Your Las Vegas Chiropractor

While I was growing up, my family had never chosen chiropractic care part of our normal medical routine. But it changed when my dad began to have trouble with his back seizing up. He sought the care of a doctor of chiropractic and had such great results that I decided to go, as well. I was in high school at the time, participating in cheerleading and gymnastics, but all of the strain caused pain in my neck and back. Chiropractic Care In Costa Mesa

For nearly ten years later, I am still under the care of a chiropractic doctor. When I graduated from college and moved a few hours away from my hometown, I knew that I would need to look for someone immediately and continue my chiropractic care on a monthly basis. I asked around at my new job to see if anyone knew of a great chiropractor, and a couple of co-workers said that they highly recommended Dr.Candice McCowin, DC, at Great Life Chiropractic in Costa Mesa.

From there, chiropractic care was something my entire family preferred. My mom was suffering from sciatica, which caused her great discomfort. It was difficult for her to stand very long without feeling pain in the backs of her legs. Since she worked full-time in my parents’ retail store, where standing to assist customers and ring up sales each day was a big part of the job description, this made life difficult for her.

Mom had taken several days off to visit me in Orange County, and she mentioned that she had not been feeling well. Dr. McCowin was able to squeeze her into her busy schedule and we learned that sciatica is a symptom which often shows up as leg pain. it might be nothing more than a strong cramp in the leg or it can be an absolutely excruciating, shooting pain, the victim would feel impossible to sit or stand. Whether she was sitting or standing, barely able to find a comfortable position was the way Mom had been feeling.

While Dr. McCowin took Mom’s medical history, she explained that the pain is more intense when sitting, sneezing, or coughing sometimes. She said that sciatica can either occur suddenly or develop slowly. There are times where patients report feeling weakness, numbness, or the sensation of burning or tingling in the leg or toes.

To each bit of information as the doctor spoke, Mom nodded her head “yes”. Even it meant driving a couple of hours from my hometown to Costa Mesa in order to continue treatment, she was excited to put her care for feeling all of these symptoms in Dr. McCowin’s hands.

Because of the results that we have seen, I recommend chiropractic care to everyone that I know. Chiropractic Treatment In Orange County
