Back in about 2010, I was having major shoulder pain. I had done everything besides a MRI that my…read moreMD could do for me. My husband and mother-in-law finally convinced me to go to a chiropractor. Skeptically, I decided to try it out. I went to a chiropractor that practiced NUCCA. I decided that I actually liked it and it was working! I continued on a fairly regular basis to get adjusted. My pain went a way, for the most part and I improved my range of motion. My first doctor ended up relocating so I switched to another one that also practiced NUCCA, that one was in Longmont, CO and it became too far for me to travel. A couple of years went by and I was not able to find a NUCCA chiropractor any closer than the one in Longmont. My pain gradually came back, except this time it was in my wrist. It was so bad that I could barely write, much less do anything else. I was wearing a wrist brace basically 24/7. I slept in it, I ate in it, and I did everything in it. My wrist was numb and tingly all most all of the time. It throb all the time and became unbearable!
The day finally came that I made one of the MOST IMPORTANT decisions of my life...my pain was so bad that I said, "Ok Google! Where is the closet NUCCA chiropractor to Cheyenne Wyoming"...then she popped up the information for Livin' Well Family Chiropractic. Man, was I excited!! I couldn't believe that there was actually one in Cheyenne! As I was looking at their website, it soon became clear that Google was wrong! This chiropractor was NOT a NUCCA chiropractor! I wasn't comfortable with "being cracked". I was even more concerned about that than I was chiropractic care in the first place. I did some reading up about the Gonstead technique, slept on it and then decided that, due to the amount of pain that I was in, why not give it a shot! What was the worst that could happen at this point?!
So, I called and made an appointment. It just so happened that they were running a special for that month and I was able to get my first appointment at a discounted cost! I soon learned something...I LOVE "getting cracked". It really is one of the best feelings in life. Not to mention the instant relief that I get and even more so, the long term relief that I get. The Livin' Well team are THE BEST teachers about chiropractic! Don't get me wrong, I liked my other chiropractors. But I have learned SO much more from the Livin' Well team! Not only do I know that they are going to make me feel better and keep me from getting worse, I know the how's, why's, and what's of how my spine, nerves, central nervous system and body overall works. I understand what I do that contributes to my subluxation and what I can do to decrease it.
I have only been going to Livin' Well Family Chiropractic for 5 months and I have made leaps and bounds in my range of motion and eliminated the pain in my wrist. I could have never made it this far without Dr. Marley and his team. They have been troopers dealing with me and my grouchiness at times, helping me with my pain, redirecting my behaviors when needed (Dr. Marley would give me the "stern dad look" when he saw me wearing my brace too much), and most of all-my crazy schedule! The really are the very best!
I am so glad that I followed Googles lead that day instead of staying stuck in my ways! Make one of the best decisions of your life also and go to Livin' Well Family Chiropractic! You won't regret it!!!
