| - Been holding off in this review until I got fully healed and I'm just about there.
My whole life I've suffered from bad posture. This was probably due to sitting poorly and spending too much time in front of a computer, among other things.
Well, it eventually caught up with me and I ended up hurting my back from sitting too long one day.
It was terrible... I had this burning, sore sensation around the middle of my back that would go numb and tingly. I only found relief at night when I went to bed and took the pressure off my spine. It had to have been one of the worse feelings in my life.
I held off on going to a chiropractor because I was just praying it would heal and go away. For the most part, it did but only about 50% there. It then just stopped healing... the pain that was left did not get better over time and I knew I had to go see a doctor.
I've watched some chiropractic videos on YouTube so I specifically wanted to find someone who practice Gonstead Method. Dr. Quan was the first result that came up so I went. I honestly wish I had done this sooner, I don't know what I was afraid of.
Let me just first say Dr. Quan has to be one of the nicest, most positive, vibrant human beings I've had the pleasure of meeting. Everyone there is very sweet and it's always a pleasure to see them.
So as for the adjustments. The first meeting is a consultation and then you take X-rays. I had the opportunity to get my first adjustment later that day so I took it. I was just in pain so I wanted relief immediately.
Let me tell you after that first adjustment it was like being given a new body. I had gone my whole life not knowing what being truly healthy was.
The pain in my middle of my back was gone temporarily but something even more amazing happened... Dr. Quan cured my chonic headaches! I was having migraines several times a week. They usually come on when I don't sleep well but since I've had my adjustments in these 2 months, I've maybe had 2 minor headaches which didn't require Advil to cure. I was taking Advil several times a week to help with my headaches.
Beyond that my posture is so much better, there's less tension in my back, my range of motion has increased as well.
I've also been seeing Oscar who does the medical massages and he's been doing a great job of helping me heal as well. I highly recommend him too.
In any case, before this goes on too long, yes Dr. Quan will absolutely help you with your back issues but don't think you'll be better in 1 adjustment. It depends on the person and severity of the injury but for me personally it took me about a month to get 98% there. Right now there's some slight residual soreness in my back if I've been sitting too long or slouching too much but otherwise I'm completely healed.
Thanks Dr. Quan and Oscar, you've given me my life back and more. You guys are the best!
