Question
my 5 year old has had a runny nose basically all of her life and we have had tonsils and adenoids removed and had tubes put in 3 years ago.  That helped with the constant ear infections and strep throat but the nose still runs constantly.  My mom's chiropractor seems to think he can fix the problem by using atlas orthogonal.  Does this sound like something I should try?

Answer
YYESSSS!!!!  You should definitely get her over to this doctor if he or she is an upper cervical specialist than your child can improve dramatically.  I will tell you that she would have done much better if she still had ALL of her natural parts, with nothing removed and nothing added unto her, but she will still improve as much as she can with what she has.  It is in God's Hands how much she will improve and when, but certainly seeing an upper cervical chiropractor is the best thing that you could possibly do for her.  Please let me know how it goes in a few months or so, and also if you have any further questions that I could help you with.
All the best,
