Emotional Balance

Due to stresses in my life I had not had a restful sleep in 8 months. In a few short weeks after beginning chiropractic care that all changed. Now I am sleeping deeply and feeling rested. This was not the reason I began care, it was much more to resolve a physical issue, this was a very welcomed by product. I feel a calmness and serenity that I also did not before. I am thankful for this and it has given me the REAL me back. Thanks.    Connie

Pregnancy

I would strongly recommend chiropractic care to anyone but especially a pregnant women. I have felt the difference while being pregnant and being under chiropractic care and  being pregnant and not being under chiropractic care, what a difference!. In my second pregnancy ( my first pregnancy was twins) I was under the care of Dr. Laura from 5 1/2 months onwards. At 37 weeks we had discovered the baby had turned breech . I immediately contacted Dr. Laura, she was familiar with the  Chiropractic technique for externally turning breech babies called “ The Webster Technique “. Dr. Laura provided articles on it prior to our next visit to ensure my comfort. This was on a Friday. By the Monday , confirmed by ultrasound,  our baby girl had turned and stayed head down.     Carla B

Bed Wetting

Many thanks to Dr. Laura, it is very interesting how it has assisted my son (9). He has, in the past, wet the bed considerably. This has been the case for many years, and I thought it was something he would just grow out of. We began care for him for another reason ,but soon found out that chiropractic care had something to do with decreasing the frequency with which we had wet nights. After the very first visit we noticed he didn’t wet the bed! This was welcomed ,as these accidents were stressful for my son, negatively affecting his self-esteem and restricting his over night sleepovers with friends. We then took a pause in care for my son and he began to wet the bed  again. We resumed treatments and he stopped wetting the bed. We clearly see an association here with chiropractic care and decreasing the frequency of wet nights.

Hot Flashes

I am 49 years young and had recently began to experience the uncomfortable and sometimes embarassing symptoms of menaupause, specifically hot flashes. I did not want to investigate the HRT route. I began to see Dr. Laura Gravelle , and within 2 visits the hot flashes have been eliminated completely.  I am finally getting  a good nights sleep.  Susan W

Labour

I knew chiropractic care had many uses while pregnant but didn’t realize they could help so much at the end of pregnancy. At 42 weeks pregnant with our third child, my midwife was starting to mention induction. I didn’t want to go this route as my first birthing experience had a great deal of medical intervention. I saw Dr. Laura  for a complete consultation and adjustment to see if we could get things going.  Two hours after that adjustment my water broke!. After another adjustment soon after that one ,labour began and our 3rd child was born at home in a birthing tub. I credit chiropractic care in assisting those end stages and encouraging the progression of labour along.   Lindsay M

Out of the Dark

"Before chiropractic I was not very happy. I suffered from fibromyalgia for 20 years. I was depressed and on a cocktail of medication daily. Some meds to sleep, others for pain, many for depression. I suffered from heartburn ( from years of heavy pain killer medication prescription- they always tried heavier and stronger dosages with no avail) and could never enjoy dinner with friends in fear of late night indigestion. My headaches were daily and very severe.I didn’t smile and I wasn’t fun to be around. I had put on a few extra pounds which compounded the depression. I was introduced to chiropractic care and my life changed!. In 3 short months my family could not believe the changes. I was smiling more, I had energy to go for nightly walks and even begin to get back to the gym. The heartburn was under control for the first time in years and I was able to cut back my depression medication. I was off all pain medication in 3 months. This is when I needed 6 advil a day to function ( which compounded the heartburn and indigestion ). I am thankful for the gift of health through chiropractic . My husband says he has his wife back. My heart says thanks…"     Celine
