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!
