My New Years resolution for 2018 was to simply be “pain free.” Since 2016, the pain in my body has resonated in every single nook and cranny of my body. It had gotten to the point where when I woke up in the morning I couldn’t even stand straight. I joked that I reminded myself of the Tim Conway sketch from the Carol Burnett show. But it wasn’t funny. It was heartbreaking. I was in my late 40s, and this is how I was feeling?! I went to doctors, massage therapists, nutritionists, physical therapists, acupuncturists. I’ve had my blood tested for everything under the sun. I wasn’t allergic to anything, I wasn’t sensitive to anything, there was no explanation for why I felt so bad. And I was still in so much pain. I would wake up vomiting for no reason. I’d get a massage, it would feel good for the time being, and then I would walk out and it was like it never happened. I was being encouraged to go see a chiropractor. I didn’t grow up believing in chiropractors. At all. I have a very medically focused family. We don’t do chiropractors. But then, my sister went. And then my mother went. And then…the biggest skeptic of all, my father went. My mother had been using a cane when she first followed my sister’s suggestion. She was able to walk without a cane after visiting Dr. Christy and Active Life Chiropractic. Since I had tried absolutely everything else in Columbia, I was willing to give it a try. I’m not gonna lie, I went in kicking and screaming. But you know what, I got results. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. At first they told me I needed to go three days a week. I didn’t think I could possibly manage that with my schedule. But you know what, they made it work for me. And not only did I go three times a week, but I went five times a week. And you know what, I would do it again. I can’t tell you how much better I feel. I have had pains from 2001 that have disappeared. I never knew that that would ever, ever, ever be an option. Your body, your choice. But when you find something that works, you don’t want to keep that a secret. And so I am here to tell you that if you are eager for a change, if you are willing to get immediate results, and feel better…you are in the right hands. Dr. Sam and Dr. Christy have literally changed my life. Physically and emotionally. I never thought it was a remote possibility to improve as much as I have. I have never had a diagnosis for what ailed me “specifically” and quite frankly I don’t even care. The most important thing to me, is that I feel better. And I want you to feel better too. So I am here to give you a slice of happiness. Go get yours. 🍎
First visit and was very impressed with Dr Sam’s knowledge and efficiency. Looking forward to my next visit!
