Motivation for beginning chiropractic care at Spinal Health & Wellness

Before coming to see Dr. Garnecki, I was in PAIN. I injured my back during a period of time that I was recovering from knee surgery. Things were going along very well and I bent over to pick something up and OUCH- I had a back spasm that brought tears to my eyes and then did not go away for days. I was actually traveling when this occurred and I had to postpone my trip home due to the pain and the trip (an eight hour drive) was terrible. I had to stop every hour to walk. I saw Dr. Dolly the next day, and was really desperate for relief and ready to do everything she told me to do in order to get better. I noted differences almost immediately and within several adjustments and by doing the exercises  my pain diminished and I was able to get back to my life!

How I benefitted from care . . .

Several ways- first Dolly was very thorough with my treatment plan and I really felt that it was comprehensive taking into account not only my injury but also several lifestyle factors that could aid in my recovery. For example nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc. After having the knee surgery followed by the back injury I was just feeling unhealthy and at 35 that is the opposite of how I wanted to feel. Dolly and Sloane were great at teaching me the exercises that I needed to do to recover and were encouraging and kept me consistent in doing them. Also once I was on my way they recommended a fantastic personal trainer for me to work with in order to progress and regain my health.

Why I recommend YOU see Dr. Garnecki

The treatment is comprehensive, evidenced based, effective and provided in a caring, compassionate, and comfortable environment.

I had been suffering from back pain for over three years before I saw Dr. Garnecki. I had seen a posture specialist and another chiropractor who informed me that I had scoliosis at the age of 62. One morning, I woke with a very sharp pain in my lower back which was very debilitating. After several adjustments, my [previous] chiropractor sent me to a physical therapist, but the exercises didn’t help. Then, I had an MRI which confirmed my suspision of a pinched nerve. What I didn’t know was that I had a degenerated disc that was pinching the nerves – three to be exact. I then went to the Pain Clinic and had two shots. They didn’t help either.

While having a massage, my masseuse suggested I see Dr. Garnecki for a second opinion.

I was very impressed with the thoroughness of her initial exam and the program she outlined for my condition. After almost two months of working with Dr. Garnecki, not only is my scoliosis improving, but the pain from the pinched nerves is getting better.
