KST A to Z

Head on collision – 93-Year-Old

John Foley, DC

Bellmawr, New Jersey

My mother is 93 years old and has been under chiropractic care since her mid 20's; she was my initial inspiration in choosing a career in chiropractic. About four years ago she was in a serious head-on collision with physical and emotional trauma to the brain, spine, extremities and ribs/lungs. In my early days of KST, I completely relied on the OD and she had a complete recovery in a few months.

Today she had a fall with no apparent injuries but became confused and disoriented. I checked her and found the sphenoid pattern. I adjusted her sphenoid and occiput only. Within a few minutes, she completely changed - the spring was back in her step, and she started talking clearly about subjects of interest.

Her health is fairly good; she takes no medicine. My hope is that when her time comes her candle will gently flicker and calmly go out.
