Four days after delivering my first child, I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep, even during the few hours the baby slept. I had a difficult labour, and my back was in agony. My usual chiropractor was booked solid and I was desperate, so I tried Dr Darabi, who had an opening. I have never looked back. She was knowledgeable, and, as a mother herself, understood the effects that pregnancy and labour can have on the body. She worked gently and efficiently, easing the muscles before releasing the joints, and prescribed some stretches and practices (ie, icing and epsom salts baths) to further reduce the pain. I saw her every 5-7 days for a couple months & after just a couple weeks, was sleeping comfortably and walking straight. I give her full credit for getting my skeletal system back into alignment after carrying and delivering a baby! My son is almost one year old, and due to the changing physical strains of breastfeeding and carrying an infant, I go to Dr Darabi for regular back pain relief. I have seen several chiros, and she is, hands-down, the best of the best. She is always punctual, asks questions that help reveal the cause of whatever pain I'm experiencing, and works to loosen the muscles before doing her adjustments-- I've never had another chiropractor do that, and her releases always bring lasting relief. She is gentle but firm, unhurried yet efficient. She continues to prescribe effective stretches to maintain the relief of my problem areas (shoulder, lower back), and is always professional yet warm. read more
