Surprise remedy for pregnancy pain? Migraines?

I am a 24 year old and am 34 weeks pregnant.  I am self-employed as a writer and editor.  I've never tried chiropractic work before to address my health concerns prior to this experience.

I had migraines, upper back and neck pain and some mental fogginess before visiting Dr. Sheena.  Also, beginning in my second trimester, I began having very bad lower back and hip pain primarily on my left side.  I walked with a limp because of this.  That pain is what brought me to seek professional help.

Since being accepted as a patient at Kind & Gentle Chiropractic, I no longer suffer from intense lower back and hip pain, and I can now walk normally, pain-free!  My migraines and upper back and neck pain have also improved noticeably.  The mental fog I had before has lifted considerably as well.

I was surprised that the adjustments are so non-invasive and painless.  The little instrument that Dr. Sheena uses is simple, yet effective and actually feels nice.  I am excited that the adjustments seem to help me feel better all around, and more grounded.

The worst disease you could possibly ever have

I see it more often than I’d like in my office, and even more in the streets, in the coffee shops, in the stores….  What’s sad is that it is completely preventable, and treatable, but it is so rarely recognized.  If something isn’t recognized, after all, there is no way to treat it.  Additionally, depending on the condition of the patient, it can cost an extraordinary amount to treat, and no insurance covers the treatment.  Medical insurance, actually, won’t pay for any of it.

This illness is not a laughing matter, in any regards.  It’s serious, and it most definitely does kill.  It is a slow, painful, and confusing death.  The illness can better be seen as a grouping of three diseases, really, and while you may be able to point them out in others, it often is not so easy to see them happening in yourself.  What is this horrible disease triad?

It’s a lack of self-ownership, self-awareness, and self-responsibility.  It’s the disease of presuming that how you feel, how happy or satisfied, or how healthy you are, is out of your control.  It’s thinking that how you feel, how happy or satisfied, or how healthy you are, is someone else’s, or something else’s responsibility.  It's believing that it's the Medical doctor's, health insurance's, the government's, your family's (etc, etc) responsibility to make you feel better, happy, satisfied, or be healthy. 

Let me step back.  I may have gone over the top there.  I may retract the aforementioned claim that those things are THE worst disease you could possible ever have.  I think I am wrong.

The worse disease is not even knowing that YOU are the only one that can make you healthy, happy, well, and satisfied.  Health, happiness, and satisfaction, if they are true and lasting, can only come from inside YOU.  They involve decisions that YOU make, every minute, every hour, every day.  Autopilot is thoughtlessness, and is still a decision you make.  Our quality of life has everything to do with our personal choices, and little to do with anything else.

No more sob stories.  Take charge!
