November’s Patient of the Month

IMG_5850We want to celebrate our Patient of the Month for November, Melissa. Check out her awesome story below!

I think most people see a chiropractor because they are having specific issues with their bodies, like pain or illness.  My reason for seeking out a chiropractor was because my husband made occasional comments about how my neck looked crooked.  This concerned me.  Earlier this year, I met Dr. Bethany at a wellness class she lead at my job and decided to make an appointment at Restore.  During my initial assessment, we discussed my spinal scoliosis (which I knew I had) and reviewed the x-rays which showed that my neck had arthritis and bone spurs (a shock).  Yikes… very scary!  Without knowing what caused it, both Drs. Nikki and Bethany were confident they could prevent my neck from getting worse and were optimistic they could assist in improving my neck and back conditions.  I began treatment and then a month later I found out I was pregnant with my second baby, so now they are helping me with that as well.  I can honestly say that I feel great.  Progress has been steady.  At every appointment, they ask how I’m feeling and address any issues that come up.  With my first pregnancy, my back was always sore.  With this one, it rarely occurs, though, when it does, it is amazing how an adjustment can alleviate any discomfort I may be experiencing.  I am so thankful that I started seeing them when I did.  They truly care about my overall health and well-being.  I know my body is now working for me and not against me.” -Melissa
