Why I Go To The Chiropractor
By Danielle Vavra

I go to the chiropractor because, being a gymnast, I need to have good alignment, good posture, and be flexible.

I work out at the gym for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, and that takes a toll on my body. All the running, jumping, swinging and leaping is hard on my wrists, knees, and ankles. Recently I sprained my wrist, and if I hadn’t gotten adjusted frequently, I would have been out for at least another week.

Being a gymnast for 8 years now, I have developed tendonitis in both of my knees. I have numerous people tell me that if I hadn’t been seeing a chiropractor I would have had to drop out years ago. I have to go in at least twice a week for my knees, and if I don’t, they start to hurt so badly it hurts to walk.

So, chiropractic plays a large roll in my gymnastics career. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today. And tomorrow, when I’m too old for gymnastics, my body won’t be too worn out to enjoy life.
I have been feeling much better and am in much better health since getting chiropractic treatment from Kirkland Life Chiropractic.

I have 2 herniated disks in my lower back, and life was so miserable, that I had to constantly taking Advil and even stronger anti-inflammatory/ pain killers daily. My back doctor already gave me two cortisone injections and he suggested that I take another one to relieve the pain. I also had to go to a physical therapist at least twice a week.

But, then, a coworker told me about Dr. Adams. I came to see her and had my first chiropractic adjustment. After three months of treatment, I could feel the benefits; my back pain was more tolerable, I didn’t have to take the third injection of cortisone, and took less pain killers. That alone saved me thousands of dollars.

Now after more than a couple of years, my health is much better now. I hardly take pain killers now.
