| - I'm a chiro convert. Over the last few years, as I've looked for more ways to bring holistic and eastern techniques into my preventative wellness regime, chiropractic has become a mainstay. Although I can't document every scientific reason why it works, here's how I would describe it. Your spine contains the super highway of your body. All your nerves travel up and down that super highway, sending signals telling every other part of your body about what it should and shouldn't be doing. Everything from the stress of general living, to an unexpected accident, can throw that system out of whack. And when it's out of whack, everything suffers. Keeping my super highway running smoothly is the reason I'm a chiro convert.
I came to Chandler Chiropractic with a whole lot of out of whackness due to a whole heck of a lot of stress. I run a fast paced business with lots of clients, have a 14-month old and am constantly on the go. I was having a bunch of systematic symptoms. Headaches, light but persistent dizziness, crunchy joints and a feeling of all around fogginess. The stuff I'd generally just attribute to life stress, but that also gets in the way of feeling generally awesome...which is certainly my preferred state!
I'd been to quite a few chiropractors before and I'll be honest...one of the things that I like about them is that you can get in and out quickly. (I love acupuncture too, but who has time to take an hour out of their schedule every week). But this same efficiency can leave you feeling like a number. But not at Chandler. Dr. Mike is as caring as they come. Every single time I see him, I feel like his focus is completely on me. He asks the right questions, listens to anything that I have to tell him, and then customizes my care. And when it comes to the adjustment itself, he's incredibly gentle. No jerking or uncomfortable movement ever. It's as relaxing as it is therapeutic. He's also treated my husband and son, and I know they feel exactly the same.
And beyond the great treatment, there's something I really like about Chandler being a family operation. Dr. Mike's wife Martha has always been fantastic with my family, and she treated my son as if he was her own! She's always there to greet us, answer any questions and help us try out some of the cool stretching and therapeutic equipment they have. It's nice that there are still a few family run businesses out there, and that's always something I'm willing to support.
So, like I said, chiro has become a big part of my wellness regime, and it really has done wonders for reducing all the negative things that stress does in my body. I'm not a big review writer, but I believe in the care so much that in doing this, my hope is that somebody else will try it out and experience the same things I have.
Oh, and I think Dr. Mike and his team are moving offices across the street soon, so if you go in before the move, just make sure you get the new address so that you can find them!
