Prenatal Chiropractic Care

My first pregnancy had a number of complications due to fetal mal-positioning (back labour pain, long labour, asymmetrical uterine contractions, failure to progress) leading to more intervention and eventually a cesarean birth.

When my second pregnancy showed the same positioning, the midwife recommended Dr. Norman. I started treatment with Dr. Norman at 37 weeks, and she provided adjustments to correct posture from sitting too long, and a long-ago tail bone injury. A few weeks into treatment our baby was born, quickly, naturally and without any back labour pains.

Dr. Norman’s adjustments were gentle and after a few sessions there was improvement. I would recommend Dr. Norman for pre and post natal care, to improve your birth experience.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care

I started seeing Dr. Norman when I was 19 weeks pregnant. I came in with severe back pain. She always welcomed me and took the time to explain the problem again and again. I didn’t need pain killers or medicated rubs.

Dr. Norman gave me a list of exercises and stretches that I could do at home. Consistency also played a huge role in my ongoing treatment. Thanks to her I was able to walk and enjoy my pregnancy. It is funny how there are a lot of misconception about chiropractors. Some people fear that adjustments will hurt or are dangerous. I want to assure everyone that it is not true. Give them a chance and be consistent with your care, you won't regret it!

Fibromyalgia

I suffered from fibromyalgia. Before I started adjustments, my muscles were so seized up it hurt to move I would try to stretch and the pain would make me cry. I noticed a change in the first few weeks. My muscles would occasionally go to sleep and cause a numb tingly feeling. It was mostly happening in my leg. That symptom was one of the first to ease with adjustments. Now with Chiropractic care I can move with little discomfort. I have mobility in my neck again!

Today I have less migraine headaches than I used to. I have more mobility. I can move freely without pain. I even attempted to play volleyball last summer. It helped my emotional wellbeing by easing the constant pain.

I feel adjustments are necessary to maintain the level of health I possess at the moment. I never want to lapse back into the state my body was in before I started chiropractic care.

Back and Neck Pain

I started Chiropractic care when I decided that I just couldn't keep on dealing with pain.

It was about two weeks after my first adjustment that I started to feel noticable improvements in my condition and in my health.

Today I feel much better in all aspects of my life. I have a lot more energy and I can do whatever I feel like doing. I am also more efficient at work.

I still go for my Chiropractic adjustments regularly so that I can maintain the amazing results.

Restoring Motion

I was introduced to this clinic when I saw the positive results that my mother had with chiropractic adjustments. When I first came in, I was in really bad shape. I had trouble bending my back, and kneeling was nearly impossible due to knee pain.

I could feel a big improvement after two weeks of care. After my first adjustment I had more flexibility in my back, and the lower back pain slowly went away. Because of chiropractic care I am now able to jog without knee pain, I can work out again and my health is much better.

Chiropractic care is important because it not only relieves pain but it also reduces stress. I find that I am more relaxed after each adjustment.

Acute Lower and Upper Back Pain

I chose chiropractic care after a long time of suffering from acute lower and upper back pain. My friend told me about chiropractic care. She said it involved no medication and the result of the treatment was quite effective, within a few weeks. Her testimonial convinced me that this was a better treatment for me.

The pain I had prior to attending chiropractic treatment was quite excruciating and I was bed-ridden most of the time. I saw two specialists as a result. They gave me a number of pills to alleviate the pain, none of which worked. The medications instead messed up my digestive system and caused other health problems.

About ten days after I had started chiropractic care, the pain in my back improved a great deal. I began to bend effortlessly, walked and even breathed in more air. My life changed and I could play with my children once again. I have other health problems but chiropractic treatment has enabled me to cope well and move more freely. Getting out of the bed in the morning is no longer a problem. I can also sleep much better now.

Chiropractic care is important even after the symptoms are relieved because it keeps one from relapsing back to the initial condition of pain.

Thank you!

“Thank you” just doesn’t quite cut it!

In early January 2004, I came in for an assessment once again as I’d thrown my lower back out over Christmas. I was feeling somewhat miserable and grumpy about the whole thing.

Normally, I would simply see a physiotherapist or do some exercises I had learned a long time ago and that would do the trick, until the next time.

Friends and family had mentioned how much chiropractic care had benefited them so I thought “what the heck” and decided to investigate further.

It was by, what some would say, sheer chance that I came across your contact details. Yet I knew the moment that I walked into the clinic that this was the right place to be. I felt that I could quite literally put my health in your hands.

It took me a couple of weeks to make the personal and financial commitment to chiropractic care. Let’s face it – many of us tend to feel guilty if we put ourselves first and we’ll use any excuse (like “I can’t afford it” or “I don’t have enough time”) to avoid “appearing selfish”. We tend to give to others before we give to ourselves, and I too get caught by this trap from time to time.

But within 10 days of regularly coming in to see you, my back felt better and I was on course for making significant changes in my life, thanks to your professionalism, commitment and sense of integrity.

Not only do I now have a deeper understanding of what is going on with my back, but also how everything within is connected. As my back has continued to improve, so has my overall health. I’ve taken on board the fundamental priority of taking care of myself and have happily discovered just how simple that really is.

Most importantly though is my heightened interest in my own well-being, which has me on a path of self-care that actually means I am able to give more to myself and others without feeling stressed, overwhelmed or exhausted.

Your dedication to serving your clients is evident and simply a given. You continue to share your knowledge and awareness and that adds huge value to your expertise as a chiropractor. I am extremely grateful that you do what you do.
