chronic low back pain

“ For as long as I can remember, I would ask my mom to rub my low back every night due to how tense it felt after sitting in class all day. It felt like a constant knot deep in my back and got worse the longer I sat. I went to the children’s hospital when I was 16, but the CT, MRI, and x-rays were inconclusive so I was referred to physical therapy for core stabilization, which did not get rid of the pain. I didn’t want to depend on drugs, so I used stretching, massage, and IcyHot almost every night, but it would only help temporarily. I had doubts that chiropractic would help me because I had been dealing with it for so long. My results took consistent twice a week care for a few months, and each time I felt better especially when I realized my pain frequency was steadily decreasing. Now I have no low back pain! After seeing my results, my mom started getting care so she wouldn’t be so sore at work all of the time. I feel safe and comfortable in Dr. Marisa’s hands. Her confidence and capabilities make me look forward to every visit and I still go as a preventative measure every week to prevent my pain from coming back. I can’t thank Dr. Marisa enough for the quality care that she gives and recommend chiropractic to everyone! Why wouldn’t people want to live their best life without suffering? “
