Ever the skeptic, I was more than apprehensive about seeing a chiropractor. "They're not even real doctors", I told my mother when she suggested this absurd idea. Although I was worried I'd get MORE jacked up from seeing a chiropractor than just living with my shoulder randomly coming out of the socket, I made an appointment with "Dr." Brown to check out my issues that stemmed from a rollover car accident.
Dr. Brown was very friendly, sweet yet still professional. Her office is no frills, rather an old home (that I think she lives in the upstairs part of) located downtown STC and has several nice plants strewn about. It's kind of creepy to me, again-- that might seem rude since she lives there but it seriously could be haunted!! Despite my many (perhaps irrational) fears, I am glad I went to see her.
She explained to me that due to hemorrhaging that had calcified, I had one side that had been impacted and was super tight-- and that the other side was overcompensating, resulting in my loosey goosey shoulder. Over a series of visits, I think my problem was somewhat alleviated through adjustments, electric stim, and massage. Although strengthening the surrounding muscles seemed to be the best solution to my issue, this definitely helped. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a professional and kind chiropractor in the STC area. read more
