I have always been intimidated by the idea of going to a chiropractor (why fix what's not broken,right?). But when I was unable to turn my neck, it was a no brainer. Dr. Jameson used a combination of gentle chiropractic and massage therapy to get my range of motion back.
Aside from the chiropractic treatment; Dr. Jameson spent some time teaching me a few stretches and worked w/ me on my posture so I can keep my body in balance. I had 90% improvement immediately after the first treatment and the next day felt even better.
I went to my next appointment even though I felt better. I honestly just wanted to lay on that heated massage roller table! Despite my having no symptoms Dr. Jameson palpated my back and much to my surprise I was still tight and tender. He suggested I should "think of my body as a garden that needs to be watered and nurtured; as opposed to a car that I bring to the mechanic after the engine has caught fire".
Since then I have been going to the chiropractor on a bi-weekly basis, and now I look forward to my visits because I know I'm going to feel better after!
