced with change, he is much better at handling it without reaching the point of a full blown melt down.

Mom is so excited for the progress she has seen in her youngest son! She knows that challenges and stresses are not going to go away as her boys get bigger. She is excited to keep the entire family maintaining health with continued chiropractic care!
