Seven-year old Vayda had her adenoids removed last Wednesday and began to have complications with her neck on Friday. For the past 2 1/2 days her head has had a left lateral bend and she says she can’t move it to straighten it. More of a torticollis presentation. Her doctor called it Grisel’s syndrome due to the adenoid removal. I am seeing this little girl soon but she has never had chiro care. She is on steroids for three days. Any suggestions on this?

My nephew has had a lot of allergy like symptoms most of his life. He just had allergy testing that included 70 skin pokes on his back. The only positive poke was dust. He has never been vaccinated, uses majority of natural products and eats organic as much as they can. Mold has been searched for in the house and my sister has been cleaning a ton to get rid of dust. They live in FL so I don’t have the ability to adjust him. He is going to a chiropractor weekly. They are suggesting immunotherapy or vaccinate him which they argue will boost his immune system (eye-roll). He is starting to take 1 tablespoon of glycine daily, a spore based probiotic, vitamin D, omegas and a magnesium. He also does not have a deviated septum. What would you suggest?
