Hiccup Solution Comes from a Chiropractor
You may have read about this girl or even seen her on your TV screen. Her name is Jennifer Mee. She lives in St. Petersburg, FL. She had a case of hiccups that continued for 37 days running. Lots and lots of remedies and treatments failed to give her any relief.
What you may not have read or seen on TV is that the hiccups stopped after she received several adjustments from a Chiropractor. Now, the Chiropractor is quite careful to point out that he was just one of many who offered his help to the 15-yearold girl. However, her hiccuping did come to a stop the day of her final adjustment.
During the time of her continuing ordeal, Jennifer received and tried many hiccup remedies offered from far and wide. Standing on her head produced no helpful results, nor did swallowing spoonfuls of sugar. After medical solutions failed, the family reached out to accept attempted solutions provided by such things as hypnosis, too.
It wasn’t until she accepted an offer of help from a Chiropractor, Dr. Eric Springer of St. Petersburg, that a potential source of the problem was revealed. “The mother of the girl contacted me and I brought her in as a patient. We did an exam and took
X-rays.”
The examination revealed compression on the nerves in the vertebrae in Jennifer’s neck. This condition is known as a subluxation, a partial dislocation of the vertebra. Treatment involved some gentle force to the neck over a course of about one week.
“I just started treating her last week and she actually stopped on the day of her last adjustment,” said Dr. Springer. “I was the only Chiropractor involved, but I don’t want to take full credit for Jennifer being cured. I’m just glad I was able to help her
out.”
Now, after numerous phone calls, much media attention, and even an appearance on the “Today Show,” Jennifer’s life has returned to that of a normal 15-year-old high school student living in the State of Florida. Her Chiropractor may not have done it all, but he certainly did have a hand in providing the final and lasting solution!
