Reply to Andy R's Post: more or less. occasional constipation is treated with miralax. impaction cleared with miralax. distention of colon has shrunk to normal and impaction has been cleared with same, but #2 potty accidents occur between chiropractic adjustments, coinciding with misalignment, that seems to be resulting from normal play activities for my now 6 year old. sought chiropractic adjustment for neck strain/back pain 10/06. accident occured 5/30/06. e/r for lethargy 12/06. xray shows pelvic misalignment, low spine slightly curved away from force of collision. anomometry test showed slight elevation in pain/pressure tolerance. time between chiropractic adjustments depends on physical activity level and misalignment symptoms.

Reply to Andy R's Post: well, one of the problems i have is that no one can tell me what doctor would specialize in this type of problem. we have been to several specialists, including, but not limited to; gastrointerologist, urologist, neurologist, family practicioner and the first thing they say is, "well, first of all, these symptoms were not caused by this car accident," to which i say, "well, what did cause them?" and the answer is always, "well, i am not exactly sure, but it probably was not this accident." and i ask, "why?" and the reply is "well, because we have seen other children with these types of symptoms before, and they weren't in car accidents." and i say "oh, so if all dogs have four legs, then all animals with four legs must be dogs, right?" and the response is a blank look and "well maybe you should see another specialist, we don't really deal with that here anyway." By the way, did i mention we don't have health insurance? We have not taken our son to any orthopaedic physicians. Who do we see?

Reply to Andy R's Post: i have more or less accepted that the chiropractors treatment of basically "reversing the blunt force," by manipulation, may be the best thing we have going for us, but you mentioned an orthopaedic specialist. how would one find such a specialist who might be familiar with blunt force trauma to the pelvis and its resulting symptoms?
