KST A to Z

Fussy baby

Tammy Karp, DC

Marquette, Michigan

My sister was over the other night with her nine-week-old baby. She could not get her to settle down, even after being fed, changed, rocked etc. I finally tried to check her my 'usual way' by palpating, but she was screaming and flailing so much I couldn't figure anything out.

Finally, my sister sat and nursed her to quiet her down and I checked with KST using my sister as the surrogate. Found L5 rotated spinous right. When I even touched that area, she flinched and whined.

I adjusted it with the arthrostim, and she settled down instantly! She went right to sleep and slept 5 hours (usually only sleeps 2-3 hours at a time). Same thing happened the next night, and after adjusting two segments, she slept 5 hours, nursed, then slept another 5 hours!
