I delivered my second child via caesarean-section. Then, I started having shoulder, neck, and head pain after she was born. I also noticed bruises developing in my abdomen and lower back. Chiropractor in Orange County California

My older child, Joseph, did not understand why his mommy suddenly was unable to pick him up, carry him around, or even get down in the floor to play together. I just cannot stand the pain.

Since I was so much in pain, I decided it would be a good idea to seek a chiropractor and begin treatment the soonest since I had visited a chiropractor several years ago where I used to live. Then I got in touch with Great Life Chiropractic In Costa Mesa for my first scheduled appointment.

I felt totally at ease during my consultation with Dr. Candice McCowin, DC because she genuinely seemed interested in why I was there. She inquired regarding the birth, my lifestyle, eating habits, and sleeping habits. Apparently, she was already handling me as a whole person instead of the symptoms that have brought me to her that day.

The first adjustment was a success! The pain in my shoulder, neck and head subsided promptly. Although I expect for relapse because of what I have gone through with the pregnancy and c-section. It was a matter of the vertebral subluxations (spinal imbalance putting pressure on the nervous system) still being present, and the best thing to do is to keep the spine maintained over time.

It only took a couple of treatments for me to realize how much my young family could benefit from chiropractic care. So I brought along my new baby, Sophia for Dr. McCowin to see. I was just concern on what she had gone through during the c-section. She has been spitting up more often, which I did not see in my son when he was a baby.

Baby Sophia began to keep milk down without the excessive spitting up, which was a big relief after following her treatments. After a year since Joseph underwent Dr. McCowin’s care, the results have been impressive. He lost his problem going to sleep at night and his constipation trouble.

My only regret is not finding Great Life Chiropractic sooner. I have read studies on how easy it would be for women to recover from pregnancy and birth after establishing chiropractic care instead of waiting to begin after delivery. Of course, I can’t turn back the clock, so I say, “Better late than never. ” Chiropractic Treatment in Orange County California
