Drinking a 6 pack of beer a day just to get through the pain and stress? DON'T GIVE UP! Chiropractic could save your life.

"My name is J.C., I live in Grass Valley, am 25 years old and a father of two.  I work for myself, outdoors, exposed to the elements and doing a lot of landscaping tasks.  This is very rewarding, but also a choice I make.  I enjoy the hard work and the ability to do it for myself.  I've always operated with the perspective that if I cannot do it for myself then it doesn't need to be done.  I enjoy the challenge, problem solving, helping others, and doing the very best I can with my action.  Yet, this commitment only has so much to offer.  It catches up to you, and when it does, it can hurt; so, I chose to accept some help.  Many hands can make light work, I had to remember."

"I felt like 'E.T. phone home' before seeking Dr. Sheena's care.  Most of my body was numb and hard and in tremendous pain--literally years' worth of built up injuries from pushing my body to its limits.  I actually had a leak in my spine and was draining spoonfuls of spinal fluid out of my eyes everyday, had brutal migraines everyday for months, layers upon layers of built up stress & tension locked into my neck & shoulders--basically my body was shutting down and giving up.  Having not much left of itself to compensate with, I could hardly hold my new baby girl or be the provider for my family they rely on me to be.  I was basically unrecognizable to myself and was faced with the painful recognition that I either find a way to get healthy, or lose everything.  Thankfully, Dr. Sheena was there to help."

"I dove into an intensive adjustment plan according to Dr. Sheena's recommendations, with two adjustments per week, with body work in between adjustments.  Thanks to Dr. Sheena's comprehensive ability, her very compassionate, understanding, and gentle approach, after the first adjustment, I could see better and the pressure inside my head diminished markedly.  After the third adjustment, my bowel & bladder function returned to normal, no more fluid was leaking out of my face, and I was sleeping again.  After the seventh adjustment, she was able to break through the neck and shoulder tension and seemed to correct the spinal fluid flow so that it wasn't backing up anymore because my migraines were completely alleviated.  Dr. Sheena's results elevated me from a place of debilitation to one of strength and wellness.  I am able to get a hard days work in as well as show up a worthy family man each day.  I recognize myself again and am proud to have found a place of openness and allow the help."

"I was suprised by Dr. Sheena's sensitivity, passion and precision that she carries though her work.  She is in-depth, reliable and trustworthy and really does have the abilities to make life changing results happen in ways that are noticeable and helpful."

"Dr. Sheena--thank you so much for all that you do. Your craftwomanship is inspiring :) "

"The best feeling of relief I ever felt"

My husband and I have been living in the area for over 25 years.  We both have had chiropractic care in the past--the kind of manipulation that had me bracing for the next movement knowing it was coming and might hurt.  We live on 5 acres of forest and there is lots of physical work to be done.  Oddly enough it was a sneeze several years ago that sent me looking for chiropractic relief early in 2016.  All this time I hoped the persistent headaches and tightness in my neck would be better.  Instead, the pain got worse and I had a hard time sleeping.  I was not looking forward to a body manipulation type of treatment, but I needed help.  I used massage therapy and it helped somewhat, but it never resolved the problem.

I had positive results right away with Dr. Sheena Boyd's technique.  On my way home from my first treatment I experienced a release or "opening up" sensation starting in my neck and moving up and around the back of my head, like something opened or released.  The sensation did not scare me, it was the best feeling of relief I've ever felt.  My headaches are gone, no more tightness in my neck and I am sleeping good again!  In addition her expertise has also improved my posture.

Dr. Sheena's treatment was a relaxing and effective experience.  I never tense up expecting my body to be twisted or contorted to be adjusted.  I look forward to my appointments and how I feel afterward.

Will I be able to work? Will I be forced in to surgery?

….These were questions that haunted a 55-year old man before he finally called me, thanks to a friend's recommendation.

"I have lived in Colfax, CA since I was about 5 years old.  I started working at age 16, and I have been working non-stop ever since.  I am proud of that.  I am currently employed with Coca-Cola and have been for going on 28 years.  I have been truck-driving for 30 years and never had an accident!"

"On a day in March 2016 that changed, though.  On Interstate 80 near Vallejo, CA, a car ran into me while I was driving my semi-truck.  The impact was a hard hit.  I was injured, but I continued working.  As days went by, I was in pain and going into depression.  I was having bad neck pains and headaches.  I felt anxiety and cloudy-headed.  I worried because I know what happens with spine surgeries, and I didn't want to have to stop working.  I only have 7 more years, and then I can retire!"

"My friends and family were so worried about me.  A lady friend said, 'you need to go see my chiropractor, Dr. Sheena.'  This friend had good help from her, so I said I think I have to try it."

"I am happy to say that after some time and care and adjustments from Dr. Sheena, I am happier and hardly have pain.  I have more energy and endurance than I have had since I can remember.  I am outside doing yard work and playing baseball with my dog all day now, and I wasn't like that even before the accident.  I have so much relief, and I am not worried anymore.  Now I know that if something goes bad, Dr. Sheena can fix me!  I am excited, too, that I don't need to have a doctor crack my bones.  Dr. Sheena doesn't have to do that to make her adjustments.  I tell everyone about her.  My family now comes too, because they have seen what she has done for me!"

"THANKS A MILLION, DR. SHEENA!"
