I took Elizabeth in to a chiropractor to get her alignment checked.
It was just a routine check recommended by her Grandi Mac, because if
there are any problems, they are a lot easier to fix when they’re
this young.

I found a chiropractor who was recommended by a friend and it turns
out that kids 12 and under are free. The chiropractor was really
great with Elizabeth, but Elizabeth was a little skeptical of the
whole situation. I think she became a bit wary when she almost got
clocked by the door when the doctor entered the room. The doctor had
to pull out all the tricks to get Elizabeth to cooperate. It looked
to me that Elizabeth got a good back rub out of the deal.

I’m very glad I took her in because she did need some work on her
lower back. The doctor used a spring loaded thumper (https://
www.chirocity.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2613) and
tapped her lower back into alignment. She checked to see if
Elizabeth’s legs were the same length and also checked to see if her
lower back was curved to the left or right. Apparently, there is a
very simple check for this. She pulled the top of Elizabeth’s diaper
down to reveal the top of her butt crack. Next she squeezed her
little cheeks together . If it makes a straight line, her back is
fine, but if it curves either to the left or right, her back is
curved. Who knew?
