7 years of suffering in the traditional health care system...


Recently I sought the help of chiropractor Dr. Sheena Boyd for a chronic neck/shoulder/arm condition reoccurring over the past seven years.  The problem, the pain, started again four months ago.  Since then I have been a prisoner of my own pain.  The pain level has been at an 8 out of a maximum of 10, and this leaves the quality of my life very low, a low of about a 1.  The only relief I have found is to lie in a recliner 23 hours a day to bring the pain level down to a 4 or 5.  I have been unable to sleep more than three to four hours per day.

Although I have consulted my regular medical doctor and been referred for tests and temporarily been prescribed a pain killer, from past experience it takes months and years for my body to heal itself.  And this is without really correcting the underlying condition, which apparently has to do with pinched nerves from bulging discs and reduced nerve pathways.

Just three short weeks ago I consulted Dr. Sheena who evaluated my condition quickly.  She started treating me three times weekly to adjust my neck, through the painless manipulation of my soft tissue to open the areas between my discs and nerves.  The positive results have been staggering!  The pain level has gone down to a 2 and the quality of my life has risen significantly; to an 8 or 9.  I have cautiously resumed most of my normal activities.

The cost of this effective treatment has been a little more than my office co-pay to my regular/traditional medical doctor, without any results.  Folks, chiropractic care is a real medical option to improve the quality of your life!  I can unequivocally recommend the services of Dr. Sheena Boyd of Colfax, and strongly suggest you call her at (530) 263-8460 or email her at doctorsheena@gmail.com.

Years of debilitating kidney problems respond to Dr. Sheena's care

I met Dr. Sheena at a community event. Her personality is fun and professional with a dash of old world wisdom which immediately relaxed me as she introduced herself with confidence and warmth.   

I had begun to experience severe pain in my left kidney traveling down my body into my left hip, a set back in my life I could not afford. My experience with medical professionals has been extensive and unsuccessful when treating lower back pain, but the warmth of Dr. Sheena gave me hope. 

My past experiences  created doubt that my pain could be relieved and I waited an additional 2 weeks before contacting Dr. Sheena regarding my situation. By this point I had seen a general medical doctor who had ruled out any infections. My pain had increased to an excruciating level and my ability to work or walk was extremely compromised.  

I made an appointment with  Dr. Sheena. The warmth of her personality, coupled with the old world wisdom, creates a bedside manner of understanding and compassion I truly had not experienced from a medical professional. 

I am on the road to recovery partnered with Dr. Sheena. Her tag line "No one does Chiropractic as I do" is an understatement. Care from Dr. Sheena is a combination of nutrition, exercise, gentle adjustments and exams. Re-evaluating my progress and physical response to her care; Dr. Sheena listened to my words as well as examining  my body and evaluating my improvements in range of motion.  


I would recommend Dr. Sheena to any friend whom  is experiencing pain or unresolved symptoms.

Thank you,

Stroke and traumatic disc injury survivor speaks about Dr. Sheena's care


Dr. Sheena,
           
            Your treatment has been a blessing.  When I came to you I was at wits end.  My medical doctor said I would have these headaches for the rest of my life.  I also suffered from burning pain in my left leg, which my medical doctor said I would have for the rest of my life.  I also ruptured a disc in my back, had surgery, but never lost the pain in my lower back.  But guess what?

            I went to Dr. Sheena for one month and the headaches were gone after the first treatment session, and the pain in my leg was slowly disappearing.  I didn’t have to take one pain pill the whole month I was seeing her, which is quite a feat because I was taking four pain pills a day for years to handle all this pain.

            I just can’t really thank her enough because I don’t know how I could have gone on like that.  What you do is so different.  I had been to chiropractors before, but they used such force and I never had the results I do with you.  You have no idea how relaxing the adjustment feels to me when I am on the table and you are working on me.  You could never understand how bad I was.

Thank you.

Your patient,

Testimonial from retired beautician


To Whom It May Concern:

I have been a patient of Dr. Sheena for the past 3 months.  I have experienced remarkable rapid improvements with many physical problems. I was almost to the point of immobility because of lower back pain.  Dr. Sheena was very accurate in diagnosing the challenges I was having on a daily basis and applying appropriate adjustments with each visit.  What's more is that her adjustments only feel like a light touch.  She also offered me fascinating and helpful advice on nutrition and food choices.

I have been to many chiropractors since I was first diagnosed with scoliosis and flat feet at age 12.  I had some modest temporary improvements. When I was 38, I suffered a broken femur and shattered knee as the result of a slip and fall. Twenty years later, many problems began to emerge as a result of the accident; my being overweight, and standing on my feet all day on cement floors.  Kaiser did x-rays and an MRI. I was diagnosed with 3 herniated discs, lumbar spinal stenosis, and some arthritis, all in L2 and L3.

After reading about the NUCCA therapy online and meeting Dr. Sheena in person, I was very excited about starting treatment.  I just wanted to be pain free and I wanted my hair to stop falling out.  I received so much more.  My balance improved after the first session because my feet were working again.  Circulation began to return to my extremities. My hair began to come back. The veins and skin on my legs are clearing.  I have feeling in my toes and fingertips.   Unexpectedly, my sense of smell returned, and the bladder problem that I have had for 10 years is now nearly non-existent.   I have pain-free days now.   I no longer have muscle spasms when I roll over in the night. I don't have to sit on a stool to cook dinner. I can walk across a parking lot, shop in a department store for an hour, and stand at the register without using a walker. I am looking forward to beginning yoga as recommended by Dr. Sheena to strengthen my muscles and improve my posture.  I now have hope that I can live the rest of my life pain-free.

Thank You Dr. Sheena!

Very touching testimonial from USMC Vet

Greetings,
   My name is Cpl. B., and I am a USMC Veteran.  I am diagnosed with P.T.S.D.  My symptoms consisted of nightmares, snapping awake in a cold sweat, flinching when I here loud bangs (cars, doors, etc.).  I also used to have severe migraines, and digestion problems (having to 'go' in the middle of a meal, usually right when I start eating). 
   After a few treatments from Dr. Sheena, I started to notice that my migraines were getting fewer and fewer, as well as my nightmares.  They would occur as often as 2 times a week, sometimes more, and be very vivid. Now, I rarely have one. 
   I thought I was going to be ok, so I stopped my visits, and within the week I had 2 nightmares.  I consulted with Dr. Sheena about it and started my treatments with her again. Since then I haven't had a nightmare, I have dreams, my migraines are gone, and I can sit down at a table and eat an entire meal and have a conversation with out having to....well you get the picture! 
   I owe this doctor more than money can buy. I finally have peace of mind and it's all because of her.

Thanks Doc.,

Dental Assistant Testimonial


To Whom It May Concern:

            When I first saw Dr. Sheena, I was hoping she could help with my neck and back pain.  When I told her I also had inner ear equilibrium problems, she said she could be able to help me with that, too.  The medical doctors gave me medications for the inner ear, but nothing made it go away, and some of the meds made me drowsy, making it hard to drive and do my work at my job.  I work in a dentist’s office, and sometimes the sounds of the machines we use would even make me dizzy.  I had a fear that I would fall or have an accident with equipment or a patient.  My doctors told me there was nothing they could do, and I would have to learn to live with it.
            Since the first session with Dr. Sheena, I have not had a single episode of dizziness.  That was four months ago.  After more sessions, I noticed that my whole body felt different.  My back pain was better, and I could even see better.  Before her treatments, I was having some vision blurring, but that has gone away and it seems like I have more light coming into my eyes.  Another surprise was that my sinus problems got better, and I was able to have more restful sleep.  I don’t have the headaches I used to have, either.
She also gave me diet advice that was very unique to other things I had heard and read.  Within only 3 weeks of following her advice, I went from a size 6 to less than size 4 (I have to wear a belt in my size 4 or my pants will fall down!)  I just feel more relaxed, in general, since I became a patient of Dr. Sheena.  Things that used to get me upset and stressed don’t bother me much any more.  I really want to thank the doctor for that, and that she showed me she could help me with problems I never thought could be helped by chiropractic, let alone such a light touch! I had no idea that such things could be done.  I really love that the adjustments are such a soft, light touch and she does not crack anything.  Also, she has done all of this for me without taking any x-rays.  Wow!

Thank you, thank you, Dr. Sheena!

Retired SF Police Officer Testimonial

The chiropractic technique that Dr. Sheena uses is like a miracle.  I spent many years as a police officer, and my body has been through more than I want to share, but ever since I became Dr. Sheena’s patient, my low back pain has turned around 100%.  She keeps going until she gets the results she wants.  She doesn’t quit.

           When she gives the adjustments, she uses a very gentle and precise technique, and sometimes I feel like I am in a deep meditative state while she is delivering the adjustment. When I get up off the table after one of her adjustments, I feel like I am walking on air. It’s also like my whole body responds after every adjustment, and it stays.  I sleep better, and I feel better emotionally and physically.  Also, the adjustments have made my romantic relationship with my partner livelier!  I think her technique holds my system together.

          She is professional, courteous, and very humorous.  She always appears healthy.  She respects my time.  She knows that you can’t force ideas, you can only lead by example and dedication. When she sees a patient who has made a lot of healthy progress start to slip, she helps you see that you owe it to yourself and to others in your life to not lose the ground you have covered. She keeps her personal life to herself, and is present for me as a patient, for my needs.

          Dr. Sheena has very good common sense; she is ethical, and disciplined.  She is always on a high note with me, and when I leave our appointments, I am too.  She is very talented, and she does a lot of her own  research.  She cares for her patients, and takes her time to explain and educate the patient.

You are lied to over and over again.


My name is Dr. Sheena.  I am a very special kind of doctor that gets sick people well.  No, I really mean it.  Most doctors enable sick people to be sick. They give them medicines, drugs, injections, perform surgeries to cut out or add in parts….but they don’t get sick people to be healthy. 



Here’s the thing:  not only do I get sick, ill, suffering people well, I do it without medicines, drugs, injections, and surgeries.  How?  What possibly could a doctor do to get people feeling and functioning better than they ever have, without chemicals and scalpels?  Here’s your answer:  This doctor understands more about how and why things go right and work properly in the human body than any other doctor in this town (maybe even in this county), and knows how to unlock that potential with an all-together different technique than any MD, osteopath, massage therapist, or most chiropractors can imagine or perform.

You have been led to believe you are a bunch of parts that malfunction all the time, and that you need pills and laser treatments to cope with your inevitable decay.  It’s a lie.  You are far more than a sum of your parts.  You can, and deserve, to be better and more every day of your life. 

If you are fine with falling apart and rotting more everyday, ignore this message.  If you are ready to change dimensions, read on.

As you know, your brain controls everything in your body.  But how does it control your body?  The answer is nerves.  We often only think of nerves when we think of painful things, but nerves do more than transmit pain messages.  When it comes to the number and types of nerves that connect the brain to the body, only about 10% of those nerves are the pain-transmitting type.  The other 90% don’t “feel” anything…they make your heart beat, your muscles move your arms, allow you to hear, keep you balanced as you walk down the sidewalk, etc.  As long as those nerves are not interfered with, things are great, and you have perfect health.  But nerves often do get pinched, or irritated, and in most cases, there will be no pain to warn you.

How do those nerves get irritated or pinched, causing the body and its systems to malfunction?  They get pinched by the bones of the neck and back (vertebrae) when they misalign or get “stuck” in one position.  The areas of the spine where bones are in the wrong place and putting pressure on the nerve system and causing harm to the organs, glands, and other systems of the body are called subluxations.  One of the most dangerous places in the spine to have subluxation is the top of the neck.  That is because it causes a chain reaction in the rest of the spine, and is often the reason people have ringing in the ears (tinnitus), vertigo (dizziness), poor metabolism and low energy, and have a hard time healing and coping with stress.  Think about it.   A broken neck can mean being paralyzed, being hooked up to machines that keep your lungs breathing, your heart beating, and eliminate your wastes from your bowels and bladder…or even death.  You don’t die from pain when you have a broken neck!  You die because the life giving nerves to your body are completely crushed.  Doesn’t it make sense, then, that bones in the neck that are crooked and stuck, putting pressure on your nerves, are the reason for your illness and discomfort?  Now that you know this, I must ask you another question:  if pinched or irritated nerves are the reason for your illness and discomfort, what is the point of drugs, medicines, needles, and knives?  Why not adjust the spine—the cause of the problem­­—and take the interference away from the brain and body communication pathways, so healing can take place, and normal function can just happen naturally?  Other wise, the nerves stay pinched, and you just dump toxic chemicals into, and mutilate, an incredible living machine that knows how to and can be 100% healthy, but just has some kinked wiring!

I find your kinks, and GENTLY unkink them….then…(here is the best part)…I step back and watch your body do the rest.

It’s a beautiful and amazing show every time.

Give me a call if you are ready to find out if you have subluxation, and are ready to get those subluxations corrected.
