I first learned about baby chiropractic shortly after welcoming my daughter last September—and I truly wish I had known about it sooner.
At just 2 weeks old, she began struggling with severe constipation. After going 7 days without a bowel movement, I reached out to her pediatrician. Initially, they weren’t too concerned and recommended a suppository. We followed their advice, but then another 5–7 days passed with no progress.
Over the next few weeks, we went back and forth with the pediatrician and even made a trip to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital for testing. Everything came back normal, and the next recommendation was to start her on lactulose. At only 6 weeks old, something in my mama heart just didn’t feel right.
That’s when I decided to reach out to Dr. Steve Byrne. I didn’t know much about chiropractic care—especially for babies—but I knew I had to try something.
He was able to get us in quickly, and at 8 weeks old, I brought my daughter in still unable to go on her own without the help of a suppository. Within just 24–48 hours of her first adjustment, she finally had a bowel movement. It felt like such a huge breakthrough and relief.
We continued seeing Dr. Byrne weekly, and after just a few visits, she began going completely on her own. Since then, she has continued to thrive—hitting every milestone and growing into the happiest baby.
Dr. Byrne is absolutely amazing. He is compassionate, truly cares about his patients, and took the time to educate me throughout the entire process. I had no idea how important baby chiropractic care could be until this experience.
I can’t even put into words how grateful I am to have found him. He has made such a meaningful impact on our lives. I trust him completely with my children, will be a lifelong patient, and recommend him to everyone I know.
