Father, Mother, and Daughter Searching For Successful Treatment of Ailments Using Chiropractic Treatment In Costa Mesa
While I was growing up, my family had never chosen chiropractic care part of our normal medical routine. However, when my dad started having trouble with his back seizing up, that changed. He sought the care of a doctor of chiropractic and had such great results that I decided to go, as well. The strain caused pain in my neck and back for participating in cheerleading and gymnastics when I was in high school at that time. Chiropractic Care In Costa Mesa
Nearly ten years later, I am still under the care of a chiropractic doctor. When I graduated from college and moved a few hours away from my hometown, I knew that I would need to look for someone immediately and continue my chiropractic care on a monthly basis. Dr. Candice McCowin, DC at Great Life Chiropractic in Costa Mesa was highly recommended by a couple of co-workers when I asked around at my new job to see if anyone knew of a great chiropractor.
Soon, chiropractic care was something that my entire family sought. My mom was suffering from sciatica, which caused her great discomfort. The pain in the backs of her legs made it difficult for her to stand very long. Her job description of standing to assist customers and ring up sales each day full-time in my parents’ retail store really made life difficult for her.
She mentioned that she had not been feeling well and had taken several days off to visit me in Orange County. Dr.McCowin was able to fit her into her busy schedule, and we learned that sciatica is a symptom which often shows up as leg pain. It might be nothing more than a strong cramp in the leg, or it can be an absolutely excruciating, shooting pain that makes it impossible for the victim to sit or stand. Barely able to find a comfortable position, whether she was sitting or standing, was the way Mom had been feeling.
While Dr. McCowin took Mom’s medical history, she explained that the pain is more intense when sitting, sneezing, or coughing sometimes. Sciatica, she said, can occur suddenly or develop slowly. Sometimes, patients report feeling weakness, numbness, or the sensation of burning or tingling in the leg or toes.
Mom just nodded her head “yes” on every bit of information which the doctor said. She had been feeling all of these symptoms and was excited to put her care in Dr.McCowin’s hands, even if it meant driving a couple of hours, from my hometown to Costa Mesa, in order to continue treatment.
Now that chiropractic care has become such a huge part of our healthcare, my entire family makes it a priority to receive regular adjustments. Chiropractic Treatment In Costa Mesa
