Mother brought in her 3-year-old boy because he had not pooped in 10 days, a recurring problem for the past year. Pediatrician said there was nothing physically wrong and prescribed laxatives, which the mother did not want to continue.

She states the constipation started around when he witnessed her emotionally break down when his little brother locked himself in the bathroom and the fire department was called.

On the first visit, I adjusted OD findings and did visceral manipulation. On the next visit I adjusted according to OD findings, then for emotional worry for his mother, and adjusted the mother while holding him to clear her emotional burdens toward him.

After the last adjustment, he has gone poop every day!
