Feeling 100% better...but how? Chiropractor barely touches her!

I am a 25 year old female that has for the last few years had bad lower back pain.  I didn't know why...maybe a bad mattress?  Who knows, I thought, but after starting care with Dr. Sheena...it's been amazing.

Before seeking chiropractic care, my back, legs, butt, feet...everything hurt.  I had headaches, really bad trouble sleeping....I felt like absolute hell (not an exaggeration).  After the care, I realized these things were all linked to my back problems.  Not only does my back feel better...my overall day-to-day life is better.

When I think of chiropractic care, I kind of think of cracking backs, and maybe some pain...but in this case, with Dr. Sheena, you don't feel anything like that.  It's incredible.  She barely touches you, and you leave feeling 100% better :)

Air Force Veteran, nature lover refuses to "get old," enlists chiropractor Dr. Sheena

Hello anyone who is curious about chiropractic, and what it may be able to do for you...

I'm 67 years old, and I consider myself pretty active.  I love to hunt, fish, and hike.  For quite some time I looked forward to getting older, but not "getting old."  That was a struggle though, as I did find myself with feet that were chronically sore, especially after I would go for a long trip in the woods.  I tried using special socks and shoes, even special inserts, but the pain would only marginally improve or be staved off.

For years I had stiffness and tightness in my back and neck, and tightness in my hamstrings.  As a retired Air Force veteran, I went to see the base chiropractor some time ago, but he couldn't get my back to adjust!  He tried adding extra force, but nothing would align, and he said I was too tight to adjust.  I figured that maybe since I was older and have had scoliosis most of my life, that I was just going to have to continue with my body the way it was.

One particular chiropractic patient of Dr. Sheena's suggested that I go see her.  I had heard about and seen some of the results this patient had, so I thought, why not?  Maybe she can find or do something the other practitioners had not been able to see or do.  I also heard Dr. Sheena used an all-together different method of adjusting the spine, something much more gentle and precise than what had been done to me.

Well, the rest is history.  She told me that yes, I do have scoliosis, and I also have pelvis and neck alignment issues from all the jumping out and off of air planes that I did for all those years.  Those alignment issues were a little more complicated than the other doc may have realized, and needed to be adjusted in layers of treatments, so the nerves and muscles could start doing their own work again, and without shocking the whole system in the process.

After just a few weeks I noticed a difference in my range of motion, strength, and bending abilities.  At this point, I really feel great and the bottom line is that everything feels better.  I have more flexibility, far less stiffness, better posture, and less foot pain.

Last week I went on a big hunting trip, and spent the week stomping all over Montana, and my feet never bothered me once.  What's most surprising, though, is how I can feel and am aware of my actual physical alignment.  I can tell that I am walking straighter, and that, I think, increases the benefits of the actual alignment.

Daily headaches?

I am a registered nurse and mother of 5.  One of my children has special needs.  Before receiving Dr. Sheena's chiropractic care, I had headaches everyday.  My backaches were constant, I was tired, had difficulty sleeping, and had poor foot circulation.

After becoming one of her chiropractic patients, I feel light and energized.  I have no headaches, the back pain is gone, and I sleep through the night now.  My foot circulation has improved also.

I am so excited for how much better I feel!  I had expected only to have my back pain relieved, not head to toe improvements!  I grabbed a whole stack of Dr. Sheena's business cards to keep in my bag, but I will have to grab some more, because I think I have handed them all out!

Some spooky Halloween facts...and some good news, too!


Did you know that:

The annual death toll from synthetic prescription drugs, both from the correctly prescribed and the incorrectly prescribed, amounts to about 231,000 deaths every year ???

 (To put this into perspective, this is the equivalent of a world trade center disaster every week for over a year and a half, or the crash of two fully loaded 747 aircrafts every day of the year).

Did you know that:

the US has the most expensive health care in the world ???

(In fact, the US spends more on health care than the next 10 biggest spenders combined: Japan, Germany, France, China, the U.K., Italy, Canada, Brazil, Spain and Australia).

Did you know that:

If the US health care system were a country, it would be the 6th largest economy on the entire planet. Despite that, the US ranks last in health and mortality when compared with 17 other developed nations ???

Did you know that:

anywhere between 40 and 78 percent of the medical testing, treatments, and procedures you receive are of NO benefit to you—or are actually harmful—as determined by clinical studies ???

Did you know that:

210,000 Americans are killed by preventable hospital errors each year ???

Did you know that:

regular utilization of chiropractors as primary care physicians reduces the need for hospitalization by 60.2%, hospital days by 59%, pharmaceutical usage by 85%, outpatient surgeries and procedures by 62%, and overall global health care costs by more than 50% ???

Busy business woman who just needed the right help! A kind, gentle chiropractic approach made all the difference.

My Testimonial about Dr Sheena:

"I have seen many different chiropractors in the past years. By far, Dr Sheena has been the most attentive in addressing my concerns.

Dr. Sheena is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. She has helped me in so many ways. Not to go into exact detail about what was wrong with me, but she has assisted me with internal problems as well as muscular and bone problem. She fitted me for proper pillow which has helped me immensely. Not only is Dr. Sheena open minded, but she is caring, always smiling, always happy, and treats you like you are her best patient.

I greatly have been appreciating her outstanding service for the past couple of months. I must admit that after a few sessions with her my chronic neck and shoulder problems, has showed significant improvement.

She is extremely knowledgeable and is great at listening to my needs. I have been seeing Dr. Sheena mostly for my neck & shoulder. I didn’t know I could feel this good! She has gone over & beyond her scope of specialty with my other health concerns offering beneficial guidance. I would recommend Dr. Sheena to anyone who wants to receive treatments in a professional, welcoming atmosphere."

Thank you Dr. Sheena!"

Take it from someone who knows!


Being a daughter of a chiropractor, I'm well aware of the benefits of chiropractic care, and the LONG LIST of what it can do for me in the long run. I've been with Dr. Sheena for a little over 2 weeks and if I can say the difference of what she offers compared with everything I've received before is like night and day. I look forward to not only my adjustments but being a reflection of the care she gives....

A good guy finds a good chiropractor...and smiles to tell the story!

I am 71 years old, and I have had back problems since 1967, when my oldest son was born.  I spent over 23 years in the U.S. Army in Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Virginia, Washington D.C., and California.

Before coming to see Dr. Sheena, I suffered with many headaches, neck pain, pain in my mid and lower back, and arthritis pain in my wrist.  I could not move without pain in my back, hips, and legs, no matter what I did.  Just going up and down stairs created major back pain, and my hips and legs felt like cement blocks and poles.  I had a hard time sleeping, too.

Now, after only a few weeks of care, everything has improved!  I still have low back pain, but it is not as intense as before, and continues to improve.  Since Dr. Sheena began treatments, my wrist doesn't hurt anymore, I'm walking and riding in the car better, and I feel more relaxed.  Can you believe that I am sleeping better, have lost 6 pounds and grown 1/16", too?  I almost can't believe it myself.

I will keep going to Dr. Sheena as long as I can.  She does not jump or fall on you, or use a bunch of force during her adjustments that would make you wish you were somewhere else during her treatments.  She is very gentle and caring about you and your problem or condition.

"I was falling apart at the seams", she said, "But now..."

Hello,

I don't want to waste too much of your time, but I want to share a short version of my story.

I am 77 years old, and I was afraid to ever visit a chiropractor until I visited with Dr. Sheena at her office.  I was in such pain that I could not get out of bed to even get to the bathroom.

Now, with the help of Dr. Sheena and 7 months of care, I am living a better life.  I am amazed that over these months of care, I feel alive, unlike I ever imagined.

I cry like a baby when I think of how broken down I was, and how grateful I am that my friend kept telling me "Go, see Dr. Sheena!"

Years of trial and error lead woman to Colfax, CA's Dr. Sheena

I've moved a lot so have had a number of chiropractors in many places.  My on going issues have been lower and upper back pain, neck pain, wrist and arm pain, and pain in my pelvis, hips, and gluteus maximus.  Prior to coming to Dr. Sheena I had 20 physical therapy sessions and probably as many osteopathic adjustments.  Dr. Sheena's treatments have helped me like no other was able to.

Before getting chiropractic care with Dr. Sheena, my neck was stiff and sore, as were my right wrist and arm.  I had been struggling with what had been diagnosed by the medical profession as "carpal tunnel" for the last 15 years.  My right gluteus maximus was bothering me and I had a tender spot for a long time (years--over a decade) between my shoulder blades.

I feel so much better after getting treatments from Dr. Sheena.  She uses a method of unbelievable gentleness and accuracy.  I feel better than I've felt in a very long time--unlike how I thought I could ever feel again.

Chiropractic and the High School Athlete: One Story

I'm  an 18 year old high school senior and baseball player.  I have a bone growth in my tailbone that caused discomfort.  I was having a lot of discomfort when sitting and felt tension in my shoulder blades.  My dad who was getting chiropractic care decided that I should too.

After being under Dr. Sheena's care, I feel more comfortable.  I get better sleep, and my posture is better.  I have severe allergies, and what actually excited my the most about this care was the technique Dr. Sheena uses to clear my sinuses.

Grandma says she is "a different person" since chiropractic care!

Hello,

Before I started care with Dr. Sheena, I had various health problems like bad knees, left hip pain and back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.  This was going on for years.

I'm overweight, and could not walk far at all with out serious hip pain.  I have 2 daughters and five grandkids.  I just wanted to not have pain, and be able to do more.  My husband recommended me to see Dr. Sheena after he received treatment from her.

Because of the treatment I get with Dr. Sheena I'm a different person without any pain.  Also, I'm going to the gym 2 to 3 times a week.  A few months ago, I even did a charity walk for many miles in San Francisco with NO PAIN.  It is exciting that she is helping me without me doing anything!

Incredible testimony from patient...leaves doctor breathless and speechless!

I'm 54 years old.  And have been with traditional chiropractors for 42 years off and on.  The care I received was good but limited, in that I got relief from pain and discomfort during the adjustment/treatment but often by the time I drove home my neck or hip or back would have "slipped" right back into the uncomfortable or painful place it was prior to the adjustment.  And many times over the years I became discouraged and stopped going to a chiropractor all together--sometimes for years.  My back never got better and continued to get worse over the years!

I had been seeing a traditional chiropractor just before meeting Dr. Sheena that was more "into" a holistic approach to life in general--more so than any other I had ever been treated by before--but even though he did help me, the treatments were very painful!  And as I would climb into my van to drive home, my hip would slip right back out.  His hours ended at 5pm which meant I had to close my daycare an hour and a half early to get there twice a week which was stressing me out A LOT!--making me tense as I was getting my treatment/adjustment.  I pleaded with him to at least open after 6 pm one night a week, but his very business-like response was "If it's important enough to you, then you'll get here!"

From my first meeting with Dr. Sheena she made it clear that IF she decided she COULD help me, she would be devoted to helping me HELP MYSELF get well in every way and not just my back!  Doctor Sheena is so warm, kind and loving in her approach to chiropractics--I feel she is more of a life coach combined with a chiropractor combined with an amazingly talented and gifted-holistic-life styled human being.  After my treatment/adjustment appointments with Dr. Sheena I no longer have to worry about it slipping back out before getting back home--because my body adjusts itself--Dr. Sheena makes it possible for that to happen.  There is NO PAIN experienced at her appointments.  I feel relief from pain that continues to improve on my drive home and through the week, instead of the opposite.

It was a whole new way for me to think and "see" myself and my health, after learning from Dr. Sheena that I HAVE within ME the ability to heal myself and that she is the tool to help me do just that.  She reminds me from time to time that I am stronger than I realize, and I am so very grateful to her for that reminder.  And I was very pleasantly surprised that Dr. Sheena has regular appointment hours after 6pm!  Go Figure?!  How awesome is THAT!  She is really tuned-in to what her clients needs are and she is completely, totally devoted to serving her clients.  My life has "brightened" my back problems are healing and I look forward to my appointments with Dr. Sheena and her warm heart and kind smile <3

College student says goodbye to shoulder pain, dizziness, and more!

I am a 25-year-old college student who loves to work out.  Before my husband told me about Dr. Sheena, I had chronic headaches, dizziness, and really bad shoulder and back pain.  I couldn't stand for long periods without having pain in my lower back.  I had to stop carrying purses because my shoulder hurt.

After I became one of Dr. Sheena's patients, my back pain became very minimal, and I think that's only because I have huge boobs and a small frame, and I am still healing.  My neck and shoulder pain are gone and my dizziness along with my headaches are gone.  I can move better and without discomfort.

I have to be honest...I am surprised and excited that chiropractic really worked!

Man experiences the unseen possibilities with chiropractic!


Hi, I was a man who had been through a lot of health problems, two surgeries, and a lot of medication. It began during my service in the U.S. military (I served for 20 years), and I was told that I had to have my spleen, gallbladder, and part of my pancreas removed.  Of course, I had the surgery done, and afterward I ended up getting an infection that seemed to leave my left body and limbs weak and numb.  I lived that way for another 20 years, where I was also having flare-ups of headaches, and neck, shoulder, and low back pain.  I still work, have a family, and I like to stay active, so this was no good at all.  I stopped believing in my regular doctors and decide to turn to alternative medicines. I gave acupuncture a try, and while it did help with some of the pain, the results only lasted a day or two..

When I ran into Dr. Sheena I wasn't sure but from a brief chat I decided to give her treatment a try. With the first two weeks of treatment I could feel the difference from all the others. What is amazing is that the circulation has returned to my left side, and there is no weakness or numbness now.  I used to think it was permanently damaged!  Everything else has improved as well.  She is very knowledgeable about her practice. This is money well spent, if I would've only known about her before I went under the knife.

Thanks Doc.

68 year old woman "sparkles" again!


I'm writing to tell about my experience with Dr. Sheena after just one visit.  In September of last year, I began having a burning pain sensation in my left leg, from my butt to the bottom of my foot.  The pain was mild at first, and only occurred when I was in bed, lying on my side.  The pain would stop when I laid on my back.  In November, I was diagnosed by my medical professionals with Piriformis Syndrome, another name for sciatica.  The pain kept getting worse, affecting my sleep and my fitness workouts, and I became depressed.  I just wasn't my normal, cheerful self.  I started physical therapy and had some sporadic relief.  I still could not sleep on my side. 

One day, I noticed Dr. Sheena at my fitness center.  She was providing information on chiropractic care, so I decided to have her evaluate me.  After hearing her conclusions, I was quite surprised, as she explained that my problem was in the alignment of my head and neck, which caused me to have one shoulder higher than the other, and one leg shorter.  I was impressed with her personal philosophy regarding chiropractic care, so I decided to give her treatment a try. 

I couldn't believe the improvement I experienced after only one visit!  It was hard to believe that simply applying pressure behind my ear would do anything to lessen the pain in my leg.  However, the pain decreased, my range of movement and balance improved, allowing my sparkling personality to return.  After four months, I finally felt like I was on the road to recovery after just one session with Dr. Sheena. 

Dr. Sheena is my first experience with chiropractic care.  I liked that she carefully explained my condition in terms I could understand, and explained what she could do to improve me.  Her method is very gentle, and during treatment she is very focused.  I am happy to be myself again.
