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.
