Brocs visit's the chiropracter

Lately Broc has been complaining of lower backache but we haven't really thought much about it cause he is forever jumping off of something or landing with a thud and then he brushes it off.Anyway after our trip to see Dr E.this past weekend he did say that Broc's back,gait etc will start to be effected by LLD (leg length discrepancy) as he is walking in his toe with his right leg and rolling his left ankle to make his left leg shorter.

Mark and I went to see Dr K today for an adjustment and he asked how we have been doing so we filled him in on Broc's latest happenings.He suggested that he take a look at Broc just to make everything is in place.Now Broc has seen Dr K before but only minor things were found.

He lays Broc on the table and puts his legs together and then moves his feet apart and lets them come back well to our surprise his left leg was the shorter one. He looks at his hip,pelvis and lower back and realizes that his left hip is jammed and his pelvis is twisted.The poor guy has been compensating so much that he is causing himself harm.Once he adjusted him back to where he should be his right leg was the shorter one again.

We felt so bad as we had no idea that he was that out of whack.Now we know for next time when Broc starts to complain of backache he is in need of an adjustment.The plan is to take Broc once a month for an adjustment unless he is saying that he has backache and then we will take him then.

  1. I'm happy you're seeing a chiropractor. Let's hope he can do the adjusting and that Broc will start feeling much better soon.
    Much love from us
