8 Stories of Practice Members at Upstate Specific Chiropractic

Ashley:

Ashley was a young mom who couldn’t work, stand or bend to play with her kids for more than a few minutes because of constant low back and hip pain. After three years, it got so severe that she measured the pain as a 9 out of 10!

After only two months of chiropractic care, Ashley can work and even bend down to play with her young girls without pain, rating her remaining discomfort as 3/10. She’s reporting increased flexibility, decreased headaches and more easily function through her day to walk, sit, lift, stand, and drive.

Quality of life doesn’t just stop at back pain – there’s more to this story!

Other significant changes in Ashley’s life include her mood! With regular adjustments, she said she’s happier in general, sleeping better, feeling more relaxed and rested, and thinking more clearly, able to be “more in tune with what I’m doing” at work and with her children.

Another thing we should add.

As a result of chiropractic care, Ashley has noticed improved digestion and eating habits. When it comes to her health, now she’s more conscious of what she’s doing because she is feeling better and wants to keep it that way.

Corbin:

How does a 12-year-old start thriving for maybe the first time in his life? Corbin started care almost 6 months ago with his family, the youngest of 4 children. He was born with severe torticollis and has been in some version of PT/OT/Therapy his whole life.

During his intake, his parents said that he was always sick, always had pain in his neck, head, and rib cage, could not gain weight, was very withdrawn, fearful of crowds, and possibly on the Autism Spectrum.

Since being under chiropractic care, Corbin has reported a resolution of his pain. He talks to us more and more at each visit, even telling us jokes. More than that, he has gained weight, and his mom has reported that he will go to their megachurch with no social problems.

November 2020, Corbin and his whole family had come down with Coronavirus. Dr. Megan was immediately praying that Corbin would fare well since he had the weakest immune system of the family. Turns out, he had the least severe symptoms out of his entire family!

Recently, our question of the week was, ‘what is the difference between sick care and health care?’ Corbin’s sister said, “Corbin would get about 10 sinus infections a year, and we would take him to the doctor to get antibiotics for it. That was sick care. But now that he is coming here, his body is functioning well, and his immune system is stronger, so he has not gotten any sinus infections. And that is health care.”

Joyce:

Within 7 weeks of chiropractic care, Joyce has experienced decreased back pain, improved balance, and decreased sinus congestion! She had just moved to Greenville and was looking for a new chiropractor, after being under care for several years before moving to the area.

Joyce says “I have noticed that I am able to walk better since being at Upstate Specific Chiropractic. There is no need for a cane around the house anymore and when walking short distances. I have also experienced less neck discomfort and a clearer nose. I love the welcoming smiles of the staff each time I come in.”

Kylie:

We want to look at overall function and quality of life, not just pain and symptom relief! What changes have you noticed in your body while under chiropractic care?

Kylie first came to our clinic for back pain but has noticed so many other benefits since being under care including:

Improved allergies
Decreased headaches
Decreased blood pressure
Stronger immune response
More comfortable cycles.

This is the result of getting to the source of subluxations, where misaligned vertebrae are putting pressure on the nerves, reducing their ability to function!

After two months of chiropractic care, Kylie said, “Before I started coming regularly I struggled with chronic neck pain, horrible allergies, and mood instability. Having scoliosis I lived with constant neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain. Now my neck pain is nonexistent! I no longer have daily pains and my mood has improved with consistent care. My allergies are getting so much better and I feel comforted knowing I have hope. I am so relieved I have a support system with a natural/holistic approach. This chiropractic office is better than any other office I have tried, and believe me it has been a lot!”

Liam:

Are you concerned about your child’s neurologic development? Trust your gut that a hyperactive child with delays may be helped through chiropractic care!

Pediatric adjustments make sure there’s no interference in the body’s communication with the brain. Sort of like a tree branch on electrical wires, when bones are misaligned it reduces how well the nerves can function!

Three-year-old Liam’s parents were concerned that he was hyperactive and needed focus, while he also hadn’t reached certain milestones and his speech was majorly delayed.

After being under care in our office for 6 months his mother said, “Liam’s speech is the most notable improvement. We have also seen a big improvement in his behavior and attention. It seems easier to get his attention and keep it. We have good days and bad days, he still has tantrums, but they are not as explosive as they were. He has also been really healthy this year even after starting school. We just really appreciate that everyone truly cares about Liam.”

Susan:

“My health was very poor before starting care at Upstate Specific Chiropractic,” said Susan. “I was exhausted and in pain, unable to sleep, work, or live life. I had colds and sinus pressure often and my low back hurt constantly. “

“After being at Upstate Specific Chiropractic, I feel much more relaxed and able to handle stress better, able to concentrate and be more creative, and I have more energy and a better outlook. Upstate Specific Chiropractic has given me HOPE, after actually experiencing a reduction in symptoms, and given me a grateful attitude toward my health and making an effort to not take it for granted.”

Karen:

Where would your health be in a year if you started chiropractic care today?

Karen came to us for help with her low back pain and neck tension. After two months of care, she has seen a decrease in that pain and tension, helping her to feel more relaxed. And her cycles are more regular – another great way to tell that her body is functioning at a higher level!

Karen said, “I had back pain, jaw pain, and limb numbness before becoming a patient at Upstate Specific Chiropractic. My husband would massage me at night and I was still having such a hard time with comfort. Now my back pain and all pain is resolved!”

Marisa:

Have you ever tried to lift something that was too heavy or maybe you didn’t have a good posture? Those injuries and subsequent pain and restricted movement can seriously disrupt your life!

That’s what Marisa was experiencing when she came to Upstate Specific Chiropractic. There was a quick improvement in her pain with specific adjustments, and she was able to move freely without pain.

After 2 months of chiropractic care, it was clear that her body had begun to function better and heal. Marisa is more relaxed, gets better rest, and has noticed an improvement in her digestion and breathing. She said, “My body feels amazing! I am more well-rested, less stressed, and I have more movement/flexibility. Upstate Specific Chiropractic is great!”
