I’ve had the distinct pleasure of providing Upper Cervical Chiropractic care to my patients for 29 years, and I’m so pleased to say that I still love it today. I love what I do today as much as I did 29 years ago. You learn a lot in almost three decades of practice, but I want to give you a few things that come to the forefront of my mind as the biggest lessons.

I knew these when I started, but they’re emphatic now after almost three decades.

Sometimes healing can take a while, so be patient and stick with it. If you’ve had a problem for decades, or even just years, it might take more than a week or two to get the results you want. I’ve had patients say to me, “When I first started seeing you, I wasn’t so sure this was going to work. Three months into it, I thought, Well, I’m a little better. Six months into it, I was so pleased I’d begun care. But, the real kicker is that a year later, I can’t even believe how much better I feel even after the first six months.”

Never! So many of the people that I’ve worked with have been told that they were going to have to live with something or deal with something forever and that there wasn’t a solution. They had tried so many things and not gotten results. That is no reason to give up hope when you’re looking for wellness and getting back to focusing on what you love. You have to keep looking for answers until you find them. Just remember to revert to lesson number one, sometimes it takes time.

It is absolutely the most amazing thing when you see people that have had severe symptoms for years or decades, get well.  Suddenly they have this bright, happy, beautiful, bubbly personality, and then they get to do all of these amazing things in life. I love hearing those stories! The body is resilient and amazing, and given the proper tools, it can go back to functioning optimally.

I knew this 29 years ago because it had worked for me. I’d seen the transformative effects it had on my life, being someone who had chronic, debilitating migraines, who didn’t think she was ever going to have a career or, let alone a degree and have a successful job. The migraines were so debilitating, but once I tried upper cervical chiropractic I was able to get my life back. Being able to do that for countless people over 29 years, and seeing the list of things that my patients tell me dissipated or went away,  is the real proof. Decades and decades of proof. If you’re wondering if you might be a good fit for upper cervical chiropractic, reach out if you live in my area, and give me a call.
