Babies & Kids
“When your child is sick, as a parent you feel helpless. You just wish that you could take that illness from them so they can run around and play; as a child should.”
“When your child is sick, as a parent you feel helpless. You just wish that you could take that illness from them so they can run around and play; as a child should. That was our world for the first three years of our son’s life. It was a constant cycle of weeks battling a single ear infection. We tried one antibiotic after another with no relief and he ultimately ended up with surgical intervention in hopes to help. Our son barely had one healthy month before his ear infection came back after his surgery. Without any relief from his ear infections, his body and immune system spiraled out of control. We sought help from a variety of specialists such as pediatric Allergists, Immunologists, and Otolaryngologists. The only answer we received from all of the specialists was “he will grow out of it.” We were instructed to keep giving him a series of antibiotics and they said eventually his anatomy would change and the ear infections would stop coming.
What parent can just sit back and wait possibly YEARS for their child to be healthy? To wait years to be able to enjoy play dates, go to school, go to family functions, and to sleep through the night without waking up coughing until he throws up? My husband and I could not just sit back and wait for the unknown. This was the point where I started researching alternative treatments for ear infections and immunodeficiency. It was easy to see based on research and on testimonials that we needed to give chiropractic care a shot.
My next battle was finding a chiropractor that my son would let near him. He had been so traumatized by clinicians holding him down to look in his ears and being poked and prodded for testing that he would not let anyone near his ears, head or neck. I heard about River Shores Chiropractic from a family friend and woman in my mom’s group. They absolutely raved about RSC. I am so extremely happy a mom mentioned RSC because they have CHANGED OUR LIVES.
Bentley was a little hesitant when we first started care but now he cannot wait to go to the Chiropractor! Every single person at River Shores is amazing with kids. I am sure they could handle ANYONE. Now we even use the visiting the chiropractor as a bribe: “Sleep good tonight and you can go see Dr. Andrea and Dr. Kari in the morning!”
Not only does he enjoy going to the chiropractor, but we have also had such phenomenal success. The amount that he gets sick is dramatically less and when he does get sick it takes a fraction of the time that it used to, to get healthy. We have even heard comments from family and friends, “Wow this is the longest we have seen him healthy!” “Bentley’s not sick!”
I can never thank River Shores Chiropractic enough for giving my son back his childhood; a childhood that he can act like a child should. Not stuck at home sick, but out making friends, going to school, enjoying parties and holidays. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!”

Pediatric Development
“By 3 WEEKS we could see a difference in Charlotte. She was walking more straight, she wasn’t falling every time she stood up, her spirits were much happier...”
“Oh where to begin! Our sweet little Charlotte was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis at just 9 months old. It is an inflammation in her spinal cord that temporarily paralyzed her from the waist down. Charlotte stayed at children’s hospital for a week undergoing MRI’s, steroids, blood work upon blood work and endless tests trying to discover the cause and unfortunately came up with nothing. We will never know what caused this horrible disease, but we do know that the progress she has made is a miracle.
Charlotte has permanent nerve damage that we will not know the extent of until she gets older. Her walk is unbalanced and her feet cave in making it difficult to walk. Her balance was so off she would fall nonstop every day. Her physical therapist recommended we see a chiropractor when her therapy visits seemed to be at a standstill. We made the appointment and honestly I thought, great, just another doctor who won’t have answers and won’t be able to help our sweet Charlotte. Boy was I wrong. By 3 WEEKS we could see a difference in Charlotte. She was walking more straight, she wasn’t falling every time she stood up, her spirits were much happier, her diapers were more full. The two year old she is now, is way different than before we came to River Shores.
She hugs the chiropractors now, she doesn’t scream from fear of another doctor poking and bothering her, she’s walking better and she’s smiling all the time. The work these ladies have done for our daughter and our family is beyond words. We were worried it wouldn’t work, but if I would have known where Charlotte would be now I would have brought her much sooner. River Shores is not just a chiropractic office to us; these amazing women have become angels for our daughter. Our love and gratitude for them could not be stronger. Everyone is so kind and gentle with our daughter and we absolutely love and adore this office!”

High Functioning Autism
ADHD and High Functioning Autism
“...we have seen such positive changes in her. She is focusing much better in school, her anxiety has improved and she has become much more responsible.”
“Our main concern for my daughter before coming to River Shores Chiropractic was focus. My daughter was having a hard time focusing both at school and at home. She needed extra help organizing her school studies and she was struggling with time management.
In addition, she was having a difficult time setting and hitting deadlines to complete tasks. Setting a deadline would make her feel overwhelmed and anxious. She would also get sick quite often and was having a hard time sleeping.
Since starting care at River Shores Chiropractic, we have seen such positive changes in her. She is focusing much better in school, her anxiety has improved and she has become much more responsible.
She now understands the importance of setting deadlines and goals. Her sleep has improved, her anxiety has subsided and she is much healthier! She does not get sick as often and she is feeling fantastic.
Every single person in the office genuinely cares for our family. They are always kind, caring and flexible to our schedule. Being around these incredible women in such a relaxing environment is one of the best parts of our week!
We are also very thankful for the amount of support and knowledge River Shores Chiropractic has offered our family. They are fantastic at providing us with education on healthier, natural alternatives and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
—Brooklyn’s parent
“After a month of care Andrew was and continues to be ear infection FREE! He is a happy, healthy little boy!”
“Andrew has always struggled with chronic ear infections. Every time he would get sick or have an allergy flare up it was followed by an ear infection. We were advised to have Andrew’s tonsils and adenoids removed as well as ear tube placement, so we did as we were told and yet our son’s chronic ear infections continued. Chiropractic was our last resort.
After a month of care Andrew was and continues to be ear infection FREE! He is a happy, healthy little boy! His doctor at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin told us to continue with Andrew’s care here at River Shores. We are thankful and our child is proof that Chiropractic Care works!”
—Andrew’s mom and dad
“...I have noticed that I am able to focus more effectively, control my emotions better and get things done in a timely manner.”
“I have always had a hard time focusing. This impacted my school work, education, and home life. When my parents would ask me to do something, I didn’t have any ambition or wasn’t willing to complete what they asked of me. In addition, I was having a difficult time controlling my emotions. I would get overly emotional or angry at things that I shouldn’t have gotten upset over. My Mom was the one that came to me and suggested starting care at River Shores Chiropractic. I had no hesitation that this was the best thing for me because our family has heard many people talk about the benefits of chiropractic care. Since starting care here at River Shores Chiropractic I have noticed that I am able to focus more effectively, control my emotions better and get things done in a timely manner. I feel much better about myself and am taking initiative to get things done. Since I have already seen such amazing results, I have encouraged the rest of my family to start care and I am excited to see the improvements that are in store for all of us as a family!”

Anxiety and ADHD
“I have seen tremendous changes in both my girls and my personal stress levels.”
“I don’t know where we would be without the help and guidance from such great staff and Doctors. Keep up the great work! Our family goes to River Shores Chiropractic and we can’t say enough great things about them. I love when we walk in the door and are greeted by name immediately along with being placed in my girls favorite room (with all the toys) in a reasonable amount of time. What really impresses me is that Dr. Andrea and Dr. Krysti go above and beyond to help me understand what is going on with both daughters along with my own personal body/health.
My youngest daughter deals with Sensory Processing Disorder and they were able to reassure me that they could assist with her diagnosis. After being seen by River Shores, I can honestly say that I was a bit skeptical at first and now I believe 100% in chiropractic care, especially at a young age. I have seen tremendous changes in both my girls and my personal stress levels.”
—Autumn’s mom
“Before his chiropractic treatment, he was very withdrawn....After the first few weeks of adjustments, we noticed a positive change.”
Our son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in April 2015, and we began our visits with Dr. Krysti and Dr. Andrea the following month. Before his chiropractic treatment, he was very withdrawn. He is nonverbal, and did not exhibit any social skills, provided very little eye contact, had a great deal of sensory meltdowns, and had extreme challenges participating appropriately both in a school setting and in the community.
After the first few weeks of adjustments, we noticed a positive change. He had increased engagement and interaction with family members, and became very affectionate. He began to make eye contact with others and his sensory meltdowns diminished.
Skip ahead one full year, and he is a completely different child. He is highly engaged with all of his family members, provides great eye contact, follows directions, and has very little problem behavior at school and on outings in the community. He has a great sense of humor, plays well with his sister and cousins, and has taken more interest in engaging with his peers. His chiropractic care has dramatically improved his quality of life and our family is so grateful for the exceptional Doctors and staff at River Shores.
—Sayner’s parent
“After only a few adjustments her reflux was gone and she seemed more comfortable with participating in tummy time since her torticollis improved.”
“My birthing experience with my daughter was traumatic. My daughter was a preemie born six weeks early and we experienced complications during labor. When Claire was born she only weighed four pounds. We struggled for a while getting her to gain weight and grow.
Our main concern for bringing her to River Shores Chiropractic was her reflux issues. It was very difficult for her to eat which wasn’t helping her gain weight. She also seemed uncomfortable and did not do well with tummy time.
We heard about RSC from a friend who had recommended the office. After coming to River Shores we realized that Claire also had torticollis, which was why she seemed uncomfortable. After only a few adjustments her reflux was gone and she seemed more comfortable with participating in tummy time since her torticollis improved.
As first-time parents, River Shores Chiropractic has been amazing. Not only has it helped my daughter tremendously but it has also given us first-time parent’s peace of mind. We look forward to every appointment and know that if we have any problems or questions they are always there for reassurance.”
—Claire’s mom
“Gavin has had some amazing changes over the last several months! Starting with how he deals with his frustrations and overall emotional regulation.”
”Gavin has had some amazing changes over the last several months! Starting with how he deals with his frustrations and overall emotional regulation. He is able to be redirected more easily and his attention span/ability to concentrate has improved. Gavin started middle school this year and as someone who struggled with transitions and large changes, you can imagine how nervous, we are parents were, but he is doing so well! He loves coming to River Shores and his only complaint is that he wishes his adjustments would last even longer because he enjoys them so much!”
—Gavin’s parents
“He is a happy and healthy kid who eats and sleeps very well.”
“We have great news! Brayden went to his regular pediatrician yesterday morning and she said his ears look great with no fluid or infection. We would like to thank River Shores Chiropractic for their continued care of our son. We were told that he was going to need tubes due to the fluid in his ears and his constant ear infections. With increased adjustments this was resolved without the need for surgery, which we are so grateful for. He is a happy and healthy kid who eats and sleeps very well. We are very thankful for the attention, advice, and care provided at River Shores Chiropractic for our son. He loves Dr. Andrea and is all smiles when we walk through the door for his appointments.”
—Brayden’s dad
“I would go to the ends of the earth to help her feel better but as it turns out I only needed to go to West Bend.”
“Dr. Krysti I have to tell you about this small success this morning.
Typical Katelyn on Thursday morning is maxed out stressed — will attempt to get dressed and remove her clothes because they feel wrong at least three times. Often times she’s pulled her hair out of the updo that I’ve created because it feels “wonky” and she will cry because she hates the way she was feeling. We would rush out the door (causing more stress because I’m in panic mode because we are now late) and when we arrive at school Katelyn jumps out of the car in complete irritable mood and I leave mentally and emotionally exhausted.
We’ve seen you three times…. Just three — and today Katelyn only cried because she didn’t like the outfit choices (due to a special event at school), and she even allowed me to braid her hair different to match the theme of the day — which honestly she would NEVER have allowed previously. But most importantly when we got to school today she stopped to give me a kiss and tell me to have a good day and jumped out of the car HAPPY! I drove away with a stream of tears down my face because if this is the only progress I see I would have been THRILLED.
I would go to the ends of the earth to help her feel better but as it turns out I only needed to go to West Bend. I’m so excited to see what other changes are coming her way!
THANK YOU! God has directed me to you and we are blessed!”
—Katelyn’s parent
“...I was extremely skeptical...After steady care from Dr. Krysti for the last 3 months, I am ecstatic to share how different my son is.”
I would like to tell you a little about my son. He started having issues in school with teachers, bullying, not paying attention. He was put on ADHD meds when he was in 3rd grade. We kept trying different medications because nothing seemed to help and he was slowly but steadily getting worse. Crying fits and acting out in class (anxiety). We took him off all meds at the beginning of summer 2013 and seemed to calm down a little. Although at the beginning of the next school year, it started again, and was substantially worse. Panic attacks, anxiety over teachers and students with tantrums. He started seeing a therapist, and she was so concerned she met with him weekly at school. But with very little success and by January the panic attacks were so severe I had to pull him out of school and home school him the remainder of the year. Subsequently I had to quit my job. We went to a psychiatrist who prescribed anti-anxiety drugs but that seemed to add depression into the mix of things. Migraines stomach aches, anxiety with panic attacks. We seemed to stumble along but he wasn’t getting better. We couldn’t take him to unfamiliar places without a scene. In May a friend took me to a seminar Dr. Krysti was doing. I didn’t know much about it and just that it was dealing with anxiety, autism, and such things, When I learned that it had to do with chiropractic care, believe me, I was extremely skeptical. I truly believed that chiropractic can help with back and neck issues but anxiety and autism??!!I thought it was a stretch but I listened and asked questions and decided to give it a shot. Nothing else seemed to be making a difference. After steady care from Dr. Krysti for the last 3 months, I am ecstatic to share how different my son is. Loving, happy, silly, plays outside making new friends trying sports again. Headaches and stomach aches are gone. I have my son back!!! Thank you Dr. Krysti for that.

“Since starting care I have noticed a huge decrease in his behavioral challenges, he is more relaxed, and he has matured quickly.”
“My son was diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder around the age of six years old. His teacher and I noticed that around the age of two years old he was acting differently than other children his age. He seemed to have a lot more energy than other children and he was having behavioral challenges. We tried a variety of things such as strict routine, vitamins, watching red dye intake, and monitoring his diet. We also tried getting him involved in activities to burn off his large amount of energy. No matter what we tried nothing seemed to work and things were getting worse. In first grade, my son was diagnosed with ADHD and he was put on daily medication as a last resort. Jump to 2018 when I met Dr. Krysti when she did a presentation for my work. A few weeks after meeting her I called to schedule my son’s first appointment at River Shores Chiropractic. Since starting care I have noticed a huge decrease in his behavioral challenges, he is more relaxed, and he has matured quickly. He is also able to focus better, his sleep has improved and he seems less antsy. I have even had his school reach out to me and comment on his improvements. I know that this is still a work in progress but we have already seen such amazing results. All of the staff is wonderful, always pleasant and extremely welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about River Shores and how thankful I am to have met Dr. Krysti and taken a chance on this.”

“Soon after starting care at River Shores Chiropractic things improved quickly and now Keira is a content, happy baby!”
“When Keira was just shy of three months of age, the thought of returning back to work after maternity leave was terrifying!
From the day she was born, she was a very unsettled baby. She would cry constantly, never wanted to be put down, was stiff as a board 90% of the time and had a horrible time sleeping and eating.
I was exhausted and knew we needed to try something to help her.
Soon after starting care at River Shores Chiropractic things improved quickly and now Keira is a content, happy baby!
Previously before RSC, I dreaded leaving the house and being in public with her because of her uncertain behavior and response. It has been fantastic to be able to leave that fear behind as I know that she will do great and her smile will brighten the room! She now settles easily when upset and her issues with eating and sleeping resolved.
After a few adjustments, I was able to nurse her without a shield, which in the past was impossible.
So many areas of our lives have been impacted by the help of River Shores, but the greatest of all is our family dynamic.
Keira is a completely different baby which helps all of us, including our toddler who couldn’t understand why she was constantly crying.
We always feel welcome, including my son’s stuffed animal puppy that he takes everywhere. I am so grateful to all of the staff at RSC for your kindness and patience with us at every visit.”
—Keira’s parent
“I have noted a great deal of improvement not only in her sleeping pattern but also her mood throughout the day.”
I began taking my daughter (now 4 months old) to Dr. Wick in December 2012. I have noted a great deal of improvement not only in her sleeping pattern but also her mood throughout the day. I would highly recommend Dr. Wick and her team to anyone that is willing to improve their child’s health and wellness.

“Our 4 year old has achilles tendinitis and chiropractic care keeps us out of physical therapy, and with almost no pain.”
Our family loves River Shores Chiropractic! Dr. Krysti & Dr. Andrea are wonderful to work with. We started taking our son when he was 5 months old. At a year old we have seen awesome changes in his seizure activity. Our 4 year old has achilles tendinitis and chiropractic care keeps us out of physical therapy, and with almost no pain. We couldn’t have chosen a more welcoming business.

“...we realized all of the benefits of Chiropractic care made a huge difference in her overall health.”
“I first learned about the power of Chiropractic care when Dr. Andrea and Dr. Krysti became new clients at the spa where I work. After hearing both of them talk about all of the wonderful benefits of Chiropractic, I decided to get my daughter checked right away.
We initially started care for my daughter because she was having trouble sleeping and experiencing some digestion problems. Happily, the concerns that we had for our daughter went away. It wasn’t until she started getting a little older when we realized all of the benefits of Chiropractic care made a huge difference in her overall health.
Not only is she sleeping great and her digestion is totally fine, but she is hardly ever sick and if she does get sick it lasts a very short period of time. She is an overall happy and energetic girl.
She looks forward to coming to her appointments and seeing “Dr. Andwa” (Dr. Andrea). At two years old, she is a pro at getting adjusted and enjoys playing with all of the toys in every patient room!
I love the positive vibe of River Shores Chiropractic, from the girls that greet us up front to all three of the doctors; everyone always has a smile on their face!”
—Kennedy’s mom and dad
“Our middle son has been diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. We have noticed an improvement in his overall behavior and focus since starting care.”
I have 3 boys and was seeking balance in our busy lives with kiddos! Our oldest son wasn’t sleeping well and has some anxiety at night. We have found, since starting Chiropractic Care, he has had better sleep and less nighttime anxiety! Our middle son has been diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. We have noticed an improvement in his overall behavior and focus since starting care. Then, our little guy had some digestive issues and would withhold for days… we saw immediate relief for him. It was scary to see our 2 year old at the time suffer from pain from his issues! I knew I had to find a natural way of helping him. Overall, we saw that the boys were healthier and missed very few days of school. My kiddos ask to go to see Dr. Krysti! That is huge in any parents book!

“...after the first two treatments noticed results....Our son went from getting up 5-7 times a night to only 1 or 2 times and is finally a HAPPY baby. ”
Dr. Krysti is WONDERFUL!!!! I have been taking my 7 month old son to her and after the first two treatments noticed results. My husband and I were very overwhelmed with how crabby our little one was and did not understand why he would still not sleep through the night. After multiple doctor visits and medication for possible reflux etc. A friend suggested taking him to the chiropractor. I had never heard of that for an infant and was very skeptical, but was at the point that I was willing to try anything. Dr. Krysti was amazing. She was gentle and kind. I felt totally comfortable having her care for my baby. I was just glad that she was able to help him, it is never a guarantee but in our case….. SUCCESS. Our son went from getting up 5-7 times a night to only 1 or 2 times and is finally a HAPPY baby. Our babysitter has even noticed a difference. Thank you Dr. Krysti.

“I am so happy to report, she is a different child!!”
“Madilyn was always a very bright little girl. She began reading at age four and a half or five. When kindergarten started, Madilyn really struggled to progress in reading and math. Her penmanship was truly horrible. Throughout kindergarten and first grade, her classmates began to pull away from her. It was suggested that she may have ADD. We had her tested by a child psychologist and it was determined that she does not. While we were very happy to hear that, my husband and I had no idea how to help Madilyn. Through word of mouth, it was suggested that we try chiropractic care and vision therapy. We learned that Madilyn has severe spinal subluxations and a visual impairment.
We began chiropractic care at River Shores in September and vision therapy in October/November. I am so happy to report, she is a different child!! Madilyn has really progressed in reading and her penmanship is awesome. Madilyn went from barely functioning, to learning and enjoying school! The best part is that she is much more confident in herself and truly feels good about who she is.
Madilyn loves going to get her adjustments. She loves visiting with the staff and playing with the toys. We love that River Shores is so very family oriented.
I will be honest and say that I am probably the worst Mom in terms of being worried about this little girl. Dr. Andrea has been very encouraging to me and extremely patient with me. She’s taken extra time to listen and speak with me about my concerns; for that, I am very grateful. Our family is committed to holistic care. River Shores has been the perfect fit for us and a true blessing in our lives!”
—Madilyn’s parent
“...Dr. Wick has been adjusting her more frequently. Over the past few weeks I have noticed a change in her.”
Chiropractic is amazing! Just about a month ago I mentioned to Dr. Wick that my daughter was having trouble focusing at home. Also, her teacher had called me and said that she was quite a bit behind in school. Immediately Dr. Wick took action, suggesting a thermal scan and EMG, which we did and found some big problem areas. Since then Dr. Wick has been adjusting her more frequently. Over the past few weeks I have noticed a change in her. Then this week I received another call from her teacher saying that she has seen HUGE progress in my daughter in the last couple weeks both academically and socially. Thank you Dr. Wick for being passionately invested in your patients! Looking forward to continued progress!!!!

“Since being seen by Dr. Kristi and Dr. Andrea my daughter has been making great strides.”
“I can’t say enough great things about this wonderful place. The minute you walk in the door you’re greeted by name immediately and placed in the room of your choice. Both Dr. Andrea and Dr. Kristi are the most kind hearted individuals that understand your frustrations especially with your child(ren). My daughter has sensory processing disorder and both individuals have reassured me that they are here to listen and help. Since being seen by Dr. Krysti and Dr. Andrea my daughter has been making great strides. I can’t wait to see what the future holds in getting chiropractic care for my daughter. Keep up the great work River Shores!!!”

“My daughter is now happier, healthier, and thriving with the help of the Doctors and staff at River Shores.”
“Life before River Shores Chiropractic was much different for our family. My daughter, Paige, has severe autism and many sensory problems. Before chiropractic, we were not able to take her places, play outside, or even hug her. Sounds, lights, and touch were too much for her to handle. She struggled to sleep, relax, had a weak immune system and experienced digestive problems. We discovered River Shores Chiropractic on Facebook and I attended two events they held. I was hopeful that this could help our daughter. Paige has come a long way with the help of River Shores. She has improved so much with her sensory struggles. Now, we are able to go places, play outside, travel, and hug her!
The feeling I get now being able to touch and hug my daughter is incredible. Her vocabulary has expanded, she is not sick nearly as often and she is calm and relaxed. Previously, she was very tense and on high guard. It has been wonderful to see all of the improvements in her. Before River Shores, I would wake up and not know what the day would hold. I would pray that we would have a good day and wondered what challenges we would experience. Now, I go to bed and wake up knowing it is going to be a great day! My daughter is now happier, healthier, and thriving with the help of the Doctors and staff at River Shores. Our family cannot wait to continue to watch her improve!”
—Paige’s mom
“With the help of his chiropractic adjustments and many other natural options suggested by River Shores, Jake’s well-being has improved significantly.”
“Five years ago we heard Dr. Krysti’s presentation at an autism support group meeting. We knew we needed to utilize Chiropractic care to help our autistic and epileptic twenty-one-year-old son, Jake.
Before Chiropractic care he experienced anxiety, digestive problems, as well as frequent headaches, occasional back and neck discomfort and problems sleeping and coping with stress.
With the help of his chiropractic adjustments and many other natural options suggested by River Shores, Jake’s well-being has improved significantly. He has experienced fewer headaches, less discomfort and continues to progress in all areas.
With RSC we continue to see improvements in his health and we know he is in good hands. The office is filled with staff that is friendly, caring, and dedicated to each patient’s well being.”
—Jake’s parents
“We started noticing a difference in her very quickly after starting care.”
“Olivia loves sports, especially ice skating. We were concerned that her poor posture was holding her back from her full potential with skating.
We started noticing a difference in her very quickly after starting care. Her posture improved but she also bounced back quickly after a concussion, is sleeping better, and has more overall flexibility!
She has been empowered to be more aware of her own body and is more in tune with her health which has made a difference on and off the ice.”
—Olivia’s mom
“We noticed within the first three months: improvement in focus, better sleep, increase in appetite, a growth spurt, calmer demeanor, and he was getting better in public places.”
“My son Jenson was a term baby. After his one year shots, Jenson ran a 104 degree fever for six days. We went to his pediatrician and she said that was a normal reaction and everything should improve. We noticed over the next three to six months that he developed rashes, he started losing all language development, started screaming in public places, and arching his back while he was eating as if he was in discomfort. We sought advice from three autistic specialists and they diagnosed him with an autism spectrum disorder at age two. We soon started him on a gluten and casein free diet, probiotic, fish oil and conventional behavior therapy. He did that for about three years. Last year, after he began kindergarten, his intensive therapy ended. We were looking for some alternatives because he was doing better, but not as well as we would like for him to be.
My friend Drew knew Dr. Krysti and said “You have to see this lady, just go in for a consultation, just go in and see if this is something you think Jenson could benefit from.” We noticed within the first three months: improvement in focus, better sleep, increase in appetite, a growth spurt, calmer demeanor, and he was getting better in public places. I actually got an email from his kindergarten teacher, who had him the previous year that stated “I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of your son. He now greets me and smiles every time he passes my classroom. I am so impressed at his increase in language and growth over summer. He is a wonderful little boy.” So, we continued with Dr. Krysti and right now he is maintaining what we noticed since fall.
We are also bringing our daughter to Dr. Krysti now. Last October, she started 4K and developed a high fever. I looked in her ears and she was starting to get an ear infection. With just one adjustment her ear infection began to go away without putting her on any antibiotics. When she began care she also had a speech impediment. Now, her teachers have noticed that her speech has improved and more intelligible. We will continue to use this as a tool for our health and well being. Dr. Krysti and her staff have always been helpful and very accommodating. I just want to thank her for all of her help, especially with Jenson.”
—Jenson’s parent
“After now only 2 weeks of care, our daughter has improved range of motion, she is sleeping through the night, and is almost sitting independently!”
“At 5 months our daughter woke up with severe torticollis. We instantly called a friend who has taken her child to a chiropractor since they were an infant. We called Dr. Krysti’s office and they were able to see us that day. After our first appointment, our daughter’s results were amazing. After now only 2 weeks of care, our daughter has improved range of motion, she is sleeping through the night, and is almost sitting independently! We are so pleased with Dr. Krysti and we know this was the best decision. The office staff has been wonderful, kind and very helpful as well. There is no other place we would rather be for this!”
—Sara B.
“Within a few visits she had him opening his jaw with no problem, which I am still benefiting from, and he is a sound sleeper!”
Dr. Wick has changed our lives. We started seeing her when my son was 6 weeks old. He was not nursing well nor sleeping. Within a few visits she had him opening his jaw with no problem, which I am still benefiting from, and he is a sound sleeper! As she worked on him it was almost as if we could see the tension release. At such a newborn age I didn’t believe such stress or tension could build up but this proved me wrong. He is 7 months now and we see her for everything including cold/flu season, ear aches, upset tummy, constipation, and spitting up. My son has never been on antibiotics and does not spit up at all. He is so happy, which makes me happy! Thank you to Dr. Wick and her wonderful team.
—Shawna M.
“There is so much life in his eyes. He laughs so much more, plays with his toys, very social, and eats like crazy....Thank you Dr. Krysti for coming into our lives. You’ve made a world of difference.”
“Our son’s birthing process was traumatic. The cord was wrapped around his neck; heart rate dropped dramatically, suctioned him out, and ended up with a broken collar bone. Around the age of five he was diagnosed with ADHD and age six with high functioning Autism. The Doctor suggested medication to help him concentrate at school. For several years he has been on Adderall. He functioned better with his studies but it seemed like he “just wasn’t in there” a lot of the times. His meds also enhanced the Autism (noises, bright lights, etc.). Needless to say we have had a tough couple of years.
Our neighbors also have a child on the spectrum and they invited us to an Autism support group. That night we met Dr. Krysti Wick as she was the presenter at the support group. My husband and I know this was not a coincidence. Krysti was meant to come into our lives for a reason!! In January of 2014 our son started chiropractic care and as of June he was med free. With chiropractic care and some in home therapy he is doing great! There is so much life in his eyes. He laughs so much more, plays with his toys, very social, and eats like crazy (was suffering from a lack of appetite as a side effect of his meds). Thank you Dr. Krysti for coming into our lives. You’ve made a world of difference.”
