Great Works Chiropractic gave me my quality of life back. I've spent the last five years in pain and the last 2 unable to exercise, a passion of mine. In fact, I have spent the last two years terrified to move, never knowing when I would tweak my back. I've also experienced excruciating hip pain that would dull, but never disappear. I couldn't sleep, squat or walk without it aching. After finally finding a doctor who would take my pain seriously an MRI revealed I had two herniated discs. She could offer me shots to manage the pain and physical therapy. After an unpleasant experience with physical therapy I opted to take matters into my own hands. I've spent hours stretching, fascia blasting, changing my diet, losing weight, resting and a few rounds of cortisone shots when the pain was at its worst. Nothing brought about real healing. I was treating the symptoms, but not the root cause. It was a vicious cycle of less pain, more pain.
I first met with Dr. Seth who did a thorough work up. He was very compassionate and politely offered me a tissue for my tears and reassurance that they would be able to me. I then met with Dr. Bri who went over my care plan. That was a game-changer for me. Being able to see a plan written out that they firmly believed in made healing seem possible. That coupled with their genuine care and concern made me feel cautiously hopeful. While still a bit skeptical I trusted the process. It has been about a month since I started receiving care at GWC and I am not only out of pain, but I am exercising again!! I never stopped envisioning a pain-free way of life, but I had no idea how to make it a reality. Many, many thanks to Dr. Seth and Dr. Bri for their expertise and grace. They understand that being in pain is exhausting. They understand that this may be a last resort for some when western medicine has failed. Most importantly, they understand what they are doing, why, and how to do it exceptionally well. Walking into Great Works Chiropractic was a life-changing decision. I can look forward to pursuing nursing school without overwhelming fear of how I will manage long hours on my feet. As a mother of 4, I am back to leading by example of what a healthy and happy lifestyle can look like. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you Dr. Seth and Dr. Bri!
