I first heard about Health Quest
while listening to 770KOB during a huge snow storm, stuck
in traffic. I heard about posture and its effects and I sit
at a desk on a computer all day – so I called immediately!
I first saw a chiropractor
years ago after a car accident. I read lots of brochures
and information about the practice, and believed it was a
way of healing and preventing the need to “be healed” at the same time. I am hooked
on chiropractic! After hearing about Health Quest-I knew
I had found the office for me. I have been seeing a chiropractor
at least once every 3 months for almost 10 years, and was
in a repeating pattern that didn’t seem to be progressing.
I wanted a defined long term goal with noted improvement,
not just maintenance of a recurring issue that wasn’t
going away.
Upon entering the office, I learned SO much! I learned
that I had been receiving chiropractic care that was not
designed to provide the results that I had envisioned. Chiropractic
could be so much more than relief of a headache or stiff
neck. I learned that correcting the stiff neck was the key,
and that I needed to (and could!) correct the problem instead
of masking it or temporarily relieving it. I learned that
how I move, sleep, walk, work, exercise and carry things
could be modified to help keep me healthy. And I re-learned
that having a positive attitude and being around those that
emphasize and empower that behavior is very important too.
Just because the causes of our problems are often complex
does not mean that the treatment or resolution has to be!
How
has my life changed through the course of care? Wonderfully!
I feel so much better so much more of the time. I don’t
need to take pain “relievers” because I have
less ache and soreness! I have a better outlook, I don’t
feel as tired, and I have met some really neat people along
the way. I even have different conversations with co-workers
and have begun to recognize in each one of us how our own
choices are creating our health patterns. We need to stop
and look at ourselves every once in a while.
I’d rather do this every week and never have to see
a “traditional” doctor again! Keeping healthy
is better and easier that trying to regain health or create
a false sense of health via drugs or any other way!
Who would
I suggest be checked in a chiropractic office? Everyone!
And I tell them so!
