So I have experienced back pain for many years and wasn't sure what to make of it. Every time I…read morecomplained about the pain, those around me would make me feel like it wasn't a big deal or would make remarks like "you're too young to know what that is". So needless to say, I never did anything about it for a really long time.
Until recently, the pain became quite unbearable. Simple things like sleeping, driving, and even getting out of bed, irritated me. I knew I needed to see a chiropractor, but when was the question. Over the summer, I went to an event with my aunt at the Fruit and Spice park in the redlands, and came across a vendor table and rep, for New Leaf Chiropractic. After speaking with the rep, she did a quick analysis on my neck, and the results were pretty alarming. I ended up paying to get a consultation done at the office.
At the consultation, I met with Dr. Richard Rosado. After describing the pain I was in, and his analysis, we then did X-rays. This involved coming back in another day to give him a chance to review them. After seeing the X-rays, I knew my neck and spine were not in good shape, especially for someone my age, and this even affected my hips, leaving one leg to feel shorter than the other. Thankfully I was still in a stage in which it could be corrected with time, and I wouldn't need surgery.
I was given a treatment plan, and explained the different costs. Now, is it costly? Yes. But what does that mean, that your well-being isn't worth it? I've read many reviews complaining about the prices and so on and so far. By no means am I telling you to spend the money here, and that this is the only place to go. Do your research, absolutely. But after I met with the doctor and saw the establishment, I felt this was the place for me. It's also worth mentioning that they do their best to work with you and the payment plan. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I can see the sense of community here and I always feel comfortable when coming.
I have been coming to this practice now for 2 months, and have a few more treatments left before the end of this treatment plan. My back has been feeling much better. I haven't felt pain when driving, my sleep is better, and I'm not in pain getting out of bed. Now, is my spine and neck issue completely gone? No. But I am well aware that this will take time. It entails utilizing the exercises they have shown me, as well as being conscious of my posture, and the way that I sleep in bed. All in all, I am very pleased with my current results, and look forward to continuing the treatment.
