KST A to Z

Thumb sucking

Jorge Silverio, DC

Burbank, California

The other day a patient asked how to get her almost three-year-old son to stop sucking his thumb. I suggested she let me check him to see if I could help.

I found cervical, panic, and habit patterns, among other things, and after two adjustments she said he is no longer sucking his thumb.
