Why Try Chiropractic

One day a practice member, who asked to remain anonymous, came up to me and asked how she  can tell her chiropractic story, because she figured that there are man people like her who suffer needlessly.  I told her , since you don't see chiropractic commercials on TV, the best way she can share with others is through a testimonial.  The following is what she wanted to share.

Why try a chiropractor??  Why even think about giving it a chance?  Well, I'm twenty-four, I've been in two car accidents and I can give you over five hundred reasons why.  

I will start by saying the first four hundred reasons for me are pills.  The pills I was pumped up on everyday just to get by.  The pill that made all the pain go away. Not only did they take all the pain away, them all the stress and problems in life seem ok. 

It started out slowly, slow enough that I didn't notice the problems I would lead myself to. I was getting horrible headaches and neck pain.  I had seen a chiropractor a few times but I thought, "Why should I pay out of my pocket when I have medical coverage?"

So I went to the "doctor".  I left his office with no real answers, just pills.  They covered everything up great.  About six months later I was up to four, five pills a day and I started noticing I felt like I was slipping away from reality.  Happy when I had them, but not myself anymore.  I couldn't sleep; sometimes I didn't eat for a few days. I was deeply depressed.  It seems as though I need those pill just to do any normal activity.  After a while I didn't want to get out of my bed.  Some days I didn't bother. 

My parents kept calling me, hoping that I would follow their advice and do anything I could try and get better. That's when the Chiropractor was mentioned.  I didn't have anything to lose, at least it would force me to get out of bed and get dressed. 

Dr. Omega came to mind since I had seen him before.  He did listen and he told me last year all about the care I needed. But he was a Chiropractor.  Someone I now wish I had listened to a year ago.  Insurance won't cover it.  It's probably cheaper to prescribe pills to cover the problems.  After a few weeks I noticed I could do things, I felt better and I could start to see the big picture again. I'm still taking it easy, but let me be the first to say I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to living my life again. 

Dr. Omega has not only allowed me to do that but I can also say he has had such a good impact on my situation. Everyone in his office is great.  They always greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome, even wearing slippers and my hair was all over the place!  It's nice to find people who really care and understand. 

Now I know things don't get better over night, BUT they do get better.... IF YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT HANDS!!

We Celebrate 10 Years in West Sacramento serving Through Chiropractic

I was sitting here the other day thinking "Holy Moses.. I've been here in West Sac for 10 years now!!"

Seems like yesterday, when Avery was a baby, that we decided (since we lived in West Sacramento) to sell our office in Vacaville and start a new here.  It was a big leap of faith to start all over from scratch, but it was well worth it'

We are so blessed to be part of a community like West Sacramento! We thank you for all the support and trust over the years!

Before I Erase It!

For whatever reason, I've had a handful of practice members take a picture of this  quote on my whiteboard. I imagine it speaks to them as it did to me when I wrote it up there; how many times do we let our past experiences affect our ability to see change? Our ability to grow as an individual? Or our relationships with others.

What's holding you back? Find it.. And let's kick it's rear!

Be well!

Hello? Is this thing on?

The other day, while cleaning out the back of my office, I stumbled upon some of my old Chiropractic handouts I had made.  I used to love doing this stuff.  Many thoughts went through my head. I sure did spend a lot of time in front of the computer trying to find ways to help people understand what I do or what I ask them to do better. And, it sure has been a long time since the "creative" side came out.

So writing here is very similar to when I dusted off my basketball shoes to play at Old Man Basketball at OLG School.. it may take a while to get used to it, but I want to have fun in the process.

Here is my purpose: I want to use this blog to discuss things I see in my office, trends in health care, or tips to help your Nervous System work at 100%.  This blog will be shared with all my practice members.  I will also share updates for those of you linked to my Facebook and twitter profiles. On my status updates or tweets, you will read it as, "Update from Southport Chiropractic" with a word or two on the content of the blog post.

If you have any topics that you would like to see on here, just shoot me a message and we will see what we can do!

So we are back on and ready to go!
