It's not often that we are able to quantify and measure health benefits, but I've been able to measure an improvement in my health and my 5 month old son's.

Due to unknown circumstance, my body has been unable to produce enough breastmilk to wholly support my son.  We'd been supplementing with formula at about a 50/50 ratio.  After being involved in a rear end collsion and undergoing regular chiropractic adjustments for my neck and upper back, I had an unexpected additional benefit to the decrease in pain from my whiplash injury... my breastmilk production increased by apprximately 15%!  I know this because my son does not nurse from me at all.   I use an electric breast pump and put the milk in a bottle for him. Every drop of this "liquid gold" is measured and accounted for.

My son also underwent his first chirpactic adjustment.  He had developed a routine of having a bowel movement sometimes every other day.  Since his adjustment, he's had at least 2 everyday. Although the increase in diaper changing isn't enjoyable, I know his digestion must be working better.  Added nutrition from the increase in breastmilk combined with his digestive system working better means he is getting additional health benefits.
