KST A to Z
Reflux in 7-month-old
Stephen Wheeler, DC
Elizabethton, Tennessee
A seven-month-old infant girl was suffering with "reflux". She was especially uncomfortable in the evenings, spitting up a moderate volume of feedings. Medication was prescribed but not utilized yet.
Based on my previous experience I would have assumed C1 was subluxated, but the OD sent me to C3 and the left lower sternal border. After the adjustment, the child gave us a smile a foot wide and has not experienced any more reflux "retro-spurts."
