I have noticed several benefits of chiropractic care throughout my treatment, which began about 4 months ago. The reason I first came in was because I pulled my back playing volleyball. I had considered coming before that because of the good things my wife had to say about it, but unfortunately the injury happened before I started coming. The first stage of my care was to heal the back injury.
This method appealed to me because it is the body’s natural way of healing as opposed to taking drugs. During this stage of treatment, my back gradually became better and was back to 100% after a few weeks. Amazingly, my allergies which had been so bad prior to the treatment completely went away. I noticed this while sitting out by the pool at my in-laws house, who live in the country and have a lot of weeds and trees around the yard. That used to cause my allergies to go crazy – runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. But the week after beginning treatment I went there and had no allergy side effects – no more need to take Claritin. Since this initial phase of treatment, I have continued getting adjustments weekly at first, and am now trying bi-weekly. One major benefit I’ve noticed is improved posture and back strength. I went through a stage where my back seemed to be a little sore, almost as if I had been doing a back workout at the gym. It seems this was because by correcting my posture, my back was adjusting to it. Now my back no longer gets sore, and in fact seems to be stronger and more supportive. I’ve noticed when running or working out, this posture and back strength helps improve the rest of my body’s movement. Finally, I have realized that I used to sit with horrible posture at work which could’ve lead to my eventual back problem. I now notice this and correct it whenever it occurs. Kevin Van Kammen
