I have never been to a Chiropractor before but for the past 3 or so weeks I have been suffering with Sciatica. I mean to the point that I couldn't put any weight on my left leg. Which made working ( I'm a massage therapist) almost impossible. I was contemplating on renting some crutches because I didn't know how I was going to live my life for the next 7 weeks or so of my pregnancy.
Well, I have started working for a chiropractor, doing massages in her office and it just happened that we were meeting for the first time during my PAIN! She was interested in trading massage for adjustments and I'm SO glad!! My pain is much, much better! I mean I would have to rate on a scale from 1-10, for two weeks it was a 9 and now it's probably a 2. It's just amazing ot me.
So yesterday it had been one week since my last adjustment and I wanted to get another one before the pain returned. I took the advice that I would give one of my cleients so I went to get a massage to loosen up the muscles so the chiropractor could get a better adjustment. I went to a full on "THERAPY" massage therapist rather that a "fluff and buff" massage and I felt like I was in labor. I had to breathe through the whole thing. I had my low back (sacrum) worked and it was just the most painful! Hopefully worth it.
Here's to another week of walking!!!
So, here is the deal of me working at Legacy Chiropractic and Wellness Center. I have my own room there so I will be available to do massages at both places, there and @ Studio. This chiropractors name is Shannon Nelson. She specalizes in womans health, although she has a wide range of clients. Here is where she is located...
that is so cool that you are keeping so busy with massage! I am glad that she was able to help you with your pain, the last little while of pregnancy is never fun.
