She thought "It's all down hill from here", until Chiropractic helped her pain and numbness

A little about myself:

I am a mostly retired lady who loves wildlife, nature, travel and stress-free living.

How I felt before her chiropractic care:

One day a year and a half ago, I got up off my sofa to go to the kitchen (a seemingly harmless activity).  I immediately felt numbness and tingling in my left extremities. Over the course of the next few days it only got worse, including upper back, neck and left shoulder pain.  My neck muscles felt strained to their limits and in danger of letting my head roll off.  I saw an M.D. who said I probably had a pinched nerve in the cervical spine and, beyond that, wasn’t very helpful.  For months I tried acupuncture, massage, heat, a contour pillow and lots of ibuprofen.  Nothing helped very much or for very long.  I never considered chiropractic care before because I feared someone “cracking” my spine and sending me into paralysis. Then I met Dr. Sheena and my thinking and course of treatment changed.

In addition to frequent adjustments to correct subluxation, Dr. Sheena prescribed many changes to my lifestyle to help my body heal.  I tried most of her recommendations, but to be honest, I couldn’t maintain most of them.  Even so, I saw gradual improvement in my condition over the next few months, but it seemed for every two steps forward, there was a step backward.  I kept working hard at yoga and pilates and Dr. Sheena never stopped working hard to find ways to help me.  We finally found additional underlying spinal issues.  Dr. Sheena refined her treatment plan and, for the past two months, I have been virtually pain-free, with no regressions.

What surprised and/or excited me the most was:

Dr. Sheena’s care has not been a “quick fix” for me.  It has taken work and patience (mostly her work and patience) and the results have exceeded any expectations I could have dreamed of.  I anticipated a life of increasingly chronic pain, loss of interest in and ability to do the things I enjoy doing and eventually, painkillers that would incapacitate me.  Instead, I feel better than I have felt in 15 years!

Determined to live her life, win against Multiple Sclerosis (MS): She chose Chiropractic

I am a 43 year old mother and grandmother.  I work as a correctional officer and have done so for the past 9 years.

I was diagnosed with MS in 1995 and needless to say that was traumatic for my family as well as myself.  Fear of the unknown....

I worked with a neurologist and was given medication for relapsing MS.  For one reason or another I didn't like how I felt on the medication prescribed, and I decided--my personal choice--to move towards  more of a healthy lifestyle and positive attitude.  My doctor decided to allow this as long as I go in for my regular check-ups.  That was in 2005.  I'm happy to report that I am still going strong. :)

Why I sought out chiropractic care was because I had a lot of lower back pain and my right side felt like it "needed to be cracked."  I refuse to give into the MS.  :)  I thought, "I'll try this, it beats meds."

From the first visit with Dr. Sheena, I was sold.  Her approach is getting to the "root" of why things are hurting, not just patching things up.  Such a breath of fresh air!

After my treatments with Dr. Sheena--which, I am amazed, don't really even use "back cracking" at all!--along with her nutritional and supplemental advice, I feel great.  No more lower back pain and my right side is feeling excellent.

I know I have someways to go to be labeled with "excellent" health, but I truly believe I have found the secret.

I would and do recommend Dr. Sheena, or if not her, chiropractic care to anyone that wants something more than just a "band-aid" over the symptoms and wants to get to the root of the issue.
