Forced to leave career on disability over 15 years ago, now she shovels in the garden without numbness in her legs!

I'm a 57 year old female who sustained permanent nerve damage from a work-related trauma to my ankle/heel that required reconstructive surgery, but none the less the injury greatly limited what I was able to do afterward.  I had chronic pain in the areas where the tendons were shredded and pulled apart, and the nerves were severed for so long, and so severely, that the pain absolutely limited my activities, career, and lifestyle choices.

Over time, I just couldn't move my body to get exercise, or even work.  I put on weight, too.  All of these things led to my body slowly deteriorating in other places, in other ways.  I went for all sorts of medical treatments, and even chiropractic care for when my neck and back pain became excruciating.  I was told I had degeneration in my neck and back spinal regions.  I went for 12 years of treatment thinking that this was only as good as it could get, and my limitations increased and I had less and less energy.

I had numbness come on in both of my thighs at some point in years past, and numbness in my arms and hands.  I had sharp pinching sensations in my upper back that would radiate to the front of my chest, and really irregular bowels.  At a point not that long ago, I couldn't even clean a whole room in my small house in a day.  If I'd wake up in the morning at 5 or 6, by 7:30am, the pain and numbness would be so severe I'd have to quit whatever I was doing.

I am amazed and happy to say that all of that has changed.  Even my sinuses are clearer and my allergies are improved since I began seeing Dr. Sheena just a few months ago.  I have energy I don't remember having for a very long time.  I can clean my house, and prune trees, care for my chickens and dogs, and dig and plant in my garden!  I have better range and freedom of movement all around.

Dr. Sheena was patient with me, as I just didn't think we'd get anywhere new for a while.  Then I realized that all the processes that were going down hill for so long were actually going backwards!  The day I noticed revitalizing sensations in my legs, and then that I had feeling again, was a game changer for me.  Even the old nerve and and tendon wound doesn't hurt as much as it did before.  I think that the nervous system is so amazing that chiropractic can do all this.  I tell anyone who will listen what's happened, and even made sure my friend in Arizona went to see a chiropractor that practices similarly to Dr. Sheena.

Anyway, after a dozen years of treatments with medical doctors, and even with a chiropractor at another office, my condition has improved to such an extraordinary degree that I can't believe that the other chiropractor could dare call what they have been doing with me "maintenance" care.  I had so much farther to come.

Thanks Kind & Gentle Chiropractic!
