I'm a family friend, so you might say I'm biased about Dr. Lynn and her practice, but once you hear my story, you'll know why I recommend her and her massage therapists so highly.
I have congenital cervical spine stenosis, which means that the area where the nerves run through the vertebrae in my neck is unusually narrowed, and has been since birth. I had episodes as a teenager with "cricks" in my neck, but it wasn't until I was hospitalized in my 20's for debilitating neck pain and radiculopathy (pain and numbness) down my arm that I was diagnosed with this issue. I was told by the neurologist who initially wanted to do surgery on me that I was just going to "have to learn how to live with the pain." And that I did for about 10 years. Only once did I try chiropractic and was less than pleased with the results.
Several years ago, I ended up in the ER with such severe pain and swelling that I could not hold my head up on my own. I went to the spine docs, who gave me painkillers, muscle relaxers and recommended some physical therapy. PT is helpful, but the meds do nothing for me. Dr. Lynn and I were talking one day. I showed her my x-rays and she said to me, "Please go see a chiropractor. It doesn't have to be me, but see someone soon because I know it will help you." So, I figured I had nothing to lose and made an appointment. She and her massage therapists made such a huge difference that I am now a regular client. I have much fewer and less severe episodes of neck and back pain, and if I do, it's alleviated far more quickly than if I just did what the spine docs told me. In fact, I haven't taken anything stronger than a couple of Advil, plus use heat or cold therapy for relief.
The staff at Candler Park Chiropractic helped me understand how my spine and muscular system works, which helps me gain more awareness of how I'm moving, how I'm holding tension and what I can do to minimize the risk of issues. Dr. Lynn adjusted me throughout my pregnancy; that and the massage therapy I received from her therapists was a huge relief from the hip and sciatica pain I experienced at times. Dr. Lynn has adjusted my daughter since birth and my daughter absolutely loves getting adjusted. She literally runs to the adjusting table and hops right into position. How many children do you know that love seeing the doctor?
Candler Park Chiropractic also accepts most forms of health insurance and submits the claims on your behalf if chiropractic is a covered service. They will not sell you on numerous follow-up appointments or expensive treatment packages either. read more
