Air Force Veteran, nature lover refuses to "get old," enlists chiropractor Dr. Sheena

Hello anyone who is curious about chiropractic, and what it may be able to do for you...

I'm 67 years old, and I consider myself pretty active.  I love to hunt, fish, and hike.  For quite some time I looked forward to getting older, but not "getting old."  That was a struggle though, as I did find myself with feet that were chronically sore, especially after I would go for a long trip in the woods.  I tried using special socks and shoes, even special inserts, but the pain would only marginally improve or be staved off.

For years I had stiffness and tightness in my back and neck, and tightness in my hamstrings.  As a retired Air Force veteran, I went to see the base chiropractor some time ago, but he couldn't get my back to adjust!  He tried adding extra force, but nothing would align, and he said I was too tight to adjust.  I figured that maybe since I was older and have had scoliosis most of my life, that I was just going to have to continue with my body the way it was.

One particular chiropractic patient of Dr. Sheena's suggested that I go see her.  I had heard about and seen some of the results this patient had, so I thought, why not?  Maybe she can find or do something the other practitioners had not been able to see or do.  I also heard Dr. Sheena used an all-together different method of adjusting the spine, something much more gentle and precise than what had been done to me.

Well, the rest is history.  She told me that yes, I do have scoliosis, and I also have pelvis and neck alignment issues from all the jumping out and off of air planes that I did for all those years.  Those alignment issues were a little more complicated than the other doc may have realized, and needed to be adjusted in layers of treatments, so the nerves and muscles could start doing their own work again, and without shocking the whole system in the process.

After just a few weeks I noticed a difference in my range of motion, strength, and bending abilities.  At this point, I really feel great and the bottom line is that everything feels better.  I have more flexibility, far less stiffness, better posture, and less foot pain.

Last week I went on a big hunting trip, and spent the week stomping all over Montana, and my feet never bothered me once.  What's most surprising, though, is how I can feel and am aware of my actual physical alignment.  I can tell that I am walking straighter, and that, I think, increases the benefits of the actual alignment.

Daily headaches?

I am a registered nurse and mother of 5.  One of my children has special needs.  Before receiving Dr. Sheena's chiropractic care, I had headaches everyday.  My backaches were constant, I was tired, had difficulty sleeping, and had poor foot circulation.

After becoming one of her chiropractic patients, I feel light and energized.  I have no headaches, the back pain is gone, and I sleep through the night now.  My foot circulation has improved also.

I am so excited for how much better I feel!  I had expected only to have my back pain relieved, not head to toe improvements!  I grabbed a whole stack of Dr. Sheena's business cards to keep in my bag, but I will have to grab some more, because I think I have handed them all out!

Busy business woman who just needed the right help! A kind, gentle chiropractic approach made all the difference.

My Testimonial about Dr Sheena:

"I have seen many different chiropractors in the past years. By far, Dr Sheena has been the most attentive in addressing my concerns.

Dr. Sheena is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. She has helped me in so many ways. Not to go into exact detail about what was wrong with me, but she has assisted me with internal problems as well as muscular and bone problem. She fitted me for proper pillow which has helped me immensely. Not only is Dr. Sheena open minded, but she is caring, always smiling, always happy, and treats you like you are her best patient.

I greatly have been appreciating her outstanding service for the past couple of months. I must admit that after a few sessions with her my chronic neck and shoulder problems, has showed significant improvement.

She is extremely knowledgeable and is great at listening to my needs. I have been seeing Dr. Sheena mostly for my neck & shoulder. I didn’t know I could feel this good! She has gone over & beyond her scope of specialty with my other health concerns offering beneficial guidance. I would recommend Dr. Sheena to anyone who wants to receive treatments in a professional, welcoming atmosphere."

Thank you Dr. Sheena!"

Take it from someone who knows!

Being a daughter of a chiropractor, I'm well aware of the benefits of chiropractic care, and the LONG LIST of what it can do for me in the long run. I've been with Dr. Sheena for a little over 2 weeks and if I can say the difference of what she offers compared with everything I've received before is like night and day. I look forward to not only my adjustments but being a reflection of the care she gives....

A good guy finds a good chiropractor...and smiles to tell the story!

I am 71 years old, and I have had back problems since 1967, when my oldest son was born.  I spent over 23 years in the U.S. Army in Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Virginia, Washington D.C., and California.

Before coming to see Dr. Sheena, I suffered with many headaches, neck pain, pain in my mid and lower back, and arthritis pain in my wrist.  I could not move without pain in my back, hips, and legs, no matter what I did.  Just going up and down stairs created major back pain, and my hips and legs felt like cement blocks and poles.  I had a hard time sleeping, too.

Now, after only a few weeks of care, everything has improved!  I still have low back pain, but it is not as intense as before, and continues to improve.  Since Dr. Sheena began treatments, my wrist doesn't hurt anymore, I'm walking and riding in the car better, and I feel more relaxed.  Can you believe that I am sleeping better, have lost 6 pounds and grown 1/16", too?  I almost can't believe it myself.

I will keep going to Dr. Sheena as long as I can.  She does not jump or fall on you, or use a bunch of force during her adjustments that would make you wish you were somewhere else during her treatments.  She is very gentle and caring about you and your problem or condition.

"I was falling apart at the seams", she said, "But now..."

Hello,

I don't want to waste too much of your time, but I want to share a short version of my story.

I am 77 years old, and I was afraid to ever visit a chiropractor until I visited with Dr. Sheena at her office.  I was in such pain that I could not get out of bed to even get to the bathroom.

Now, with the help of Dr. Sheena and 7 months of care, I am living a better life.  I am amazed that over these months of care, I feel alive, unlike I ever imagined.

I cry like a baby when I think of how broken down I was, and how grateful I am that my friend kept telling me "Go, see Dr. Sheena!"
