Chiropractics gone wrong
My 20 month old daughter had a fall some three weeks ago. She fell from a height of about 80-90cm on her back. Her bottom broke her fall, she then hit her back and then her head. She cried for only a minute and then was back to her usual happy, playfull self. I palpated her everywhere and she did not flich or seem bothered at all. Her behaviour remained the same so there was no cause for concern.After a couple of weeks it occurred to me that perhaps there was some damage done and that I had better had it checked out by a chiropractor. The chiro found that my daughter had trauma (not serious, but notable) to Occiput and C1, C2, T3, T4 and Sacrum and all on the left side. She was treated with an activator and hands. My daughter cried when her neck was massaged and the chiro assured me that this was because she was held down and didn't want to be and it wasn't a cry of pain. For the rest of the afternoon and before bed all appeared normal.
That night and ever since, some seven nights after treatment, my daughter has been like a dog on watch, not being able to settle for any period of time, squirming around in her bed, waking at the slightest noise and generally with her nerves on alert. She had only just recently started having just one night waking (around 4am) and would self soothe and settle herself when she would wake in bewteen sleep cylcle or from noise.
I am quite despaired and the chiro is away on a weeks leave so I cant ask any questions. My suspicion is however that she was over treated and that her nerves are heightened, placing her in a state of acute awareness. I read that chamomilla heals nerves. I only had 200c in the house so I gave her that (from her teething day) and tissue salts for nerves. Last night she woke regularly but also settled easier so I dont know whether to give her another pillule. I am a homeopathy novice and would appreciate any help or suggestions.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I can see where you would think chirop has gone wrong. Please do not kill the messenger. Granted it was severe and left her in pain. He should have been more informative and gentler.
Most people do not require that an explanation be given and doctors of every type are used to using their own judgment. Our society demands docs do anything without question and demands one visit healings. Magic pills, etc.
You must be more of a pest and heck with what any doctor thinks, learn all you can as you go by demanding more explanation. AND perhaps this is not the "right" chirop for your family.
Now, Please give your child ARNICA for body bruse and trauma. Also HYPERICUM 30 or 200X at least twice. (inbetween) One dose on one day and one dose two days later. For nerve ending injury and tetanus. (No, there is no tetanus here, just wanted to insert some info.)
ARNICA 200X twice a day for 3 days and then once a day for for a week and then once per week for 3 weeks.
When a baby falls from a small height right on her bottom, it jams the spine together. This is what he was doing, trying to release the jam. It made her very sore. If she would have been left in this condition, she may have had problems later in life. (And may not). The bones in a child's body are not complete as yet.
CONIUM is another spine remedy more for the tailbone. Probably would not be necessary here.
You are new enough that you were unaware of Arnica, so you need more reading about trauma and body injury.
