After my two car accidents, two surgeries, a year of being bedridden, and having the WORST posture, I finally listened to my boss of 8 years and called Westside. The girls at the front desk are amazing, very helpful and also kind, I immediately felt welcome when I walked in the door. My first visit with Dr. Chris Prewo, he did an exam, confirmed that my head was definitely beating the race from the rest of my body, and then sent me for XRays. I went to tolland imaging for the xrays (also very nice there, i waited MAYBE 10 minutes) and they gave me the print outs of the XRays!! Very cool to actually see. I brought these XRays to Dr. Chris, at this point he determines that I should be seen 3x a week. After probably a month of seeing Dr Chris 3x a week, I saw and felt a physical difference in my body. I could get through an entire workday without ending up curled up in a ball on the floor of my office, and I finally was able to get back into yoga and just living my life. Dr Chris opened my eyes to the importance of spinal care and also the importance of preventative medicine. If your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and so on have had bad backs, why would you just want to wait until you also have a "bad back" when instead you can use chiropractic therapy to work to prevent the issue.
I have also been seeing Michael, the massage therapist. To put it shortly this man has also changed my life. I try and get a massage every week and a half, the pricing is very reasonable. especially compared to typical massage pricing. He is in no way just a masseuse; this is a person who knows the human body, and works alongside the chiropractic doctors to help heal, and strengthen his patients.
I have been to MANY doctors, this is different. This is something you need to want, and fully commit to, but if you do - I promise you that you will see and feel the results. Of course taking handfuls of pills a day is easier, but so is eating McDonalds everyday.
Love your body! It's the only one you have :)
