In June of 2023, I felt like I was completely out of options. I was dealing with blinding and…read moredisabling pain that left me unable to hold up my head to stand or sit, let alone work, or do anything beyond the bare functions of survival. It was pain that wasn't even touched by strong medications working through a pain clinic. My friends and family were starting to really panic with good reason. Nothing was showing up, but everyone knew something was very wrong. After six months of no answers and constant imaging, tests, therapies, pain clinics, pills, adjustments, and more, I was fighting daily not to give up until I saw a Facebook ad for Greenwood Family Chiro. It was my Hail Mary. The office staff were/are superior at getting me in promptly and keeping up with me for any missed appointments and tardiness. Dr. Matt provided exceptional intake care for me in my physically and emotionally fragile state, and very clearly read every single word of my paperwork - a new experience for me in healthcare. Dr. Matt listened to my concern about neurosurgery imaging not capturing certain angles, and he pinpointed what was robbing me of living. I felt immediate relief from the first adjustments and knew my Hail Mary connected. When things shifted out recently, Dr. Frances immediately cared not just for my body, but for my sheer panic that this couldn't happen again, and it didn't. Since day one, the entire team has been awesome with communicating to me more of what they see and feel is going on to share with my body to share with my other medical teams as we continue to look for a diagnosis, as well as sharing imaging and results. In mid-June of 2023, I cried in celebration because I was no longer taking office meetings lying flat on the floor, and I could hold my head up without support for fifteen minutes. I ended my relationship with the pain clinic and pain medicine. Early August 2023, I walked around Charleston, SC for a friend's bachelorette party. In early November 2023, I was on a plane to my best friend's wedding in Scotland, where I danced for hours straight. I'm 34 years old, and I have a hard road ahead, but I was given a chance at my life again, and the tools to keep fighting.
