Dr Amanda's chiropractic story
In my youth, I was an athlete. I played several different sports: softball, basketball, volleyball, and track. I was even a cheerleader in 5th grade. I had several injuries, but none were serious. I did what every kid was told to do: "walk it off". I was also in several car accidents as a child and teenager and even a couple in my early twenties. Since I had never been to a chiropractor, I had no idea about the damage occurring in my body. I discovered chiropractic shortly before my 29th birthday, and after my very first adjustment, I felt a cool tingling sensation in my neck. It felt like something was waking up for the first time. After some time, I suddenly realized I wasn't struggling to concentrate. I had less brain fog, I could read a full paragraph without stopping to re-read a sentence. I decided then that Chiropractic was the answer to my life's purpose. I started the program in Georgia just 2 months later and never looked back! I have been getting adjusted regularly since then and have made other lifestyle changes that have greatly improved my quality of life.
My husband and I struggled for 4 years to conceive naturally. We considered IUI, but quickly realized it wasn't for us. We decided to do everything naturally, aiming to make our bodies as healthy as possible for conception. During this journey, I learned a few key things about my body that suddenly explained why we were struggling. With the help of a few holistic health professionals and regular adjustments, we were able to conceive in November 2023. Pregnancy was a pleasant experience for me. A Webster-certified chiropractor adjusted me before, during and after pregnancy. I was 40 when I conceived and 41 when I delivered, which is considered to be a "geriatric pregnancy". I never felt that way. I had a low-risk pregnancy and was able to naturally deliver my baby girl at almost 42 weeks gestation a birthing center in Austin.
