Really proud of her lack of embarrassment. It helps other people be brave.

[kissindzerkiss]

She has better communication skills than some adults.

I love how respectful this doctor is, explaining everything to her as they go along.

What a joke the medical profession has become (and I don't mean Dr. Rahim). Telling a kid to just take laxatives every day instead of trying to figure out what's wrong with her. I love how smart and honest she is about something that could be difficult and embarrassing to talk about for a kid (or an adult). Hoping she gets some relief.

I can't believe the doctors would let suffer for a year! I am surprised she is not traumatised by now. She did so well!!!

[ZosiaDabrowski]

Speaking as a psychologist (provisionally registered), the one aspect that is missing here is explaining the connection between anxiety and the autonomic nervous system. She said she's having panic attacks, and after this in her own consult the mother disclosed that she'd had her own severe pain for many years (during the sensitive developmental period for this child) plus breast cancer a year and a half ago and increased pain since then. I would deduce that the family dynamics and health events (through no fault of the family) were significantly contributing to this girl's anxiety, with family stressors and mum's chronic pain making this girl shoulder emotional burdens too big for an 8-year-old (everyone commenting about her maturity, and her attentiveness to her mum during mum's consult). Anxiety stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to get you ready to fight, flight or freeze. It's only when the body/mind is calm that the parasympathetic nervous system can fully activate, which is when digestion can properly get underway. I wouldn't be surprised if her constipation was caused by a combination of the multiple tailbone injuries as well as her ongoing stress and anxiety.

If you ever have troubles going to the bathroom, please get tested for bladder cancer or any kind of urinary cancer. My grandfather has not been diagnosed in time and it is now too late, so if this can save anyone… Stay safe ❤️

I like that, “treat the cause not the symptom.”

[ninamekerri]

she is so smart and so well spoken for her age god bless her hope she'll get better soon

[tomwaldenofficial]

Such a sweet little girl. I hope this adjustment works and her constipation resolves. Very glad mom and dad took the extra step to go see Dr. Gonstead. Hopefully, there will be a follow-up video.

[lulumoon]

Thanks to this young lady for being public about a common problem. It makes em EVERYTHING harder. Best to her.🙏

[lindean]

I can’t wait for an update! I have IBS and I relate so much to this poor kid❤ chiropractic really helped me feel better across bad days and feel better longer. I hope they feel significantly better over the course of their treatment!

[dgmills]

I watch so many patients come to The office and I'm amazed at how well they are diagnosed and adjusted properly! This young Girl is so knowledgeable about her health❣️🤗👍🙏🏻😘👏😎

[floatinglotuswomenswellness]

I'm looking forward to the next visit and seeing what's changed. Brilliant young lady and great feedback from her!

[CptVein]

Dr Rahim is a saint and this little girl is so mature, so articulated.
I hope she gets the help she deserves.
Kinda appaling that it's been going on for a year. Wth is her doctor doing?

[doubleedgedfist]

I had constipation issues at her age. It’s uncomfortable and embarrassing. Luckily it went away. Hang in there young lady, you’ll be over this soon!

[AprilLeighchronicallyme]

God bless you for your kindness and thinking outside of the box!! Long term laxatives are terrible and cause the gut to become dependent on them. Praying this young lady gets on track with your treatment! I’m going to share this video with my chronic illness community on Instagram. And my YouTube channel.

[McAVITYourWay.]

One thing I observed is that she holds her arm guardedly as she walks, there is very little swinging there, The left improved after the last correction of her neck, but the right arm still had little to no swing!? That may get better on the next visit.!
I agree totally with other commenters, she is a very intelligent young lady, that helps the good Doctor so much!

[angela.b.]

I wish we could see him! My daughter has had severe constipation since she was out of diapers (9 yrs old now) & we’re still battling her constipation. From suppositories, enemas, miralax, kristalose, laxatives, prune/apple/pineapple juice & butter concoction nurses made, physical extraction many times at the ER, special diets, more water intake, we’ve done it all! Seen pediatrician, ER & urgent care docs, Nothing has worked. We always leave with a list of laxatives to take. Basically given a bandaid when we need a reason why. A solution to this years long ordeal.

[danaowen]

She was so adorable, and she seemed to understand what was being done.
